Bio
Working with real estate investors and brokering businesses is Chuck’s forte. Finding and matching buyers with the correct property to meet their unique needs is an approach Chuck has had great success with, including finding off-market properties and businesses to complete transactions. This approach has also benefited sellers and has often resulted in multiple offers on the same property or business. A significant strength of Chuck’s marketing approach is developing strategies and solutions that increase property valuations to the benefit of the property owner. Marketing plans are tailored to the individual seller and can involve finding an off-market buyer, or deploying the full marketing capabilities of LandQwest Commercial and national commercial multiple listing services. The individual marketing plan will include but not be limited to: • Confidential meetings • Valuation consulting using Comparative Sales databases • Proven Marketing Plans • Comprehensive Marketing Packages • Buyer qualification Chuck’s qualifications exceed that of the average commercial real estate agent in that he has completed extensive training to obtain designation as a Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) and is a member of the International Business Brokers Association (IBBA). Currently, Chuck specializes in investment properties and businesses in Florida. Chuck’s business focus is on selling veterinary, medical, and dental practices including both businesses and real estate. Working closely with clients to understand their goals allows Chuck to develop and execute a plan tailored to their individual needs. A commitment to exceptional client service has enabled Chuck to cultivate a large client base of real estate trusts, private equity groups, developers, private investors, and small business owners who rely on Chuck to identify and evaluate commercial real estate opportunities. A native of Fort Myers, Florida, Chuck has a comprehensive knowledge of the South Florida business community and uses this market knowledge to provide clients with the information they need to make informed decisions.
