How Bracket Unifies Bids, Auctions, and Traditional Sales w/ Brandon Colombo & Rodes Boyd

Season 5, Episode 9: On this episode of the No Cap Podcast, hosts Jack Stone and Alex Gornik sit down with Brandon Colombo and Rodes Boyd, co-founders of Bracket and sponsors of this season of the podcast. Drawing on their experience in brokerage and marketplace platforms like Ten-X, they break down why traditional CRE transactions remain slow, opaque, and inefficient—and how new digital platforms aim to fix that. Brandon and Rodes explain how Bracket is building a marketplace designed to streamline the entire deal process, from pricing strategy and broker opinions of value to buyer discovery and execution. The conversation explores how technology, better data transparency, and AI-driven underwriting could expand buyer pools, speed up transactions, and change how properties trade across the commercial real estate market.
