Market Potential

As the new Florida market leader for Cushman & Wakefield, Larry Richey oversees six corporate offices and one affiliate office sprinkled through out the state.

Sure, it's a lot of responsibility, but the new gig isn't too different for 57-year-old Richey, who has led the Tampa, Orlando and Jacksonville offices for the last 23 years for the company and spent 10 years in Atlanta with the company prior to that. It just means a little more time on the road, he says.

In 2014, Richey expects his corporate offices in Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach, and his affiliate office in Fort Myers, to exceed the $3 billion mark. They're already well on track, he says. Richey is also looking to grow the Florida offices, which currently include 107 brokers and 279 professionals.
