How Can I Help You?
Every commercial real estate decision begins with a different objective. Select the situation that best describes how I can help.
Commercial Property Owners
Considering a sale—or wondering what your property may be worth? I help owners evaluate market value, buyer demand, and the strategy best suited to achieving a strong result.
Business Owners
Leasing, purchasing, renewing, relocating, or expanding? I help business owners compare their options, understand the financial impact, and negotiate from a position of strength.
MultiFamily Owners & Investors
Whether acquiring, holding, repositioning, or selling a multifamily property, I provide the financial analysis and market insight needed to make a confident decision.
Why Work With John McDonald
Commercial Real Estate Guidance From a Fellow Business Owner
Commercial real estate decisions can have a significant effect on your business, investment portfolio, and long-term financial security. As the former owner of a 12-employee business and a commercial real estate professional with more than a decade of experience, I understand how real estate decisions affect cash flow, operations, employees, and long-term value.
My approach is consultative, data-driven, and focused on protecting your interests—not simply completing a transaction. I begin by understanding what you are trying to accomplish, evaluating the available options, and developing a strategy designed around your objectives.

Selected Transactions
Real-world examples of how thoughtful analysis, strategic positioning, and focused negotiation can help property owners and business owners achieve better results.
Mixed-Use Sale
$3 Million Sale
Previously listed for $1.2 million for 12 months without receiving an offer. After analyzing the apartment income and structuring a five-year sale-leaseback for the owner’s deli, I repositioned the property as an investment opportunity. It sold for $3 million in less than 90 days.
FLEX Space Lease Solution
$432,000 in Lease Savings
An owner-user no longer needed his 7,190-square-foot facility but still had six years remaining on the lease. I identified a sublease provision, secured a new occupant for the remaining term, and relocated my client to a more suitable 3,000-square-foot facility.
Central Broward Land Acquisition
$1.9 Million Purchase
An owner-user needed a central location to consolidate operations serving Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade Counties. I identified a vacant site near major transportation corridors, coordinated the zoning review, and structured contingencies protecting the buyer from code violations and delinquent taxes.
Have a Commercial Real Estate Challenge?
Dental Practice Expansion
$600,000 Base Lease Value
A successful dentist needed a more accessible and expandable location for the practice’s next generation. I identified an off-market facility nearby and negotiated 12 months without base-rent payments for buildout, two five-year renewal options, and limits on annual CAM increases.
Every situation is different. A brief conversation may help identify options, risks, or opportunities that are not immediately apparent.
A Better Decision Starts with a Conversation
You do not need to be ready to buy, sell, or sign a lease to begin. My process starts with understanding your objectives and helping you evaluate the available options.
Understand Your Objectives
We begin with a brief conversation about your property, business, timing, challenges, and financial goals.
Review the Market and Options
I evaluate market conditions, property positioning, financial considerations, and available alternatives so you can understand the potential benefits and risks.
Developing the Right Strategy
Together, we determine the approach best suited to protecting your interests, maximizing value, and achieving your objective
Not Sure What Your Next Steps Should Be?
