The Kansas City Real Estate Podcast

In our most recent podcast episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Mason Gates, Associate at Matthews REIS, and a specialist in the Self-Storage commercial real estate industry. Mason, who hails from Kansas City, Missouri, and holds a Finance degree from Arizona State University, shared his extensive knowledge about the Self Storage commercial real estate sector. Mason provided valuable insights into the world of commercial real estate, focusing specifically on the growing industry of self-storage facilities. His expert advice and deep understanding of the market dynamics were both enlightening and inspiring. One of the highlights of the conversation was when our host Joe expressed his interest in venturing into the self storage real estate sector. This opened up a possibility for future collaborations between Kansas City real estate agent, Joe Stephenson and Mason, potentially benefitting both parties.
