Juggling act

Ron Struthers was in his mid-30s when General Development Corp. transferred its successful sales manager from his native Canada to Port Charlotte to close single-family home deals, the start of a career that eventually led him into commercial real estate.

More than three decades later, Struthers is among the top tier of commercial real estate brokers in Charlotte County. He's an agent who juggles dozens of listings.

Last year alone, Struthers completed 37 deals with a transactional volume of $13.5 million, ranking him among the top commercial agents statewide with Coldwell Banker Commercial NRT.
