Ray Sandelli joins CRE

Raymond Sandelli is well recognized in commercial real estate circles across Florida, so it was big news when he joined an entrepreneurial firm in Fort Myers.

Most recently, Sandelli was senior managing director of commercial brokerage CBRE's statewide operations from 2000 to 2006 and the firm's recovery and restructuring operations until 2012. He joined CBRE (formerly known as CB Richard Ellis) in Tampa in 1995 as managing director.

Now, Sandelli has joined Fort Myers-based CRE Consultants as the managing partner of the commercial brokerage firm. He will oversee the company's offices in Fort Myers, Naples and Stuart.
