Giannis shares his journey from family business (dad's liquor stores + property) through Marcus & Millichap brokerage to joining Crexie as business development head. He explains how Crexie transformed his brokerage practice through data transparency, then discusses Crexie's evolution: auctions (largest deal $205M), intelligence (comps/debt/demographics), and pro tools using machine learning.
