MIAMI—Hernando Perez has joined Franklin Street's Miami office as director of multifamily investment sales. He specializes in brokering the sale of multifamily properties in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties.

Before joining Franklin Street, Perez served as sales manager for Marcus & Millichap's Fort Lauderdale, Florida and Fort Worth, Texas offices. During his career, he has overseen the underwriting, marketing and closing of hundreds of commercial real estate transactions across all major product types valued at more than $1 billion.

“We believe that cap rates will remain stable for the next 12 to 18 months,” Perez tells GlobeSt.com. “Owners will start to think about selling while interest rates are still low. Now may be the right time for owners to look at options such as refinancing, property evaluation or selling. The options are endless.”

Perez works with private investors to buy and sell multifamily buildings ranging in size between 10 and 100 units and range in price between $1 million and $10 million on average. His goal will be to create a significant size team of multifamily associates for Franklin Street's South Florida operations.
