Miami Native Brian Sharpe to Lead MIAMI Commercial Realtors
Miami, FL (PRWEB) February 06, 2018 -- The Realtors Commercial Alliance of the MIAMI Association of REALTORS® (MIAMI) has elected Miami native Brian Sharpe as its 2018 president. He and the 2018 RCA Board of Governors were installed Feb. 2 at MIAMI’s 2018 Inaugural and Awards Celebration.
RCA MIAMI leaders impact key policy decisions and important issues affecting the South Florida commercial industry, analyze information, are actively and visibly involved in events and programming, and promote Miami and South Florida commercial and investment real estate worldwide. MIAMI represents more than 46,000 residential, commercial, and international real estate professionals.
“Now more than ever, South Florida has become the place to live, play, and invest,” Sharpe said. “With annual population growth around 8 percent we have multi-family buildings going up, retail centers being expanded, and new industrial projects being built to meet demand. I have high hopes for 2018 which I am sure will end stronger than it has begun.”
Sharpe is a vice president of leasing and construction at Hialeah-based Sharpe Properties. Sharpe has handled the leasing and oversees the construction, repairs, and maintenance for all of the company’s managed properties.
Sharpe is also a member of the Property Tax Appeal Group, LLC (P-TAG), which handles property tax appeals for all types of property owners throughout Miami-Dade and Broward County.
Born and raised in Miami, Florida, Sharpe earned a B.A. in Business Administration from Syracuse University. Sharpe is a real estate Broker, certified general contractor, home inspector, and is a Registered Trainee Appraiser.
Sharpe has been an active member of MIAMI’s Commercial Board of Governors since 2014. He is also a member of the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC), the Commercial Industrial Association of South Florida (CIASF), and the REALTOR Association of Miami-Dade County.
When he is not working with the MIAMI Realtors, Sharpe can be found spending time with his wife and children, raising money for charity by cycling, or listening to Dave Matthews Band.
Sharpe is the third-generation in his family to be involved in commercial real estate. His father, Barry Sharpe, was raised in Cuba and the family lost everything when Fidel Castro took power. His grandfather, Joe Sharpe, started with only help from his community and built up a thriving commercial real estate company.
