Bio
Michelle Matson joined SVN Commercial Partners as a Retail Site and Tract Specialist, where she specializes in retail sites from the seller/landlord side and buyer/tenant side. She also specializes in tenant representation and site selection for national and regional retailers. Relevant expertise includes land tracts ranging from single parcels to large-scale mixed-use, grocery-anchored developments, working with one of the largest national QSR’s and several other retail tenants. As a Senior Advisor, Ms. Matson has contributed to entitlement, highest and best use analysis, and feasibility in strategically positioning assets for sale or lease. As a result of working in the retail space, Ms. Matson has extensive experience in both the sale and lease of land, build-to-suit, and traditional lease opportunities. Michelle works with investors, site developers, and retailers on a local, regional, and national level in site selection, providing them with a full-service analysis of each potential site, negotiations, due diligence, and the closing process. In the marketing component, Matson transacts with a myriad of end-users that include retail, restaurant, and grocery tenants for her clients. These clients include local business owners, as well as regional and national retailers. Additionally, Michelle works with landlords to understand the highest and best use and potential tenant for each space within a property. She targets these tenants with a multi-pronged marketing approach. She has been involved with several retail and mixed-use sites throughout Florida as well as office and industrial spaces throughout SWFL. She brings 18+ years of sales and marketing knowledge with her to bring these properties to market in the most effective and efficient formats. Utilizing her resources and vast network of contacts, Michelle assembles a team to get the job done, having recently brought in a Commercial Development Advisory firm to one of the Master Planned Development Projects, for a deep analysis of the market area and in turn has added a large grocer to the project. Michelle grew up in Braintree, Massachusetts, where she graduated with an English degree from UMass Boston and a Business Management degree from Johnson and Wales University. Michelle is a member of the ICSC. Michelle is a Board Member for the Humane Society of Sarasota County. Michelle and her husband enjoy playing with two of their own rescue pups, as well as kayaking, hiking, and biking in their free time.
