A great need arises for commercial real estate clients that is not being met by the national brokerage firms. Many business owners and property investors believe that for the best real estate service and experience, they must seek the assistance of a national brokerage firm.

While this may be the case for a few colossal global clients, the reality is a majority of business owners and property investors in South Florida are better served by more attentive, local and regional real estate expertise. The everything fits in the same box approach of the national firms does not produce the most optimum, specialized and creative real estate solutions and services. What works in California or New York, may not work in South Florida.  Furthermore, many of the national brokerage teams are overstretched and highly conflicted in South Florida leading to the rise of inexperienced brokers working transactions and unrepresented  property tours.
