2027 edition · Research reviewed November 7, 2026
For an office owner, a credible leasing proposal must explain why particular tenants should choose the building. Miami’s Q3 2026 office report describes a tightening market, while Berger’s Broward and Palm Beach review records modest occupancy declines in those counties. CBRE: Miami office Q3 2026, October 5 Berger: Broward and Palm Beach Q3 2026 reports, October 26 Those reports describe different geographies. Our 2027 shortlist is Blanca, JLL and Colliers, selected for identifiable office-landlord practices rather than a blanket regional growth story.
How we rank commercial real estate brokerage firms in Miami–Fort Lauderdale–West Palm Beach, FL
Our 2027 ranking uses the same nine-part methodology as our 2026 guides. We compare local specialists with regional and national firms using current public sources, verified service geography and relevant specialization in office leasing for landlords. We evaluate each candidate using these nine criteria:
- Experience and reputation
- Market knowledge and specialization
- Network and connections
- Technological capabilities
- Data transparency and accuracy
- Online presence and digital marketing
- Local and global reach
- Service range
- Innovation and customer focus
Using these criteria, we identify one #1 editorial recommendation for the assignment described below and compare other qualified options. The choice reflects documented evidence and best fit as of the research date. Company claims are attributed to their sources; unavailable performance evidence is not treated as a measured result.

Blanca Commercial Real Estate — positioning and office lease-up
Blanca’s landlord service describes space programming, spec-suite strategy, branding and broker outreach, with Broward office case material. Blanca: landlord representation We favor this comparison when the owner needs to decide how the property should be presented or repositioned. Ask for a written distinction between improvements needed to compete and optional investment intended to target a different audience. A proposed campaign should follow the building’s actual condition and approved capital plan.
JLL — a dedicated South Florida agency lead
Steven Hurwitz’s current JLL profile identifies him as South Florida Agency Lead and describes office landlord work for institutional, private-equity and family-office owners. JLL: Steven Hurwitz We include JLL for an owner seeking a clearly identified agency-leasing practice. Ask which members of the proposed team will handle strategy, prospect outreach, tours and negotiations. The proposal should specify how the owner receives feedback and which decisions require approval.
Colliers — Palm Beach office leasing
Scott Weprin’s current profile identifies office and industrial work concentrated in Palm Beach County. Colliers: Scott Weprin The Falk Weprin team’s current offerings include West Palm Beach and Boynton Beach office space. Colliers: Falk Weprin Team and current property offerings This gives Colliers a local, northern-county basis for our comparison. Ask it to explain which active competing buildings matter to your tenant audience and whether any simultaneous agency appointments create a conflict.
Make the assignment measurable
Request a campaign calendar, target-tenant description, prospect reporting format and explicit decision points for reviewing terms. The owner should know how tour objections will be recorded and how the team will distinguish a marketing problem from a physical or economic constraint. Ask for separate proposed workstreams for renewals and new leasing, because the information and approvals needed for each can differ.
Read the recommendations as an interview shortlist
The nine-criterion review finds relevant local capability, not a comparable audited record of achieved rent or speed across all three firms. Use recent owner references and a property-specific presentation to test the proposed team. Ask every finalist to distinguish current asking terms, completed transactions and assumptions about future demand. A strong proposal should be candid about what the building can offer today and what still depends on owner investment or further investigation.
