Florida Commercial Advisors

What Florida Commercial Advisors does

Florida Commercial Advisors is a two-person commercial real estate and business brokerage practice operating as the licensed real estate practice of Dougall McCorkle and Darren McCorkle under Premier Commercial, Inc., a Florida licensed real estate broker. Founded in its current form in 2012, the firm offers buyer and seller representation, tenant representation, project leasing, landlord representation, and business brokerage/M&A advisory, with specialization in 1031 exchanges, single-tenant NNN properties, and commercial property transactions in retail, office, and industrial segments. The practice is headquartered at 4300 Gulf Shore Boulevard North in Naples, Florida, and concentrates on Southwest Florida with a secondary nationwide reach through the United Flea Markets representation.

The firm's core product is brokerage services, with revenue generated entirely through transaction fees on CRE deals and business sales. There is no proprietary technology platform; the value proposition rests on the principals' experience — Dougall McCorkle has nearly 40 years of CRE experience including a 28-year tenure as SVP of Commercial Development at Lutgert Companies, an MBA from the University of Chicago, and over 1,000 career transactions, while Darren McCorkle holds a Florida broker's license and leads project leasing and tenant representation. The team has earned the CoStar Power Broker award almost every year for the past decade, including 2020 with transaction volume exceeding $60 million.

The business model is relationship-driven and direct: clients ranging from individual investors to national chains engage the firm via phone, email, or in-person meeting, with deal flow supplemented by an active blog, LoopNet listings, and Constant Contact newsletters. Pricing is negotiated transaction-by-transaction. Notable transactions include Fifth Third Center ($50M), Naples Grande Golf Club ($36M), Walgreens ($5.7M), and a long-term buyer representation role for United Flea Markets covering a $300M, 15-market portfolio. The firm has a strategic alliance with a Miami-based firm for business brokerage and access to over 200 private equity groups nationally for businesses with $5M+ net income.
