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 industrial tenant representation. 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.

Berger Commercial Realty — Broward industrial occupiers
Graves’s profile documents tenant representation, industrial specialization and market/site analysis. Berger: Keith R. Graves We include Berger for a business whose first question is whether a Broward location meets its operating needs. Ask the proposed team to translate vehicle movements, staffing, storage and delivery requirements into a screening checklist. It should explain why each property survives that screening, not simply present everything within the requested size range.
CBRE — Miami industrial and logistics searches
David Albert’s current Miami biography identifies industrial tenant representation, land and build-to-suit work in South Florida. CBRE: David Albert We would compare CBRE where a conventional lease may need to be tested against a more tailored facility solution. Ask the team to distinguish existing space that can be occupied on schedule from options dependent on construction or additional approvals. A more flexible proposal can still carry a longer or less certain delivery path.
Colliers — the Palm Beach end of the search
Michael Falk’s profile establishes commercial and industrial transaction work from West Palm Beach. Colliers: Michael Falk The Falk Weprin team expressly offers landlord and tenant representation and displays Palm Beach industrial and flex offerings. Colliers: Falk Weprin Team and current property offerings We select Colliers as the northern-county comparison. Some of its wider territory is outside this metro; ask for Palm Beach-specific options and identify any proposed search expansion separately.
Define usable occupancy cost
Require the same schedule of rent, operating charges, fit-out, moving and restoration assumptions from each finalist. Ask qualified technical advisers to confirm loading, power, fire protection, permitted use and any physical alterations before those items are treated as settled. The broker should keep unverified listing information visibly separate from confirmed property facts and explain who is responsible for resolving each open item.
Why these three remain comparisons
Berger provides a local independent alternative to two national platforms, while the named sources give the shortlist a county-specific basis. Our nine-criterion review does not establish which firm will obtain the lowest cost for an unknown requirement. Request relevant tenant references, written conflict disclosures and a clear lead-broker commitment. The best proposal should show how the business can make a timely decision with fewer unresolved operating assumptions.
