    How to Sell Industrial Real Estate in California
    Jun 16 2026

    I wanted to understand what it’s really like to sell industrial properties in California…

    So I sat down with Allen Buchanan, an alumni from The University of Arkansas who works at Lee & Associates, to learn more about his business and advice for new brokers.


    Here’s what I learned:

    How to strategically network

    Ways to prioritize time as a broker

    Opportunities to think creatively

    How to find your specialty in brokerage

    Personally, my biggest learning was how important it is to think creatively to get deals completed.
