Past Transactions

We’ve summarized a number of transactions that are shown below and were closed over the past decade or more that total nearly $½ Billion in sales-whew!

Several of these transactions were quite complicated and were recognized by our commercial Realtor organization (FGCAR) as the “Land Deal of the Year” for the year they were completed.

The criteria for the judging includes service beyond the call of duty to the client as well as demonstrating outstanding professional services, experience, and dedication to meeting the client’s goals.

One of the award winning sales for “Land Deal of the Year” was for an office parcel in Tampa that required a lot of negotiations between parties that couldn’t meet during the day and didn’t much care for each other so we had to be the “oil on troubled waters” solution. In the final analysis, the buyer was short a few dollars to close and when we listened to what he was saying, we proposed that we take a note for 1 year for a portion of the commission. This made the transaction work and we were able to earn interest and collect the fee in full.

Another difficult land sale that was recognized for a “Land Deal of the Year” involved the sale of a downtown parcel that could easily have been developed for office, hotel, or condominiums but the City wanted it to add to their waterfront parks system (only problem was that the City didn’t have the allocated funds for a purchase of over $8,000,000!). The solution- we brought in the Trust for Public Lands (TPL) who assisted the City in funding the acquisition. The results today are a nice 1.5 acre park added to the City waterfront, a happy seller, and a paid broker!
