The franchise real estate desk for South Florida.
We broker franchise real estate across Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade: site selection backed by parcel-level demographic and traffic data, off-market sourcing, and LOI-to-lease execution. Franchisors expanding into the market and franchisees opening a first or next location run the same playbook we have executed for Firestone, Avis, Enterprise, Tire Kingdom, BodyBar Pilates, and Goddard School.
Expanding a brand into South Florida: market strategy, ranked trade areas, multi-unit rollout pacing, and one accountable broker across all three counties.
Opening your first or next location: trade-area validation before you sign anything, the full universe of space including off-market, and a lease negotiated so your unit economics survive year one.
Brand names are trademarks of their respective owners. Listed to reflect completed representation work.
Live MLS feed counts across the South Florida footprint, refreshed daily. Off-market inventory sits on top of these numbers. Data as of 2026-07-06.
Data first, then dirt, then the lease.
Site Selection Criteria
We translate your franchise model into South Florida terms: which corridors clear your demographic bar, what the local rent bands do to your unit economics, and where zoning actually permits your use. National site criteria get recalibrated to this market before anything gets toured.
Demographic + Traffic Analysis
Every candidate runs through our own parcel and market data platform: drive-time populations, income bands, daypart traffic counts, competitor mapping, and co-tenancy reads. You get a ranked scorecard per site, on-market and off-market alike, not a stack of flyers.
LOI to Lease Execution
Base rent against real comps, TI and free rent against your build-out budget, exclusives, co-tenancy protection, franchisor addendum requirements, and options that let a winning site compound. We stay through permitting and delivery until the doors open.

Completed brand work, not claimed expertise
Firestone, Tire Kingdom, Avis, Enterprise, BodyBar Pilates, Goddard School, Montessori schools, The Learning Academy, Infinite Hitting Clubhouse, Glam Cosmetics, El Car Wash, self-storage operators. Each engagement sharpened the same playbook you get.
Our own data platform
Parcel records, demographic layers, traffic data, and live on-market plus off-market inventory across five counties. Site scorecards come from our platform, not a purchased report.
Direct landlord access
We represent landlords on the leasing side too, so we frequently know which suites are coming available before they list. In a supply-constrained market, that asymmetry is the entire game.
KW Commercial scale, local depth
KW Commercial transacts $14B+ annually, and we see lease structures across asset classes every week: which terms are standard, which are negotiable, and which are landlord-friendly traps.
Franchise real estate FAQ
Do you represent franchisees, or only franchisor real estate teams?
Both. We represent franchisor development teams rolling multiple units into South Florida and individual franchisees siting their first or next location. The process is identical: trade-area analysis, ranked candidate list across on-market and off-market space, then LOI and lease negotiation. In most cases the landlord side pays the tenant broker, so representation costs the operator nothing out of pocket.
Which franchise brands have you actually worked with?
We have represented or placed Firestone, Tire Kingdom, Avis, Enterprise, El Car Wash, BodyBar Pilates, Infinite Hitting Clubhouse, Goddard School, Montessori schools, The Learning Academy, Glam Cosmetics, and self-storage operators in South Florida. Brand names are trademarks of their respective owners, listed to reflect completed representation work.
How does your site-selection analysis work?
We run every candidate through parcel-level demographic and traffic analysis built on our own market data platform: drive-time populations, income bands against your price point, daypart traffic, competitor and co-tenant mapping, and zoning verification for the specific use. The output is a ranked scorecard per site, not a stack of listing flyers.
How long does it take to open a franchise location in South Florida?
An initial demographic-backed candidate list takes 5 to 10 business days. LOI to lease execution typically runs 30 to 90 days, and permitting plus build-out varies by municipality and use, from a few months for a retail suite to a year-plus for ground-up automotive or car wash sites. We build the full calendar around your franchisor deadlines up front.
Can you help me sell an existing franchise location?
Yes. Our franchise resale practice packages the operating unit with the real estate, owned or leased: going-concern valuation, franchisor transfer coordination, lease assignment or property sale, and confidential marketing. See the franchise resales page or our business brokerage practice.
