Episode #113 - Allan Perales, Hospitality Realtor

Allan Perales knows how to solve problems. He champions a powerful idea: that there's no such thing as an unsolvable problem -- you're just looking at it from the wrong angle. After working in hospitality as a hotel manager for a number of years, Allan pivoted to a career in real estate. As partner at Goldstreet, his discerning approach and eye for optimal experience have helped independent restaurateurs throughout Chicago secure the space they need to realize their vision. His client list is stacked: Galit, Kasama, Birrieria Zaragoza -- the list goes on. He comes to the studio to tell us all about what brought him to where he is today, in a discussion that covers trends in the real estate market for restaurant owners, the art of securing the right deal, best practices for being a respectful hotel guest, and so much more.
