Berger Commercial Realty Named One of South Florida’s Largest Commercial Property Management Firms for 2026

The recognition extends the Fort Lauderdale-based firm's long-running streak of placement on the publication's property management and brokerage lists. Earlier this year, the South Florida Business Journal also ranked Berger among the region's top commercial real estate brokerage firms, making 2026 another year in which the independently owned firm earned recognition on both lists.

You can view the full ranking in the South Florida Business Journal's 2026 list of commercial property management firms.

What Is the South Florida Business Journal's Commercial Property Management Firms List?

The South Florida Business Journal publishes an annual ranking of the largest commercial property management companies operating in the tri-county market of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties.

Because the list is built on reported portfolio data rather than nominations or paid placement, it is widely used by property owners, investors and industry professionals as an objective measure of a firm's scale and market presence. It places regional, independently owned firms directly alongside national and global management companies competing for the same assignments.

What Types of Properties Does Berger Commercial Realty Manage?

Berger's managed portfolio spans the three core commercial asset classes, with a balance that reflects the diversity of the South Florida market:

This mix allows the firm's property management team to bring asset-specific expertise to each assignment, whether that means managing a Class A office building in downtown Fort Lauderdale, a multi-tenant industrial park near the airport or a grocery-anchored retail center in Palm Beach County.

What Property Management Services Does Berger Provide?

Berger Commercial Realty offers full-service third-party commercial property management for institutional and private owners throughout South Florida. Services include:

• Day-to-day property operations and tenant relations
• Financial reporting, budgeting and CAM reconciliations
• Lease administration and rent collection
• Vendor procurement, contract management and oversight
• Preventive maintenance and capital project management
• Construction and tenant improvement management
• Insurance, risk management and hurricane preparedness planning

Because Berger also operates one of the region's most active commercial brokerage teams, owners benefit from an integrated approach in which leasing, sales and management work together to maximize occupancy, net operating income and asset value.

Why Do Property Owners Choose an Independent Firm Like Berger?

Founded in 1998, Berger Commercial Realty is one of the largest independently owned and operated commercial real estate brokerage and property management firms in South Florida. That independence means decisions are made locally, senior leadership is directly involved in every account, and service is tailored to each owner's goals rather than a national template.

With offices in Fort Lauderdale and Boynton Beach, the firm's property management professionals live and work in the markets they manage, giving them firsthand knowledge of local vendors, municipalities, tenants and market conditions.
