Medtail and Tenant Rep National Brokerage with Willie Hoag of Tether Advisors

In this episode of Real Estate for Breakfast, host Phil Coover and his frequent co-host Jay Augustyn are joined by Willie Hoag, Principal and Co-Founder of Tether Advisors, a real estate advisory company founded in August 2020 during the tumult of the global pandemic. Tether Advisors works with high-growth businesses to help them achieve national reach and alternatively with developers, REITs and private equity to help them find stable tenants and businesses with strong futures. Tether links brands, developers and private equity to physical locations that fit perfectly in the lives of customers. Tether also focuses on “medtail” – the initiative by medical service providers to bring prevention and wellness services to underserved areas via brick and mortar facilities located in shopping centers and other historically retail-focused properties. During the podcast, Willie discusses his background and what led to the creation of Tether Advisors. Willie shared his insight into the changing real estate model with landlords exploring opportunities outside traditional retail and how he can focus on building value for his clients. Willie encourages the Tether team to embrace a long-term approach to client services and to remain keenly aware of trends and technology that will augment or disrupt the businesses that Tether serves. Willie developed his consultative acumen at Mid-America for more than 15 years, where he was a Partner and Director of Tenant Representation for the leading full-service retail real estate firm in the Midwest. In that capacity, Willie educated developers on the benefits of medtail brands, bringing change and success in a space that had long-held misconceptions and stigmas.At Tether, Willie facilitates the expansion needs and real estate challenges of a dozen tenants throughout the Midwest and nationally. His many national relationships transcend verticals and foster his true passions: solving problems and refining brands, linking experts to the obstacles they may uniquely solve.
