A commercial real estate broker who treats your capital like her own
Office space and retail for lease, commercial property for sale, and small mixed-use, negotiated with the same honesty I bring to a family's home.
Calls returned within 1 hour. Texts, usually minutes.
Your business. Your capital. Your side of the table.
A commercial decision is a business decision. The right space at the wrong terms can cost you a year of profit, and the wrong space at any terms can cost you customers.
As your commercial real estate broker, I work only for you. On a lease that is tenant representation done right: I tour the options, pull the market context, and negotiate the rate, the rent bumps, the common-area charges, the build-out allowance, and the exit. On a commercial property for sale it means price, condition, zoning, and use, all checked before you are committed.
Buying the building as an investment rather than for your own business? Then you want the numbers-first approach on my investor services page. Selling a home to free up capital first? That is my selling page.
The lease that looked cheap.
A low headline rate is the oldest trick in commercial leasing. The escalations, the pass-through charges, and a long personal guarantee can turn a bargain into the most expensive line on your P&L.
My job is to read the whole document and translate it into plain English before you sign. What does this actually cost in year three? What happens if the business grows, or if it does not?
I would rather talk you out of a shiny space than watch it strangle your cash flow. That is the reputation I have built, one referral at a time.
The commercial work I do well, and the work I refer.
Clear scope is part of good representation. Here is where I add real value, and where I will point you to a specialist instead.
| Property type | How I help |
|---|---|
| Office & professional suites | Leasing and purchase for practices, agencies, and growing local firms. |
| Retail & storefront | Space selection with an eye on foot traffic, parking, signage, and permitted use. |
| Small mixed-use & multi-tenant | Buildings that pair a business with income units, underwritten before you offer. |
| Large industrial & institutional | Outside my lane. I connect you with a specialist and stay involved as your advocate. |
Not sure which category your idea falls into? That is a normal place to start. Tell me the business goal and I will tell you honestly whether I am the right agent for it, or who is.
Questions business owners ask me first.
What does a commercial real estate agent do?
A commercial real estate agent represents you when you buy, lease, rent, or sell commercial property: office space, retail, or a small mixed-use building. In practice that means finding the right spaces, reading the market, and negotiating the deal in your favor. When I represent you, I work only for your side, and I am just as candid about a bad space as I am about a good one.
What is the 2% rule in commercial real estate?
The 2% rule is an investor rule of thumb: some buyers only consider a property if its monthly rent is at least 2 percent of the purchase price. It is a quick screen, not a law, and in a market like South Florida it rarely holds on quality assets. I do not lean on shortcuts like it. I run the real rent, the real carrying costs, and the real numbers on the specific building before you offer.
Do you handle commercial leases as well as purchases?
Yes. Plenty of my commercial clients lease first and buy later, and I represent you on both. On a lease I read the whole document, not just the rate: the escalations, the CAM charges, the build-out allowance, the personal guarantee, and the renewal options. Those clauses decide whether office space or retail helps your business or quietly drains it.
Can I use a 1031 exchange to move into commercial property?
Often, yes. A 1031 exchange lets you defer capital gains by rolling the proceeds of one investment property into another like-kind property, and residential-to-commercial can qualify. The timelines are strict, so we plan the replacement search before your sale closes and coordinate with your qualified intermediary and tax advisor. I handle the property side and keep the clock honest.
Have a space, a lease, or a deal in mind?
Tell me what your business needs. You will hear back fast, in English or Spanish, and we will pressure-test the numbers before you commit.
