In this episode of Real Talk, I speak with Mark Gibson, JLL CEO Capital Markets, Americas.

We discuss:

* Starting to see signs of capitulation

* Institutions are starting to come back to the market

* Office is oversold and likely not going to see real distress in other markets

Mark leads nearly 2,000 capital markets professionals across the United States, Canada, and Latin America. He also shares responsibility for the strategic direction, growth, and client activities of JLL's global capital markets business as a member of the firm's global capital markets board.
