2027 edition · Research reviewed November 7, 2026
Colliers is our #1 editorial retail leasing firm for an Orlando-area landlord repositioning a mixed-use or lifestyle center. Crossman & Company and SRS Real Estate Partners offer different owner-side alternatives. We apply the nine firm criteria to the property’s actual leasing problem. Choosing an adviser for a redevelopment requires more than a retailer contact list: the campaign must connect the intended tenant mix with what the owner can deliver.
How we rank commercial real estate brokerage firms in Orlando–Kissimmee–Sanford, 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 retail 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.
OUR #1 RECOMMENDATION
#1 — Colliers
For 2027, Colliers is our #1 editorial recommendation among commercial real estate brokerage firms for retail leasing for landlords in Orlando–Kissimmee–Sanford, FL.
Best fit: Mixed-use or lifestyle-center repositioning
Our #1 for mixed-use retail repositioning combines Fonseca’s current landlord specialization with an explicitly named Winter Park Village owner-side leasing assignment, directly supporting the property-type and campaign fit.
The shortlist at a glance
Our #1 choice and other specialists| Firm or broker | Best fit | Why selected |
|---|---|---|
| #1 Colliers | Mixed-use or lifestyle-center repositioning | Fonseca’s current specialty is reinforced by a named Winter Park Village agency role. |
| Crossman & Company | A shopping-center campaign focused on landlords | Its service policy and an identified Orlando listing support that role. |
| SRS Real Estate Partners | Outparcel, development and existing-center leasing | Frumkin’s current personal practice expressly covers these owner assignments. |
Colliers — our #1 for mixed-use retail repositioning
Alexie Fonseca’s current Colliers profile identifies landlord leasing, mixed-use developments and lifestyle centers. Colliers: Alexie Fonseca, retail landlord specialization A June 2025 account names Fonseca and David Gabbai in CASTO’s retail leasing assignment at Winter Park Village. Colliers: June 2025 Winter Park Village retail and office leasing account We favor the match between a documented specialty and a specific local owner role. The report is historical, and its occupancy and rent claims are not carried forward as present results or used to predict another property’s performance.
Crossman & Company — a landlord-focused center campaign
Crossman states that it represents landlords and does not take tenant-representation assignments. Crossman: landlord-only leasing and commercial operating services Its Corner Lakes Plaza listing identifies an Orlando shopping center and Tyler Wilkins as leasing contact. Crossman: Corner Lakes Plaza and named leasing broker This is a particularly relevant comparison for ownership seeking that representation focus. Ask how the proposed campaign will address the center’s actual vacancies and neighboring uses. A current listing confirms marketing responsibility, not the speed or economics of a completed lease.
SRS Real Estate Partners — outparcels and center leasing
Mara Frumkin’s current SRS biography identifies landlord work involving outparcels, new developments and existing shopping centers. SRS: Mara Frumkin, current tenant and landlord practice We include SRS when ownership is evaluating those formats. Her former Atlantic Retail role is historical; the current appointment is with SRS. Have the proposed team separate ground-lease, building and inline-space requirements so that the campaign does not treat different delivery obligations as interchangeable.
Turn the intended tenant mix into a leasing brief
Ask finalists to explain which uses are plausible for the property and which depend on physical changes, approvals or unresolved agreements. The owner should supply one consistent account of available space, budget and delivery assumptions. Require a prospect plan that distinguishes a named target from an operator that has actually expressed interest. Marketing should communicate confirmed conditions and identify proposals that remain contingent.
Select for the property’s challenge
Colliers leads the mixed-use repositioning scenario because the current specialist profile is reinforced by a named local landlord assignment. Crossman deserves particular attention for a conventional shopping-center campaign with a landlord-only service preference, while SRS provides an outparcel and development comparison. Confirm individual staffing and coverage for Kissimmee or Sanford assets. No common independently verified evidence supports numerical rankings of achieved rent, tenant retention or leasing duration across these firms. Ask owners of comparable properties about communication, follow-through and how the proposed team handled unexpected obstacles.
