Maximize Your Return on Palm Beach County Commercial Real Estate. Whether You're Buying, Selling, or Leasing.
Most commercial property owners and investors in Palm Beach County lose tens of thousands of dollars because they work with passive agents who list properties and hope for the best. You deserve an aggressive strategy backed by hands-on local expertise, a trusted brand, with a focus on client advocacy.

Why Most Commercial Real Estate Deals in Palm Beach County Fail (And How to Avoid Becoming a Statistic)
Here's what happens when you work with the wrong commercial real estate agent in Palm Beach County:
Your property sits on the market for months—or worse, over a year. Every day your retail or industrial space remains vacant, you're burning cash on property taxes, insurance, maintenance, and lost opportunity. For commercial properties, carrying costs can run $5,000 to $20,000+ per month in Palm Beach County.
You accept a low-ball offer because you're desperate. Passive agents list your property on the MLS and wait for their phone to ring. Or worse they never advertise it publicly and hope to sell it to one of their existing clients. No aggressive marketing. No agent outreach to other commercial real estate agents. No targeted outreach. No negotiation strategy. When the only offer comes in 20% below asking, you feel like you have no choice.
You overpay as a buyer because your agent only shows you their own listings. Big commercial real estate firms push their in-house inventory first. Not because it's the best fit for you, but because they want to line their own pockets. You end up buying a property that's "good enough" instead of the right one, often paying 10-15% more than you should because you never saw all your options.
You sign a lease that costs you thousands in preventable expenses. Commercial contracts aren't like residential deals. Environmental studies, zoning compliance, lease structures, tenant improvement allowances. One mistake can cost you a fortune.
The difference between a passive agent and an aggressive one isn't just service level. It's literally tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars in your pocket or theirs.
Meet Casey: Your Hands-On Guide to Palm Beach County Commercial Real Estate
I've worked with institutional investors and national tenants, but my passion is helping individual owners and first-time commercial investors navigate deals without getting taken advantage of.
After 15+ years closing deals throughout the state of Florida, I've narrowed my focus exclusively to Palm Beach County, where I can provide the hands-on, local expertise my clients deserve.
Here's what makes working with me different:
You get me—not a team of assistants. When you call, I answer. When you text, I respond. When you email, it's me writing back. I'm a sole practitioner by choice because my clients deserve undivided attention, not a transaction coordinator who's juggling 50 other deals.
I work for a locally-owned company, not a national conglomerate. I'm proud to be part of Nicklaus Vance Realty Group, a Jack Nicklaus family owned company founded with the passion and success the Nicklaus family has brought to South Florida. We work with smaller and mid-market clients that many commercial real estate firms would ignore.
I don't hoard inventory. Unlike larger firms that keep their best listings private, I put every property on the MLS and commercial portals. Why? Because my job is to get YOU the best outcome, not to maximize my commission by limiting your options.
I find solutions where others see dead ends. I once sold a retail property in Fort Lauderdale that had been on the market for over a year. The space had been built with small offices and walls, not ideal for most retail uses. Instead of slashing the price, I got creative. I reimagined those offices as dressing rooms and contacted clothing boutiques. Within weeks, I found the perfect buyer: a wedding dress design company that has flourished in the space ever since.
That's the difference between listing a property and solving a problem.
How Working Together Works: A Simple 3-Step Process
No pressure. No games. Just a straightforward path to maximizing your return on Palm Beach County commercial real estate.
Step 1: No-Pressure Consultation Call
We'll have a conversation about your goals, timeline, and concerns. Whether you're selling a retail space in Boca Raton, buying an industrial building in West Palm Beach, or leasing your first commercial property, I'll ask questions to understand your wants and needs. This call typically takes 15-30 minutes, and there's zero obligation.
Step 2: Face-to-Face Property Meeting
I don't do deals from behind a computer screen. We'll meet in person, either to walk your existing property or to tour available spaces that match your criteria. This is where my local Palm Beach County expertise matters. I know which submarkets are appreciating, which properties have hidden issues, and which deals are actually good investments versus overpriced traps.
Step 3: Execute Your Custom Strategy
For Sellers: We'll finalize your marketing strategy and list your property with professional materials, targeted outreach, and aggressive promotion across all commercial real estate channels.
For Buyers: We'll narrow down your buy box, identify the best opportunities (including off-market deals), and structure competitive offers designed to get you the property at the right price.
For Tenants/Landlords: We'll negotiate lease terms that protect your interests, handle all contract complexities, and ensure you're not leaving money on the table or signing away rights you'll regret later.

The "Unsellable" Retail Space
The Problem: A retail property in Fort Lauderdale had been on the market for over a year with multiple agents. The space was built with numerous small offices and walls, a very specific layout that limited potential buyers.
The Solution: Instead of dropping the price and hoping for the best, I got creative. I reimagined those small offices as dressing rooms and began targeted outreach to clothing boutiques and specialty retailers.
The Outcome: Within weeks, I connected with a wedding dress design company that saw exactly what I saw. The space was perfect for their needs, requiring minimal renovation. They purchased the property and have since built a thriving business there.
The Lesson: Sometimes the right buyer isn't the obvious one. Aggressive, creative marketing means thinking beyond "list it and hope."
The Real Cost of Choosing the Wrong Commercial Real Estate Agent
Let's be brutally honest about what happens when you work with a passive agent or try to go it alone in Palm Beach County's commercial real estate market:
If you're selling: Your property sits vacant month after month. At $10,000+ per month in carrying costs, that's $120,000+ per year just evaporating. Eventually, you panic and accept a low offer. You lose not only the carrying costs but also $50,000 to $200,000 below what the property was actually worth with proper marketing.
If you're buying: You overpay by 10-20% because you don't have access to market comparables, off-market deals, or skilled negotiation. On a $1 million industrial building, that's $100,000 to $200,000 you'll never get back.
If you're leasing: You sign a contract with unfavorable terms—maybe too long, maybe with hidden costs, maybe without proper tenant improvement allowances. Over a 5-10 year lease, this can cost you hundreds of thousands in preventable expenses.
Commercial real estate isn't residential. The contracts need attorney review. Environmental studies likely need to be conducted. Zoning issues can derail deals. There are far more moving pieces, and every mistake is expensive.
You don't get a second chance to do this right.
Imagine This Instead...
Your retail space in Jupiter sells in 90 days for asking price because we implemented an aggressive marketing strategy that reached the right buyers.
Or you secure the perfect industrial building in West Palm Beach at 8% below market value because I was able to negotiate aggressively with the seller.
Or you negotiate a lease for your growing business with favorable terms, a generous tenant improvement allowance, and flexibility to expand when you're ready.
That's the difference between hoping for the best and having a strategic partner who treats your deal like it's his own.
You'll sleep better. You'll save money. You'll avoid the costly mistakes that plague commercial real estate transactions.
And when it's done, you'll have the confidence that you made the right decision, not the desperate one.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I sell my commercial property in Palm Beach County?
Start with a comprehensive property analysis and market evaluation. Work with a local commercial real estate broker who specializes in your property type (retail or industrial) who will implement an aggressive marketing strategy, not just list it and hope. The process includes professional photography, targeted outreach to qualified buyers, MLS listings, and strategic pricing based on current market conditions in your specific area (West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, etc.).
What is my commercial property worth in West Palm Beach?
Commercial property values in West Palm Beach depend on multiple factors: property type (retail, industrial), location, square footage, condition, lease status, zoning, and current market conditions. The best way to determine your property's value is through a comparative market analysis (CMA) that examines recent sales of similar properties in your submarket. Contact me for a free property analysis.
How long does it take to sell commercial real estate in Palm Beach County?
With aggressive marketing, well-priced retail and industrial properties in Palm Beach County typically sell within 90-180 days. However, properties that sit with passive agents can remain on the market for a year or longer. The key factors are proper pricing, professional marketing materials, and targeted outreach to qualified buyers, not just waiting for someone to find your listing.
Should I buy or lease commercial space for my business in Palm Beach County?
This depends on your business goals, financial position, and growth plans. Buying provides equity building, tax benefits, and long-term stability, but requires significant capital. Leasing offers flexibility and preserves capital for business operations. I help clients analyze both options based on their specific situation, including cash flow projections, market conditions in areas like Boca Raton or Jupiter, and long-term business strategy.
What's the difference between working with a local commercial real estate broker versus a national firm?
Local brokers provide hands-on, personalized service and deep market knowledge of specific Palm Beach County submarkets. National firms often have large teams where you're passed between transaction coordinators and assistants. Additionally, many large firms keep their best listings internal to double-end commissions, limiting your access to inventory. As a sole practitioner with Nicklaus Vance Realty Group (a locally-owned company), I provide individual attention and list all properties publicly to ensure the best outcome for my clients.
What types of commercial properties do you specialize in?
I specialize in retail and industrial properties throughout Palm Beach County, including West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Jupiter, Wellington, and Boynton Beach. Whether you're buying, selling, or leasing, I provide expertise in property analysis, market positioning, and transaction management for these property types.
How much does it cost to hire a commercial real estate broker in Palm Beach County?
Commercial real estate commissions are negotiable based on the property type, value, and complexity of the transaction. During our initial consultation, I'll explain the fee structure for your specific situation.
What should I look for when buying industrial property in Palm Beach County?
Key considerations include: zoning compliance for your intended use, ceiling height, loading dock access, power capacity, truck turning radius, proximity to major highways (I-95, Florida's Turnpike), parking ratios, and environmental assessments. Industrial properties in West Palm Beach and surrounding areas vary significantly in age, condition, and functionality. I help buyers evaluate these factors and identify properties that truly meet their operational needs—not just what looks good on paper.
