We're on summer break, but the vault is still wide open.

This week's Vacay Replay brings back one of our favorite conversations with Shawn Herzog, Senior Vice President of Facility Maintenance at NAI FMA Realty.

From the days of green maintenance uniforms and pneumatic HVAC systems to today's smart buildings that practically text you before something breaks, Shawn walks us through how commercial building maintenance has changed over the past 35+ years.

Mike and Marc also dive into:

• Why preventative maintenance saves owners thousands
• How technology is transforming commercial buildings
• The surprising cost of ignoring HVAC systems
• Why skilled trades are more valuable than ever
• The teamwork between leasing, property management, and maintenance that keeps buildings—and tenants—happy

As always, there are plenty of laughs, a few questionable fashion memories, and even a discussion about Legionella that somehow ends with a Las Vegas buffet joke.

Whether you're a property owner, tenant, facilities professional, or just curious what goes on behind the scenes of commercial real estate, this episode is packed with practical insights and entertaining stories.
