The leading and largest commercial property management company in Ocala, FL and surrounding counties since 1979. I managed a portfolio of commercial income producing properties of all types including office, industrial and retail. Conducted all lease administration and negotiations. Over the years increased company market share by forming a department for non-managed Seller/Landlord Lease & Sale Representation. This evolved into Tenant/Buyer Representation. As the Client base grew more diverse and the market changed, it became necessary to keep the management capabilities within Heritage Management Corp. and create a separate entity with new tools, reach and capability named NAI Heritage.
