A COLDWELL BANKER–AFFILIATED COMMERCIAL PRACTICE

Structured Brokerage & Development Advisory

We help you unlock
the full potential of
your property.

Our role is to protect your capital, validate the opportunity, and manage execution through vetted professionals—representing you exclusively as the owner.

Our job is to protect your capital, validate the opportunity, and execute with vetted professionals aligned with the process. This is as the owner's representation.

Who we serve

Three doors.
One mission.

Every conversation we have falls into one of three categories. Each one matters. Each one is handled differently.

Primary

Property Owners

You own land or a property in South Florida and you're not sure what to do with it. Sell as-is? Develop? Partner? You deserve a real answer — not a pitch.

→ We tell you what your property is truly worth and what it could become.
Partners

Capital & Investors

You deploy capital into real estate and you need a local operator on the ground who filters risk before anything reaches you — not after.

→ We bring you vetted, validated opportunities. Nothing raw. Nothing unstructured.
Network

Real Estate Agents

You're tired of transactional work. You have relationships with owners who need more than a listing. You want to participate in bigger deals without building your own platform.

→ Bring us the introduction. We handle the rest and you participate in the outcome.

How it works

Every project follows
the same disciplined path.

There are no shortcuts. There is no guessing. Every layer is validated before the next one opens.

01
Due Diligence
Before anything is committed
Zoning attorney confirms what can be built. Environmental consultant clears the site. Title is searched. Nothing moves forward with unknowns.
02
Feasibility Study
PAID ADVISORY PHASE
Architect produces the concept. VR produces an exact duplicate. An independent estimator validates the cost. Civil engineers confirm the site. You get a real picture — not a hopeful one.
03
Construction Financing Preparation
Lender alignment & documentation
We assist owners in preparing for and securing construction financing through vetted banking relationships. Our role is to ensure the project is properly structured, documented, and aligned with lender expectations before capital is introduced.
04
Development & Construction
Execution — weekly accountability
Development manager runs the site. Construction attorney enforces contracts. Geotechnical engineer clears the foundation. Budget vs actual reported every week.
05
Sale & Capital Return
Disposition & waterfall
We control the listing. Capital is returned through the agreed waterfall. The deal is not done until every investor is whole. Then — and only then — we collect our promote.

The difference

Most developers hope.
We validate.

How we operate
Zoning and environmental cleared before any capital is committed
Construction cost independently validated — not estimated by the person who wants the job
Full fee structure disclosed in writing before you sign anything
Investor capital protected by preferred return and structured waterfall
One engaged advisor from first conversation to final closing
Paid to think before anything moves — not paid to close regardless of outcome
The typical approach
Find a property, raise money, hire a contractor, hope
Construction budget comes from the contractor doing the work
Fees revealed at the end when you're already committed
Investor capital exposed at every stage without structured protection
Multiple people involved, accountability diffused across all of them
Motivated to close deals, not to protect capital

Your role

Owner-side guidance.
Clear process oversight.

CBJR is an owners side platform — not as the contractor, architect, or developer etc.

Our role is to guide the process, align the right professionals, and ensure decisions are made with clarity, structure, and accountability at every stage. This is what we do and we do very well.

How we are compensated

Transparent alignment
from start to finish.

Compensation may include acquisition commissions, advisory or development management fees, and, where appropriate, commissions related to the disposition.

We do not act as the developer, contractor, engineers. We manage the process from start to finish on the behalf of the owner.

You bring the introduction.
We do the rest.

If you work with property owners in South Florida, you already have what we need. You don't need to know development. You don't need to build a new platform. You need a reliable place to send your best opportunities and get paid for it.

→ Bring us an owner with a property that has development potential
→ We evaluate the opportunity and handle the full advisory process
→ You participate in the outcome — referral fee or co-brokerage depending on the deal
→ Your client is handled with the same institutional-grade care we give every engagement
→ Your relationship is protected — always
Let's talk about your deal
