MSP GROUP, LLC
MIAMI, FLORIDA

The three pillars of INTEGRITY | SERVICE | RESULTS are the foundation on which MSP Group was born and the philosophy that every member of our team is committed to. MSP Group’s success is obviously not due to our size, but rather an unwavering commitment to our mantra that “the Client’s agenda is the ONLY agenda.” MSP Group founders, Deme Mekras and Elliot Shainberg, share their deep experience, market knowledge and industry relationships with their clients. Over the last 14 years, they have closed more than $650,000,000 and 9,800 units in multifamily sales. To date, the duo of Deme Mekras and Elliot Shainberg have closed more than $650,000,000 and over 9,800 units in their careers. Deme and Elliot each began their professional careers in different parts of the country and in different industries, but both began in sales. They learned that hard work and tenacity lead to results. While Deme was selling telecommunications services to small businesses in Miami, Elliot sold payroll solutions to small and medium sized businesses in New York City. Both recent college graduates, they spent their days pounding the phones, beating the pavement and literally knocking on doors. After proving themselves in competitive markets, they turned their attention to real estate, which quickly became their passion. When they each entered the real estate business, neither knew the other existed, but both were hungry to learn and develop. This ambition and thirst for knowledge lead them to entry level positions at Marcus & Millichap, one of the world’s largest commercial brokerage houses. Elliot started with Marcus & Millichap in New York and Deme in Ft. Lauderdale. Shortly after marrying his wife, a South Florida native, Elliot moved to South Florida and joined the Ft. Lauderdale office. Deme and Elliot spent the next 10 years at the firm, earning numerous sales awards, receiving several promotions and helped found the Miami office prior to their departure in 2012. In late 2012, Deme was recruited at the partner level to join Franklin Street, based in Tampa. Deme agreed to open the firm’s Miami office and did so by bringing his team of 4 professionals over with him. Over the next two years, Deme and Elliot established the firm’s brand in the South Florida multifamily sales arena by closing more than $150,000,000 in deals. Despite their success at Franklin Street, the time had come for them to spread their wings and launch their own enterprise. In 2015, Deme and Elliot founded MSP Group and were off to the races. They set out to make MSP Group the most trusted brand in South Florida commercial real estate. To accomplish their mission, they needed a platform that would allow them to truly serve their clients, free from conflicting corporate agendas and toxic work environments. Having left all of the infighting, office politics and bureaucracy behind, Deme and Elliot were free to focus on what they do best…Delivering best-in-class results for their clients!
