The Art of the Exit: What 30 Years in Asset Disposition Teaches You About Moving Deals

In this episode of the Think Realty Podcast, host Scott Ward sits down with Glenn Brooks — President of Genstone Asset Disposition — for a candid conversation about the part of the deal most investors underestimate: the exit.

With more than 30 years in asset disposition, Glenn brings a front-line view of how assets actually move — how deals get positioned, what separates a clean exit from one that stalls, and where experienced capital is looking next in today’s market.

Together, Scott and Glenn dig into what really drives a smooth disposition, why the exit strategy should be built before the deal is ever closed, and how decades of dealmaking sharpen the instincts that no spreadsheet can teach.

Whether you’re a real estate investor planning your next exit, an operator managing a portfolio, or a business owner trying to understand how capital and assets move at scale — this episode is a masterclass in disposition done right.
