Home About Us

Broward's Commercial
Real Estate Authority.

17 years of closed transactions, trusted relationships, and market intelligence — headquartered in Parkland, serving all of South Florida.

Our Mission

Institutional Expertise.
Local Accountability.

Commercial Realty FLA was founded in 2007 by James Hartwell, a former institutional real estate advisor who saw a clear gap in the Broward County market: business owners and investors deserved the same quality of advisory service that major corporations received from national firms — without the bureaucracy, the conflicts, or the out-of-market advisors who land at the airport and call themselves local experts.

We are headquartered in Parkland, embedded in the North Broward business community, and deeply networked with every significant landlord, developer, and investor in the Coral Springs–Boca Raton corridor. When you engage Commercial Realty FLA, you work directly with a senior advisor — not a junior associate — from the first call through closing.
