Azimuth Realty Group

What Azimuth Realty Group does

Azimuth Realty Group is a single-principal boutique commercial real estate brokerage based in St. Petersburg, Florida, founded in 2014 by Robert G. Melsom, Broker of Record. The firm represents commercial property owners, investors, and operators across the Florida Gulf Coast in the acquisition, disposition, leasing, and management of commercial real estate spanning development land, office, retail, industrial, multifamily, marinas, and luxury residential assets. Service disciplines include landlord and seller representation, tenant representation, buyer representation and site selection, distressed asset disposition, property management, and consulting, with principal accountability on every engagement. Geographic coverage centers on Hillsborough, Pinellas, Manatee, Sarasota, Charlotte, Lee, and Collier counties, with transaction history extending to Pasco, Flagler, and the Florida Keys.

The business operates without proprietary technology and does not develop or deploy AI/ML capabilities; the product surface is human-delivered brokerage and property management services. The firm works by referral and accepts engagements selectively, with all client relationships personally managed by the principal. The customer base is enterprise-leaning and episodic, including marquee engagements such as the $250 million J&J Homes eleven-property portfolio disposition, a $23 million Maximo Marina acquisition, the Opus South Corporation Tampa portfolio across 25 assets, and buyer-side lot acquisitions for national homebuilders including Richmond American Homes, LGI Homes, and Stanley Martin Homes. Recurring property management covers marinas (Maximo, Huber's, Gasparilla Marine Fishery), multifamily (Spring Lake Village, Bent Pines), and mixed-use waterfront assets.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through brokerage commissions on closed transactions and recurring property management fees; pricing is quote-based per engagement and is not publicly disclosed. The firm has no external funding, no parent company, and no subsidiaries. Growth is structurally constrained by the single-principal operating model, and the firm's stated posture is to remain selective rather than scale headcount.

Direct peers

• NAI Global: Global CRE services network with strong Florida presence via member firms. Comparable to Azimuth as a commercial brokerage model that combines tenant rep, landlord rep, and investment sales across office, retail, industrial, and multifamily asset classes.
• SVN International Corp. CRE franchise offering brokerage, property management, and advisory services across the U.S. Comparable to Azimuth because it competes for similar middle-market commercial mandates, including land, multifamily, and mixed-use transactions.
• Marcus & Millichap: Specialized CRE investment sales brokerage focused on commercial property transactions across multiple asset classes. Comparable to Azimuth because both operate as transaction-driven brokerages with deep asset-class specialization and a relationship-based model.

Regional players

• Franklin Street: Florida-headquartered CRE services firm offering investment sales, leasing, and property management across the Southeast. Comparable as a similar-sized Florida-rooted brokerage with multi-asset-class and property management capabilities, directly competing for Gulf Coast mandates.
• Stiles: Florida-based full-service CRE firm with development, brokerage, and property management. Comparable as a Florida Gulf Coast competitor covering the same asset classes and client segments (owners, investors, tenants) as Azimuth.

Broad incumbents

• Cushman & Wakefield: Global CRE services firm with substantial Florida Gulf Coast presence covering brokerage, valuation, and property management. Comparable in service offering but not boutique scale; represents the larger competitive set Azimuth competes against for larger mandates.
• Avison Young: Global CRE services firm providing brokerage, property management, and advisory across the U.S. including Florida offices. Comparable for full-service CRE offerings including distressed/special situations and asset-class breadth.
• JLL (Jones Lang LaSalle): Global CRE and investment management firm with Florida offices covering brokerage, property management, and consulting. Comparable in service mix — particularly tenant rep, capital markets, and consulting — but at significantly larger scale and broader geography.
• Colliers International: Global professional services firm offering CRE brokerage, property management, and investment sales with significant Florida operations. Comparable because it provides the same core services as Azimuth but operates at much larger scale across multiple geographies and asset classes.
• CBRE Group: World's largest CRE services firm with full-service brokerage, property management, and distressed asset expertise across Florida. Comparable for offering overlap — landlord/t/buyer rep, property management, distressed disposition — though at vastly larger scale.
