The Industrial Real Estate Podcast Buying vs Leasing Commercial & Industrial Real Estate
Interview with George Pino, CEO of Commercial Brokers International.
We'll be discussing the following:
✅ Buying vs leasing commercial & industrial real estate
✅ Pros & Cons of both
✅ Advice to buyers & tenants
George Pino has been involved in the real estate for the past 31 years and oversaw the opening of offices in New York, Massachusetts, Texas, Chicago, and Pleasanton California. George has been personally responsible for the sale of and/or directly involved in the marketing and sale of over 6,000 assets, resulting in closed transactions totaling over a billion dollars throughout the United States.
In 2002, Mr. Pino started Learning Links Centers, LLC, a new type of Socially Responsible Real Estate Investment Company, geared toward investing in low to moderate income neighborhoods in larger metropolitan areas of the United States and highlighting educational opportunities for their residents. Their first acquisition was a 29 unit building located in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Baldwin Village, an area known for both its high density and high crime rate. To date, Learning Links Centers has acquired 7 buildings, for a total of 467 units, with a market value of over $10,000,000.
Concurrently with the establishment of Learning Links Centers, George Pino was recruited by, and joined, DBL Realtors to start their commercial division. After the acquisition of DBL by Sotheby's International Realty, Mr. Pino noticed a need for a boutique commercial company that had its Clients Best Interests in mind. Realizing this need, he started Commercial Broker’s International, a full service commercial brokerage, along with Joseph Killinger.
Mr. Pino graduated from the University of Southern California in 1987 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing.
