**Huge Announcement**
@sharran is joining us as Managing Partner, and President of https://t.co/BvKcvPEfOF.
To explain how big of a deal this is, Iâll cite a recent article⌠âLike Michael Jordan in his prime, heâs stepping away from his president role at a peak moment, having led Real to heights no other brokerage has achieved in such a short time.â
Sharran joins us directly from $REAX - scaling it from $200M to $1B+ Market cap in under 3 years - in one of the worst real estate markets in recent history.
Prior to that - he ran Srilo Capital - his family office that focused on PE, Tech, & Real estate.
Prior to that, he scaled Teles from $300M in volume to $3.4B which he then sold to Douglas Elliman.
He has 5 major exits under his belt. And in between worked at Goldman Sachs and was a pro tennis player for five years.
TLDR: He comes to us with deep tech, finance, public sector, real estate, M&A and operational knowledge.
Heâs really good and really smart at a lot of stuff.
On a personal level: Iâve known Sharran for 6+ years. The first time we spoke was for 4 hours on a random weeknight.
We became instant close friends. Heâs one of the few people I can call with good news, bad news, or for advice.
Weâve partnered on every multi-family real estate purchase Iâve made in the past 5 years (I think?).
In short, Sharran is great. And now, heâs joining ACQ, making ACQ even greater.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU:
Youâll get more âadvanced businessâ content.
Youâll get more visibility into our investing side (Iâve kept this more private, but that will change soon).
Weâll be sharing our deals more publicly.
Weâre starting a Behind Closed Doors podcast for those of you who like the more advanced stuff (think higher level ops, org design, investing, private equity, real estate, alternative assets, etc)
AndâŚwe have a big amazing thing planned that I can't wait to tell you about.
Until then, please join me in welcoming Sharran Srivatsaa to ACQ!

I saw this pic that went viral.
And yeah, I agree... the waiter should âdo better.â
The waiter who posted it shared how he could have seen it and gotten offended or upset.
But instead, he took it to heart.
He showed up the next day determined to be the best employee he could be.
He tried to remember every customerâs name.
Smiled more.
Brought a better attitude.
Then something crazy happenedâŚ
Customers started telling him how great he was.
He got bigger tips.
More compliments.
More energy.
Same job.
Different mindset.
Did he suddenly become passionate?
Or did he realize the work we do works on us... the more we work on it?
Long way of saying:
If we can âdo better,â weâll probably get better outcomes.
Not just this waiter - you, me, all of us.

Either way, itâs your fault.
