2027 edition · Research reviewed November 7, 2026
Alexie Fonseca of Colliers is our #1 editorial individual retail leasing broker for an Orlando-area owner reshaping a lifestyle or mixed-use property. Tyler Wilkins of Crossman & Company and Mara Frumkin of SRS Real Estate Partners are comparison candidates.

How we rank individual commercial real estate brokers 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:
- Individual experience and professional credibility
- Market knowledge and asset specialization
- Personal network and deal access
- Personal technology and analytical capability
- Data transparency and market accuracy
- Personal brand and digital presence
- Local execution with regional and national perspective
- Service scope at agent level
- Innovation and client-centered strategy
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 — Alexie Fonseca
For 2027, Alexie Fonseca is our #1 editorial recommendation among individual commercial real estate brokers for retail leasing for landlords in Orlando–Kissimmee–Sanford, FL.
Best fit: Lifestyle and mixed-use retail repositioning
Our #1 individual for a lifestyle or mixed-use retail owner combines a current personal landlord specialty with a named Winter Park Village leasing role, directly supporting the repositioning and tenant-mix assignment.
The shortlist at a glance
Our #1 choice and other specialists| Firm or broker | Best fit | Why selected |
|---|---|---|
| #1 Alexie Fonseca | Lifestyle and mixed-use retail repositioning | Her current specialty is supported by a named local owner leasing role. |
| Tyler Wilkins | Neighborhood and grocery-center leasing | His current owner practice is backed by an identified Orlando center listing. |
| Mara Frumkin | Outparcels and development-related retail delivery | Her current SRS biography documents those personal landlord responsibilities. |
Alexie Fonseca — our #1 for a changing mixed-use tenant mix
Fonseca’s current profile identifies landlord leasing in lifestyle centers, mixed-use developments and commercial strips. Colliers: Alexie Fonseca, retail landlord specialization Colliers’ June 2025 Winter Park Village account names her in the retail leasing role for CASTO. Colliers: June 2025 Winter Park Village retail and office leasing account We select her for an owner needing to connect tenant targeting with a broader repositioning. The historical example supports assignment experience; it does not verify today’s occupancy or establish that the same outcome will follow at another center.
Tyler Wilkins — neighborhood and grocery-center ownership
Crossman’s current team page identifies Wilkins’s landlord leasing practice. Crossman: Tyler Wilkins and current leasing team Belle Isle Commons lists him as the leasing contact for its Orlando retail offering. Crossman: Belle Isle Commons leasing contact He is a relevant comparison when the owner wants a clearly identified shopping-center broker. Ask him to explain the relationship between the available unit and the center’s existing uses. An advertised vacancy should not be assumed suitable for every prospect on a target list.
Mara Frumkin — outparcels and developing retail space
Frumkin’s current SRS biography documents owner work on outparcels, ground-up developments and existing centers. SRS: Mara Frumkin, current tenant and landlord practice We would compare her when the leasing assignment includes different delivery formats. Ask which conditions must be settled before a prospect can make a meaningful decision. Her public profile supports the specialization, but does not establish a verified leasing timetable for the owner’s proposed project.
Evaluate the broker’s proposed involvement
Give each candidate one difficult leasing objection at the property and ask how they would investigate it. Require a distinction between confirmed facts, owner plans and assumptions that depend on approvals or technical review. The proposed reporting should show meaningful prospect feedback and the decisions needed from ownership. Ask how the broker will work with the property manager and project team while remaining accountable for the leasing scope.
Why the #1 is tied to the assignment
Fonseca leads the lifestyle-and-mixed-use brief because her current personal specialty and a named local landlord example reinforce one another. Wilkins offers a center-oriented comparison and Frumkin a development-and-outparcel perspective. For Kissimmee or Sanford assets, request relevant examples from the actual proposed adviser. Public sources do not provide a consistent audited comparison of achieved rents, tenant quality or lease-up speed for these individuals. Check availability, competing mandates and references before appointment. The most persuasive proposal should make the next owner decisions understandable, including the circumstances in which the initial campaign should be reconsidered.
