Commercial Real Estate Investment Professionals to Know 2025

I'm a specialist commercial finance broker with 16 years of experience helping Australian business owners access commercial property finance. As founder of Smart Business Plans, I've overseen $550 million in commercial finance across more than 3,300 clients, with a 92% approval rate working across a panel of 60+ specialist lenders. My expertise sits at the intersection of commercial property, business finance, and wealth strategy — particularly for small to medium business owners looking to buy their own premises, invest through their SMSF, or fund development projects. I work exclusively in the commercial space, which means I specialise where the major banks often can't or won't go. I'm also the author of The Premise Effect (2026), which makes the case for why Australian business owners are leaving millions on the table by renting rather than owning their business premises. I'm available to comment on: commercial property finance, SMSF borrowing, business lending, commercial mortgage rates, Australian property market trends, and small business wealth building.

Kris Bashenow is an Indianapolis-based luxury real estate advisor with The DeBoor Group, powered by Real Broker, working with buyers, sellers, and investors on high-value residential properties in the $700,000 to $2M+ range. She specializes in central Indiana's most architecturally distinctive neighborhoods, including Meridian-Kessler, Williams Creek, Meridian Hills, Herron-Morton Place, the Old Northside, and Downtown Indianapolis. Her background is in high-end property valuation, and it shapes how she works. She is the developer of RCPI, the Replacement Cost Pressure Index, a proprietary, quarterly-published framework that measures how rising replacement costs are reshaping the price floor under upper-tier Indianapolis homes. Clients use it to understand not just what a home is worth, but where the pressure on its value is coming from. Kris's view, sharpened over years in central Indiana's most nuanced micro-markets, is that liquidity in upper-tier real estate comes down to four things: location within the neighborhood, architectural alignment, lot characteristics, and whether the pricing makes intuitive sense to the next buyer. She works extensively with architecturally significant and historic homes across Marion, Hamilton, and Boone counties. Topics Kris Can Speak On Luxury real estate trends in Greater Indianapolis and the Midwest Why $1M+ homes sell or stall, and what sellers misread about pricing RCPI: how replacement cost pressure is reshaping luxury price floors Architecturally significant and historic homes in central Indiana Pricing strategy for luxury listings, including "event pricing" New construction vs. resale at the $1M+ level How architecture, location, and lot characteristics drive luxury value Sample Quotes "Luxury homes don't sit because they're overpriced. They sit because the value isn't obvious to the next buyer." "When replacement cost rises faster than sale prices, every existing high-end home is mispriced until the market catches up. That's the pressure RCPI is designed to measure." "At the high end, pricing is less about comps and more about clarity. If the market understands the value, the home sells. If it doesn't, it stalls." "An architecturally significant home isn't automatically a liquid one. The market has to understand why the architecture matters, and that's a story the listing has to tell on day one."
