One Part Electronica and One Part Legal

October 24, 2022 • Andrew Wendt and Karen Sandvoss of Be Realty • Episode 13

From humble beginnings as a folding table under a tree at Lollapalooza, electronica has hit the mainstream. Our guest today, Marc Cervantes (real estate attorney extraordinaire), has seen the genre explode like a laser and confetti fueled drop at a sold out United Center show. Top DJ’s today make $60M a year and would not be if it weren’t for the efforts of Frankie Knuckles and the Detroit creators of Techno. We discuss all things electronica, the art of the transaction, and some specifics about Chicago real estate with Marc. Listen in...
