teamDoral- A RE/MAX Premier Associates Group Awarded CCS Designation

Doral, Florida
Richard Recuset, a Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) with teamDoral – A RE/MAX Premier Associates Group in Doral, Fl has earned the prestigious Certified Commercial Specialist (CCS) designation, having completed extensive training in commercial property evaluation, marketing and negotiations, with a particular emphasis in Office Buildings/Warehouse Sales and Leases. 
At a time when commercial office buildings / warehouse sales are struggling with the possibility of foreclosure and low vacancies, the skills and education amassed by Richard will help benefit Doral area business owners and community. Combining advanced skills for marketing commercial property with the knowledge to help sellers from possible foreclosure or improving a building’s bottom line is a winning combination for owners.
With plummeting property values, teamDoral can save many owners from foreclosure and even bankruptcy. More and more lenders are willing to consider mortgage restructuring because they are much less costly than foreclosures.
“The CCS designation has been invaluable as I work with office building, warehouse owners and lenders on complex and creative transactions,” Richard said. “It is very rewarding to be able to help building owners save their buildings from foreclosure or by attracting good tenants.”
Dan L. Andrews, President of Commercial Real Estate Advisors, LLC and Director of Commercial Business Development with RE/MAX Advantage in Kalamazoo, Michigan, said agents such as Richard  with the CCS Designation have valuable perspective on the market, and training in commercial real estate sales and leases and can offer owner/principles real alternatives to foreclosure, or low vacancies by attracting buyers and tenants to Doral, thereby improving the bottom line.
“These commercial real estate specialists better understand market conditions than the average agent, and can help principle owners  through the complexities of commercial leases and sales,” he said.
The Certified Commercial Specialists training provides live and online courses to train real estate professionals how to help commercial property owners in marketing to sell or lease properties in the quickest amount of time, at the highest price possible, with a strong focus on handling distressed properties and low vacancies.
“Our goal is to help as many commercial property owners as possible, by educating as many commercial real estate professionals as possible,” Dan said. “Richard Recuset and his team-teamDoral, is committed to Doral, and has demonstrated a commitment to struggling commercial property owners, a commitment that can provide much-needed stabilization to commercial real estate in Doral.”

Doral Commercial Market

Airport West Market market conditions are strengthening by latest activities. The demand for industrial space continues to outpace other sectors. As vacancy rates drop, lease rates have begun to increase. Constructing new supply is an option but location and space are scarce.


Doral/Airport West is outperforming other areas, and while the overall market has picked up momentum, the number of 50,000-square-foot to 80,000-square-foot users has been particularly strong over the last three months. 


Miami-Dade County’s industrial market has weathered the economic downturn and is positioned to continue to tighten as leasing activity increases and vacancy rates decrease.
