SRS Real Estate Partners is pleased to welcome Will Crowden as senior vice president in the South Florida office. He focuses on tenant and landlord representation, specializing in retail site selection and the sale and leasing of retail properties.
With a reputation of being a national retail specialist, Will joins SRS with 21 years of experience representing both established and emerging brands in their national, regional, and new market roll-out plans.
