HARKINS COMMERCIAL, INC.
LAKE MARY, FLORIDA

Harkins Commercial, Incorporated opened its doors in 1978. Originally conceived as an in-house real estate service for custom home clients of Harkins Development Corporation, Harkins Realty, Inc has today evolved into a comprehensive commercial real estate firm that offers a full range of business-oriented services. Mark Harkins, son of the company’s founder Bill Harkins, brings a background of construction, business, and finance to enhance the expertise required to handle the complex needs of commercial real estate clients and investors. The Harkins family of companies traces its roots back to 1974 when founder C. William Harkins started a small building company from his office in Lake Mary, Florida. At the time, he was already a licensed professional civil engineer, Class A general contractor, and commercially focused real estate broker. Over the past thirty years, the Harkins family of companies has branched into two separate entities. In January of 2006, Mark Harkins joined the team as President of Harkins Commercial, Inc. Shortly thereafter, Mark developed the real estate division into a stand-alone comprehensive commercial real estate firm. Today, Harkins Commercial, Inc. also provides expertise in commercial leasing, tenant representation, property management, and commercial investments. Harkins Commercial, Inc. has become a “one-stop shop” for all owners and investors of real estate, management, and development needs. Bachelor of Arts, Business Administration- December 1999 Mark Harkins is responsible for the everyday duties of Harkins Commercial, Inc. His expertise is long rooted in finance and sales beginning in 1997 with Prudential Securities. To exceed expectations and to be successful in the complex world of financial services takes qualities such as customer focus, understanding needs, problem solving, follow-up, open communication, and resolve. Possessing these qualities, Mark engineered early and rapid success by working directly with portfolio mangers for mortgage backed securities and was promoted through the ranks of a multi-billion dollar company in 2 years to take over as Director of Marketing for Jackson National Life of Southwest Florida. He then became Regional Vice President of Donahue, Maccia, Ray, LLC before becoming the owner of Retirement Income Assurance, LLC a wholesale financial services firm. All of these successes translated into an opportunity to return to Orlando to grow and manage Harkins Commercial, Inc. The transition from finance and sales to real estate was an easy one. Mark found that many of the same type of individuals who bought securities would purchase investments in commercial real estate. Frank Dever joined Harkins Commercial in January 2010. Prior to joining Harkins, Frank served as a founding member and later as Managing Director of the Commercial Investment Group for Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty in Lake Mary, Florida.
