7:30 a.m. - I arrive at the office for our Tenant Rep meeting. We are having a speaker from a local bank that will talk
about owner/occupied financing. Our investment sales team will give us an overview on how the market is changing.
9:00 a.m. -I begin the day by making calls. Reaching out to people and meeting with new companies is my main job
description, as well as my most favorable aspect of my job. I aim to do a small amount of research on the companies
before I make each call so that I will have something compelling to talk about.
10:00 a.m. - I follow up with one of my clients and check on how the build-out of their new space is moving along. Many
times our job is not complete after the deal is signed in ink. Two of our most important goals are to always be
there for our clients and to make each client’s move a smooth transition.
11:00 a.m. - I have a conference call with Kyle Jacobs, a Vice President at Stream, and one of our clients in Oklahoma.
We schedule a meeting in Tulsa for the following Tuesday to discuss the client’s real estate needs across the
country.
11:30 a.m. - I call one of our broker affiliates in Seattle, Washington to check on the status of a deal that I had
referred to him. We are able to execute transactions all over the world by utilizing our Oncor affiliates.

12:00 p.m. - I head to lunch and meet with a recent Southern Methodist University (SMU) graduate that is interested in
pursuing a career in the real estate business. When I was looking to dive into the business, I received advice
that was invaluable; therefore, I am always willing to do the same for others.
1:30 p.m. - I am back at the office and making more calls. I have found from experience that it takes several calls to
and conversations with a decision maker before they hire you, so it is very important to remain persistent and
organized in your follow-up.
2:00 p.m. - I head out for a tour in Las Colinas. We tour four buildings over the next two hours and find a few good
options. It is important to have multiple buildings that the tenant is willing to move forward with, as
competition is the only way to build leverage.
5:00 p.m. - I send out Request for Proposals to a couple of the buildings we have toured, check voicemail messages from
throughout the day, and return phone calls. I prefer to get all the busy work off of my desk before I leave the
office each day. Time kills deals, and I never want the ball to be in my court for too long.
7:00 p.m. - I leave the office and head home for the night. To end my hectic day on a relaxing note, I do some light
reading and, of course, watch football.
