What separates a real estate company that survives a market shift from one that doesn’t? More often than not, it’s the willingness to pivot.

This month, CREID welcomes Sam Coryell, President of TLC Properties, for an inside look at one of Springfield’s most remarkable multi-family success stories.

Sam will take us back to where TLC began — a 12-unit apartment complex purchased in 1988 as a modest retirement savings plan — and trace the decisions, challenges, and pivots that built it into a 5,000+ unit, multi-state operation with a portfolio approaching half a billion dollars.

At the core of TLC’s story is a business culture built around adaptability. When the market shifts, TLC shifts with it. Sam will share what that actually looks like from the inside — including the leadership and operational decisions that allowed TLC not just to weather difficult markets, but to grow through them.

Whether you are a seasoned investor, a developer, or just getting started in commercial real estate, this session delivers real-world frameworks from someone who has lived them.

Before the meeting, join us for Happy Hour sponsored by Duff Co — Duffey Construction, a Springfield-area general contractor recognized for quality craftsmanship, strong processes, and getting the job done right.

CREID is Springfield’s community for commercial real estate investors, developers, and industry professionals. Attendance is free and open to all. Bring a business partner, a colleague, or someone you have been meaning to connect with the group.

We will see you on June 11^th at 5PM
