ORLANDO-Equity Investment Services, a boutique real estate investment advisory firm, has inked 16 leases in the last 60 days. The flurry of activity is notable, but perhaps more notable is the success of the firm’s aggressive strategy in a down market.

“Our approach is really proactive, and we track every deal that comes through,” Christopher Savino, managing director of Equity Investment Services, tells GlobeSt.com. “About half of these deals were done through either cold calling or going door to door. That’s the only strategy we’ve ever known.”

Of the 16 leases, 13 were new leases and three were lease renewals. The deals totaled more than 30,200 square feet of space. Notable leases include 3,000 square feet leased to Spin City at Skyview Plaza on Highway A1A, 2,600 square feet leased to a regional beauty supply chain located at South Trail Plaza, and 2,400 square feet leased to Kidz College on Old Winter Garden Road. Other notable tenant signings include Metro PCS, Edward Jones, and Travel Exclusive.
