As a Senior Director of  Land Services of Colliers International South Florida, I leverage my extensive experience and knowledge in land acquisitions and dispositions to our Land Advisory practice throughout Florida.

Throughout my career I have been involved with more than  4 million square feet of commercial properties and over 10,000 residential units. This includes, but is not limited to, land acquisition, development, construction, leasing, management and sales transactions. 

With nearly 40 years of experience in commercial and residential real estate business, I have had the pleasure of completing transactions within nearly every Florida market.  

Most recently as a Vice President at CBRE, I was a member of the Land Services Group (LSG), where I specialized in the disposition of excess land for clients, including large tracts of commercial, agricultural and transitional land within the State of Florida. Preceding my employment with the Falcone Group, as Vice President of Commercial Development, I was a vice president with WCI Communities for nearly five years. In this capacity, I was responsible for negotiating all aspects of land sale acquisitions and dispositions throughout Florida. During this time period I negotiated approximately $500 million in land transactions much of the land consisting of the former McArthur Foundation Land Holdings totaling 14,000 acres in North Palm Beach County. I have also been involved with several CDD (Community Development District) and served on the Board of the Old Palm CDD.

As an experienced professional in the field of Commercial/Industrial Real Estate since 1982,  I serve as a Commercial Market Specialist in the South East Florida Metropolitan market, delivering an elevated level of expertise. I have successfully performed site selections, corporate consulting, lease analysis, sales and leasing, nationwide. I also provide national market consulting to various Wall Street Investment Firms. 

 Prior to my role in Colliers, I founded Michael Falk & Co., LLC in  1998 and it grew to become a full-service commercial brokerage firm focused on the sale and leasing of office, industrial, and investment properties. Our team represented a variety of clients including Wall Street investment firms and Fortune 500 companies. We  also worked with some of the region’s largest industrial owners, including West Palm Beach-based McCraney Property Co and Precise Properties.

Before establishing Michael Falk & Co., LLC in South Florida in 1998, I worked as Vice President for Charles Klatskin Company Inc., a New Jersey based Broker & Developer, from January 1983 to September 1998, where I worked with many Fortune 500 Companies. 

I am both a CCIM and dual designated Office and Industrial real estate specialist for The Society of Industrial and Office Realtors (SIOR).

My responsibilities include the creation of quality marketing materials such as custom maps, flyers, offering memorandums and custom websites. I also track all marketing activity to provide clear and concise client update reports to ensure the client is fully informed and aware of our efforts.   

I am always excited when working with new industry tools to take our listings to market and have been a huge advocate for innovative tools to accelerate the success of not just our local team but that of our entire region, showing our clients and competitors the Colliers Difference. 

I have been in the commercial real estate industry since 2008 specializing in office and retail properties. My previous experience in property management allows me a unique understanding of commercial real estate properties and only enhances my knowledge of the commercial real estate sector.
