In this episode, we sit down with Ryan Brassel, Principal at Rosso Commercial Real Estate Services, for a deep dive into the world of commercial real estate dealmaking. With over $150 million in career transactions, Ryan has carved out a reputation for structuring complex deals across office, retail, industrial, and investment spaces throughout Maryland.
We explore his journey from Division I lacrosse player to respected CRE leader, the most memorable deals he's closed—including the sale of the historic U.S. Naval Academy Alumni Association property and the iconic Ski Haus retail building—and how he continues to shape Maryland's commercial landscape through market insights and community leadership.
Ryan also discusses the future of retail and office space, and how building trust and delivering results have defined his approach. Whether you're an investor, broker, or business owner looking for your next space, this episode is packed with actionable wisdom from a true dealmaker.
