Choosing a Davie Convenience Store Lease Agent

There is no objective ranking of the best convenience store lease agents in Davie, and any list claiming otherwise is marketing. What does exist is a set of verifiable criteria that separate agents who close c-store leases from agents who say they do.

Use these criteria to evaluate anyone you are considering, including us.

Verifiable Criteria, Not Claims

Ask for closed transactions, not listings. A listing proves someone accepted an assignment; a closing proves they finished. Ask specifically for convenience, fuel, or small-format retail closings in Broward County within the last twenty-four months, and ask which corridors those sites sat on.

Then check credentials that require actual work: a Florida real estate license in good standing, and designations such as CCIM that require documented transaction volume and coursework rather than a membership payment. Verify the license status directly with the state rather than taking a website's word for it.

Sector Depth for Convenience and Fuel

A qualified c-store agent should be able to explain, without preparation, how a fuel supply agreement interacts with occupancy terms, what a Phase I environmental report covers on a fuel site, how beer and wine licensing affects a use clause, and how CAM is typically calculated on a small unanchored Broward center.

If those answers are vague, the agent will be learning on your transaction. Convenience retail has too many trapdoors — assignment consent, exclusivity, environmental exposure, supply term — for that to be acceptable.

Process and Access

Ask how they will source space that is not listed. The answer should describe a concrete method: direct ownership outreach from county records, standing relationships with Broward center owners and fuel jobbers, and a criteria-matching process. An agent whose sourcing plan is a listing platform search adds little you cannot do yourself.

Finally, ask who does the work. On small leases, the person you meet is often not the person who runs the deal. Confirm that upfront. Our practice is led by Bobby Berrido, CCIM, CMAA, and focused specifically on Florida fuel and convenience retail — you can review that background on our team page.
