[00:00:00]Like, we just closed the first billion-dollar deal. We just picked up an exclusive listing on a billion and a half dollar transaction. [music] This is 5 million buildable square feet. I saw mostly land development and redevelopment properties in New York.

[00:00:13]And we competed against the four biggest companies on the globe.

[00:00:17]C&W, JLL, CBRE, and Newmark.

[00:00:22]And we went in this this property is owned by three families. They had interviewing [music] the brokers were two members of each family.
