TAMPA, Fla. - Rezul -- A top-performing Florida retail investment sales team with brokers Brad Peterson, Whitaker Leonhardt, and Michael Brewster has joined Colliers. Based in Orlando, the team works with institutional and private capital investors to facilitate retail investment sales transactions.

"The addition of this team is part of the continued evolution of Colliers' expansion into the institutional retail owner space and our growth in Florida and further enhances our other services in retail including leasing, debt, and financing, project and development management, as well as property management," said Ryan Kratz, President, Southeast and Mid-Central Regions, U.S. Brokerage, Colliers.
