From Detroit roots to national deal flow, Jaidyn Smith shares how an accidental cold call landed her first shopping-center listing and how she’s since built a book of buyers and sellers across the country. Her approach is simple and durable: master the fundamentals (call, follow up, ask better questions), then amplify them with social—showing up on camera to build trust and spark real conversations.
In this Rent’s Due episode, Jaidyn walks through the ripple effects of one listing, why she still swears by the phone, and how a single Instagram video led to a $10M 1031 hospital trade. If you’re breaking into investment sales—or leveling up from STNL to centers—this is a fast, practical playbook for momentum.
