Bio
Jeff has been providing commercial real estate brokerage services since 2012, after moving to Fort Myers from Northern Minnesota. Early on in this career path he earned his CRE wings helping small businesses obtain the location and space needed as owner/occupants, quite often for their first time as tenants or buyers. This track record has helped him gain the trust and confidence of large investors and landlords for acquisition and leasing of assets, and for eventual disposition to achieve optimum return on investment. Deals have ranged from $25,000 to $10MM, and have earned him the CCIM designation, along with its additional education and extensive testing requirements.
Jeff welcomes challenging projects that involve distressed properties, quite often leading to a repurposed use. He limits his time and energy to a select portfolio of clients and assignments in order to provide hands-on involvement in all details and issues. Supported by a team of marketing specialists, clients can expect superior performance for time-sensitive engagements.
Jeff originates from the Midwest, learning a small business work-ethic from his parents who were first farmers and later small business owners. After attending college Jeff went to work for Sears Roebuck, working his way up from unloading trucks at a distribution center to national director of distribution systems, headquartered at the Sears Tower in Chicago. After 21 years in the corporate world, Jeff moved to Clearwater, Florida as a partner in a new retail systems and consulting enterprise that served major corporations in the USA, Europe and Asia.
Jeff was also one of the principals in a family enterprise that provided custom millwork using reclaimed barnwood. After having suffered enough from the bitter and frigid winters of Minnesota, he decided to go back to Florida and enter the world of commercial real estate.
