In this episode of SF Commercial Property Conversations, Bruce Bean sits down with Wanda Henry, a seasoned real estate broker and investor whose journey from Cleveland to California is nothing short of inspiring.

Wanda shares how her early start in banking led her into the world of real estate, where she grew from teller to broker, managing a firm of 30 agents and flipping properties throughout California. She opens up about her current focus on land development, buying and selling in emerging markets like Bakersfield and West Tennessee, and how she evaluates properties for investment.

From analyzing flips to owning 20 acres in California, Wanda breaks down her strategies and drops key insights for anyone interested in real estate or property investment.

She also shares a fun personal story about reconnecting with her third husband after decades apart—and their shared love of concerts and good food (hint: pastrami fans, unite!).
