I'd like to welcome our listeners to the Boulos Beat Podcast. I'm your host, Greg Boulos. The Boulos Company is Northern New England's largest commercial real estate services firm, with offices in Portland, Maine, as well as Manchester and Portsmouth, New Hampshire. We've been selling and leasing real estate in Maine, New Hampshire, since 1975 This podcast is designed to provide insight into means leaders, its movers, and shakers. And speaking of movers and shakers, I'd like to welcome my colleague, Samantha Marinko. This episode with Sam is designed to gain the perspective of a successful female commercial real estate broker in a field which is dominated by men. Sam joined the Boulder Company in 2016 as a broker, she works in all areas of commercial real estate, including office, retail, industrial, development, and investment properties located in central and southern Maine. In her time with the Boulos Company, Sam has represented clients, including Hannaford Brothers, Abbott Laboratories, the United Way, Spurwink, Maxim Healthcare Staffing, The Holy Donut, I'm Skip, and Aerotek, to name just a few. Her exceptional organization and communication skills add value to her client relationships. Sam is a graduate of Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut, where she earned a BS in media communications with a minor in journalism. She also studied abroad at the University of Notre Dame in Western Australia, Sam is a proud New Jersey native. She moved to Maine in 2010 and currently lives in South Portland with her husband, Drew, and three daughters, Anna, Ella, Lana, plus a fourth girl on the way. Welcome, Sam. Sam, we've got a lot of important questions I want to ask you, but let me start off by asking, if you pinch yourself every morning, realizing you work for me.
Samantha Marinko 01:46
Yes, but probably not in the same way that you mean.
Greg Boulos 01:51
Okay. Well, we've got that. Why don't you tell us a bit about your role at the Boulos Company, and what your day-to-day activities look like?
Samantha Marinko 02:00
It's a simple question, but not a simple answer, because day to day is very different. There's not too much of a routine, because everything depends on what's what balls you have in the air at any given time. What I do at the Bullis Company is I am a broker, and I work primarily with the renowned Greg Boulos. I work with a couple of other brokers as well, including Nate Stevens, assisting on deal transactions, tenant reps, landlord reps. But again, every day is different. It depends on what you have going on at any given time, and that's sort of part of the allure of the industry.
Greg Boulos 02:45
So, you didn't know anything about commercial real estate when you joined the company. How'd you happen to join the company, and what was that learning curve like?
Samantha Marinko 02:54
So, I, I happen to know our former president, Jessica Estes, through her daughter and my niece being friends as little kids, and so that's how I met her, became familiar with the Bullis Company, and she actually recruited me to join as part of the administrative team at the time, and after a couple of months she asked if I'd be interested in getting into the sales side of things as an associate, and I told her no, probably not. I don't see myself in sales because of the image I had in my mind of what that meant, you know. Used car sales is sort of where my brain went, and she said okay. And then she signed me up for my test and sent me my login and password anyway, and and so I took it, and I've been with the company for 10 years now.
Greg Boulos 03:53
You build a successful career in a fast-paced industry. What keeps you motivated?
Samantha Marinko 03:58
That's a great question. I feel like it's multifaceted too, because part of it is internal, you just want to feel good about the day that you had, and the choices that you made, and the progress that you made in deals. Part of it is on a personal level to support your family, part of it is you just really appreciate the clients that you have and you want to make them happy and do good work for them, so I feel like there's a lot of different components and layers to, you know, how a day looks successful.
Greg Boulos 04:34
So three years into your brokerage career, you had the opportunity to become a full-time broker, but you chose to remain in your current role as my associate. Why did you make that decision?
Samantha Marinko 04:46
Yeah, so that was sort of a strategic decision, because I knew that balancing my personal life and still having a fulfilling career. I was going to take a unique position, something that the Bullis Company didn't really have, but I was lucky enough that they were willing to work with me on sort of creating this new role, so that I could still have all of the exposure and opportunities that come from the sales role, while still having a little bit of the security, whilst building my family and being able to really find a good balance between the two,
Greg Boulos 05:26
and it's worked for you,
Samantha Marinko 05:27
it's worked for me. Yeah, again, now I've been doing this for been with Bullis for 10 years, and I feel like the opportunity to kind of craft this position that works so well for a working parent that still really has some serious career aspirations has been afforded to me and has worked very, very nicely.
Greg Boulos 05:55
Recently, I had to explain to you what the term eyewash in commercial real estate means I think this is probably just another example of the master teaching the student, and just wondering what you think.
Samantha Marinko 06:08
Yeah, well, if you Google that and you put in, what does eyewash mean, my definition is actually accurate. If you put in what does eyewash mean to somebody that was born before 1975 you'll find something that aligns more with what your definition of eyewash is, so I think the lesson I learned there is sometimes folks of a certain age interpret language differently.
Greg Boulos 06:34
Okay, tell us, tell us about some of the boards you've been involved with how has the community involvement helped you with your career?
Samantha Marinko 06:45
Yeah, so I am currently the vice president of the nonprofit Portland Ballet. I am going to be an OLA again, Olympia leader advisor for the Olympia Snow Foundation for the second time, and I am also on the development committee for Spurwink. So, being involved with all of these nonprofits is one of the best parts of the job, really. A lot of these people have been clients, a lot of them have introduced me to other clients, but the best part is sort of being able to see the fruit of the labor when you help a client that is of, you know, a nonprofit status find a space that's probably my, my favorite type of client to work with.
Greg Boulos 07:37
They're appreciative,
Samantha Marinko 07:38
they're appreciative, they're, they're good people, the people that are in that industry. They're a pleasure to work with. So, yeah, I think I think the community involvement has led to some of those opportunities, which is great from a career standpoint, but also just very fulfilling.
Greg Boulos 07:56
We both know commercial real estate is still largely male dominated. What challenges have you experienced as a woman in commercial real estate?
Samantha Marinko 08:05
I think part of the challenges has to do with age and gender, both, and then together it's doubly impactful, I think. I think younger brokers, in general, are perceived as having a lack of experience, because we do, in fact, have less experience than the people that have been doing this for decades, but part of it is certainly a gender perception as well. I think women are often thought of as less aggressive, and sometimes people want, you know, they'll say, like the bulldog, or you know, something like that, they want that dog in their fight, but women also tend to be more tactful, and so I think that I think that there is definitely a perception that we may be gentler in our negotiations, but the perception of gentle and the tact behind it are, you know, sometimes we're just a little bit more what we do a lot of our work behind the scenes,
Greg Boulos 09:12
and you're very effective, so it must be working.
Samantha Marinko 09:15
Yeah, I think that the clients that I work with don't, don't have the perceptions that perhaps existed more a decade or two ago, it's still very male dominated. Some people appreciate working with a woman specifically. So, there are there are opportunities. There are always going to be boundaries, but there are opportunities.
Greg Boulos 09:38
So, because there are fewer women in commercial real estate brokerage. Is there a special camaraderie among women brokers in the market?
Samantha Marinko 09:46
Yeah, I think so. I think there are so few of us. We all know each other. We all understand the challenges that we all face. Many of us have children, not all of us, but. So that's sort of a separate layer to all of this, because in addition to having a full-time career that you take very seriously and is time sensitive in most cases, you're also the default parent most of the time, and so no matter how involved your husband may be when you have a sick kid at school, they're going to call you first, so I think that we, the women in commercial real estate, all have sort of an understanding of what the other is generally going through at a given time, and there is certainly a camaraderie there.
Greg Boulos 10:33
Sam, you look very young, certainly younger than you are, which is a great thing, but has that ever impacted how clients perceive and interact with you?
Samantha Marinko 10:43
Yeah, I think. I think that, particularly the folks that have been in the industry for a long time, see people that look at, talk more like themselves as somebody that's maybe a bit more capable, and so I may not get called back as quickly as you, who has the name Greg Boulos, and you know, gray hair, but, but I will also be sought out for other reasons, you know. People, people have seen on my bio that I'm from New Jersey, and they'll be from the tri-state area, and they'll call me for that reason, or they'll see that I have kids, or they'll see I worked with a specific nonprofit, and I'll get calls for those reasons. But yeah, I think age, or the perception of being a certain age, I think it does have its own limitations that can only be overcome if you are given the opportunity to prove yourself.
Greg Boulos 11:49
When you started in brokerage, didn't I buy you a flashlight and a taser or something?
Samantha Marinko 11:56
Yeah, you bought me a mag light and you told me to put it under my passenger seat, and just so I could pull it out quickly if needed, and you bought me mace,
Greg Boulos 12:08
and I bought that for you, because you're a woman, and sometimes you're shown, for example, a warehouse space, it's dark, it's big, and you're meeting somebody you've never met before, probably a male, and have you ever had to use that, or ever had a kind of a scary experience?
Samantha Marinko 12:24
I've never had to use them. I've had a couple of uncomfortable experiences, but I wouldn't say any that I ever felt like I was actually in any real danger. I have had brokers from other companies, you know, shoot me a text or a call after a showing with, you know, a particularly if they had a strange feeling about somebody that would just say, hey, you want me to stick around in the parking lot, you know, till you guys are out of there, which I thought was very thoughtful, but I've not had the need, although I appreciate the sentiment, because it's something that we do have to think about. When I first joined the Boulos company, we actually had a self-defense class that was arranged for the women at the company, and it's not something that the men at the company ever have to consider, but we, the Boulos, put it together for us, and we went out to a fitness studio and took a self-defense class.
Greg Boulos 13:25
What was the uncomfortable situation you experienced?
Samantha Marinko 13:28
It was, it was just a client that was trying to get me to sit in his car with him after a showing to discuss something, and when I declined, he got a bit upset, and this was this was probably my first year, maybe even my first six months of brokerage. I think I handled it fine. I think I would have handled it much better now, because I was trying very hard to be polite, and what experience has taught me is that's not a requirement.
Greg Boulos 14:10
What does work flexibility look like for you as a broker in commercial real estate?
Samantha Marinko 14:19
So I think flexibility varies based on the priorities at a given time. There will be weeks where I am up until 11 o'clock every single night because I want to pick my kids up at 330 and hang out with them until they go to bed, and so I'm making up those hours after they're asleep, but that's not the norm. There are so many opportunities in an industry like real estate, where you can balance your time, as long as you manage it well. You can wake up early, you can get some emails done, and then you can make your kids breakfast when they're ready for school, so it's about. Finding balance, I think it was hardest when I just had one, honestly, because there was a little bit more guilt involved, but then you find a way, and I think I almost have it down to a science now.
Greg Boulos 15:11
So, you don't have any guilt about neglecting your children.
Samantha Marinko 15:14
I think my kids are the farthest thing from neglected. I think the only thing I neglect is my sleep.
Greg Boulos 15:22
Has the bonus company supported you as a professional with three soon to be four girls?
Samantha Marinko 15:26
Yeah, I have no qualms about saying it is a snow day today. My kids' school is closed. I can't make it in. I'm going to work as much as I can while I'm wrangling all these kiddos at home, you know, and I'll catch up tomorrow, or I'll catch up tonight, and there is all of the understanding in the world.
Greg Boulos 15:46
Yeah, I think, especially after Covid, working from home is more accepted. Yeah, and especially if you have a situation where there's a snow day,
Samantha Marinko 15:54
yeah, yeah, and the capabilities are very much the same as well, just with all of the technology that we're provided, and we've got a good system going at Boulos, where we have everything we need, you know, in our, in our phones most of the time.
Greg Boulos 16:09
And how did your becoming a mother shift your perspective on work priorities, or what is defined as success for you?
Samantha Marinko 16:18
So, from a work priority standpoint, I used to go to every single networking event I could, and I think that it was very important that I did that in my mid 20s, late 20s, early 30s. As far as priorities go, I don't have the time to do that anymore. Most of my networking events are during the business day, they still happen, but they are. I'm selective as to what I do, and I'll still attend things for specific clients after hours, but my priorities have shifted. Now, when I'm not working, I am focused on my family, but I see that as a productive balance, because when I am working, I am so very focused, because I know that when those kids' school bell rings and I'm going to pick them up, I have to turn it off for those couple of hours where I'm focused on them, so I think it sort of like amplifies your ability to be productive when you're focused on just work or just family,
Greg Boulos 17:27
and can you shut off the kids when you're trying to keep them out of your thought process?
Samantha Marinko 17:34
Yeah, and I don't know if that is is a is a me specific thing or if that's just something that working parents learn to do, but I, I just happen to be very good at compartmentalizing, so I can be very focused on my work day.
Greg Boulos 17:51
Was there a moment when you realized you had to approach work differently after having kids?
Samantha Marinko 17:58
I think I I've always appreciated the role that I have at the Boulos Company. They've created opportunities for me to be able to work around my personal life, my family life. So I think there's a loyalty that I feel, and it sort of gives me the motivation to stay focused, and so I hadn't, I don't feel like having kids required me to shift anything but priorities,
Greg Boulos 18:41
so we talked a little bit about this, but work-life balance, you know, that's a term you hear quite a bit. Some of us have it, some of us don't, but you seem to have it, and I'm wondering, realistically, what does that look for you, look like for you right now?
Samantha Marinko 18:56
Yeah, I think it is. It is really easy to talk about. It is, you have to be very intentional about it, but, and I also, this is such a cliche, but it's like mind over matter. If you, you can, you can, you can find this balance, you can strike it, anybody can. It's just a matter of, you know, understanding your roles really, really well, and I understand what needs to be done before I end my day, and if something doesn't get done, I am comfortable hopping on the computer until 10 o'clock at night, you know, I think there's just a.. there's a.. you need to understand your role, you need to understand your capacity, and if you do, then finding the balance isn't that difficult.
Greg Boulos 19:47
And how did your husband play into all this? Does he do anything?
Samantha Marinko 19:50
He's around. No, he's great. He's.. it's funny, he's.. he's probably one of the more hands on. Fathers that I know, and it's also very generational, because my mom will say, I can't believe how involved he is in all of these things he's doing, which is very true. He is very involved for a father, absolutely. But we, I have a story that I've told to some people, he, he goes on a lot of walks with our kids. He takes them out of the house a lot, most of the time when we're in the house, I'm with them, but he goes out with them a lot. And so I had a neighbor come up to me when I was with all three of my kids on a walk outside, and she said, "Wow, I see your husband out here all the time with all the girls, and he is just like super dad the way he does it. Meanwhile, I'm doing that exact thing in this moment that she's saying this to me, but she's telling me how impressive it is that he can take all three kids out, and there I am with all three of them. So it's funny, I think it's again he, he is more hands on than just about any man I know, but there's still such a perception of a working man versus a working woman.
Greg Boulos 21:14
Have you had to get more comfortable saying no, either at work or at home?
Samantha Marinko 21:19
Yep,
Samantha Marinko 21:20
yeah, absolutely, and I, that was something that was already starting before I had kids. I was just sort of, as you grow up and you shift your priorities, and you know, you don't want to go to something that starts at 9o'clock at night because you know that the next day you pay for it, you know that that shift was already happening, so I won't say it was entirely because I had kids, but yeah, I think I am extremely comfortable saying no, whether it is a, you know, a work task that doesn't align with what I'm working on, or doesn't make sense, or a networking event that there probably won't be much benefit for me, in particular, or if it's a family or friend or party for my kids, that it would just be a stretch to get to. I'm very comfortable saying no.
Greg Boulos 22:13
I've noticed that most of our conversations start off with you saying no.
Samantha Marinko 22:16
I've got to set expectations.
Greg Boulos 22:20
What do you wish most bosses understood about working mothers?
Samantha Marinko 22:25
I think working moms probably have one of the best motivations to work hard and to show up, and they need flexibility because they have to prioritize, but if you give them the ability to be flexible and prioritize what they need to do and when they need to do it, the appreciation and loyalty they'll have, again, just like Boulos, I've sort of created a position that didn't exist because I wanted to stick around and Boulos saw value in keeping me, so they worked with me to create this, this role, and there's such an appreciation that I have that I want to do the best work I can because of that, and I think that if other bosses saw that and could be less stringent about certain things, like being in at 8am or whatever it is. If your kids get dropped off at 815 and you have to be here at 845 they're going to work so hard to prove that you made the right decision in giving them that afforded flexibility.
Greg Boulos 23:40
After you had your third child, I suggested it might be a good idea if you, your husband Drew, and I sat down and discussed whether a fourth child would be a good thing, and how it might affect me. You didn't do that. Why?
Samantha Marinko 23:52
Well, for you knew you knew four was always on the table, but also when Drew and I had a conversation about that, we decided that factoring in my work child would be an unusual decision,
Greg Boulos 24:12
and who was that?
Samantha Marinko 24:13
That would be you.
Greg Boulos 24:14
Okay,
Samantha Marinko 24:14
some people have a work husband, I have a work toddler.
Greg Boulos 24:19
What is what is your definition of success, both personally and professionally?
Samantha Marinko 24:25
I don't know that I've defined it to myself before, but I think I think feeling good about what you did at the end of the day, you know, feeling like a good parent, feeling like I did the job I was meant to do at work, I think that's success, and it's usually in small affirmations. It's not, you know, necessarily like you close the biggest deal of, you know, the year that day, although that helps, but sometimes it's just an email of appreciation from a client saying, "Hey, thanks for getting back to me with that information, or. Thanks for looking into this, or thanks for sharing this opportunity, and you know, my kids not crying at bedtime helps too, but I don't think there's a definition of success. It's more of a feeling of success. If you feel good at the end of the day, you feel like you, you did what you were supposed to do, what you did at your best. I think that's
Greg Boulos 25:18
doesn't sound like you carry a lot of guilt.
Samantha Marinko 25:20
No, I don't. I don't carry a lot of guilt, honestly. I think I, I do if I, if I mess up, but I'm also pretty good about taking ownership, and that helps offset the guilt, you know. I'll apologize even to my kids when I overreact or something, and I think I think that goes a long way.
Greg Boulos 25:45
What advice would you give women in commercial real estate who are thinking about starting a family? Don't do
Samantha Marinko 25:52
it, do it, and have siblings quickly, because they are the best entertainment. No, I honestly, I. there is absolutely a way to strike a balance. The company you work for is going to play a big role in that. If you find the right people that appreciate you, having kids is probably only going to increase your value, because you have more motivation to work hard. You know, you want to close a big deal and bring home that paycheck, so you can send your kid to ballet lessons, or you know, whatever it is. I think I think working parents have a motivation that is very unique
Greg Boulos 26:33
when you look ahead. What do you hope your kids learn from watching you work?
Samantha Marinko 26:40
I try not to let them watch me work. I, I try to be as separate in my work and my parenting as I can. I don't talk about work too much with them. There are, we have early meetings on Tuesday mornings, and I'm gone when they wake up in the morning, and so that's sort of like their reference to me working is, you know, I had my early work day, but I try to keep it very separate. I want them to know that you can have like boundaries and things don't need to like leak into it, you know. I'm not going to take work calls in front of them, unless again, if it's a snow day or an unusual situation, I will, but I try to keep them very separate. I want them to sort of enjoy the mom and not so much the broker version of me,
Greg Boulos 27:36
because you've got a really good work ethic, and I would think that that would be something your kids could learn from,
Samantha Marinko 27:43
I think, as they get older. My oldest is five, so she.. I think I'm trying to sort of keep the innocence of childhood alive as long as possible, make her think there's always a summer vacation. As she gets older, I think that that will shift, and what I show them of my work life will change, and I hope things like work ethic and responsibility, time management, I think all of those will be lessons that I will hope to teach them. We're just not there yet.
Greg Boulos 28:18
So, last question for you, Sam, where do you see yourself in five or 10 years? You're gonna still be a Boulos, are you gonna have 10 kids?
Samantha Marinko 28:27
Not,
Speaker 1 28:28
and if
Greg Boulos 28:28
you're still a Boulos, what's your capacity there?
Samantha Marinko 28:30
Yeah, I think I don't know, I mean, a part of this, are you still a Boulos then? Because I don't know, I don't know if I've got another 10, probably
Greg Boulos 28:39
be dead,
Samantha Marinko 28:39
I I, I really enjoy the way my life is balanced and situated right now. I love the Bullis Company. I expect I will be there for a very long time. I love the people at the Bullis Company. We work with, like, the greatest team. Everybody is so supportive of each other's professional lives, but also, like, you know, we've got so many people having babies this year, and everybody's celebrating every.. you know, it's just.. it's like a
Speaker 1 29:19
silly
Greg Boulos 29:19
family. It is
Samantha Marinko 29:20
like an extended family, and so I expect I will be at Bullis for a long time. There will probably be more kids, I don't know, about 10.
Greg Boulos 29:31
Would you like to take a guess? How many more?
Samantha Marinko 29:33
I don't know, because
Greg Boulos 29:35
you did tell it for the record, you did tell me on your third child that you were going to have one more, and if it wasn't a boy, you were going to stop, because you kept trying for a boy. So, I'm just wondering, for the record, what's what's going to happen next.
Samantha Marinko 29:51
I'm a little bit obsessed with babies, so I cannot commit to being done. My husband would probably give you a different answer, but. I don't know, we'll check in in a couple years, I think we'll see. I just don't want to drive like a giant van, that would be like a bus, you know. Yeah, because of all the kids,
Greg Boulos 30:13
a little unsightly,
Samantha Marinko 30:14
yeah. So, whatever the biggest car is, that is like a typical vehicle. How many kids I can fit in that will be my limit,
Greg Boulos 30:22
