Professional Profile
Jason Stagman has been working in the South Florida real estate market since 1993. Jason graduated from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana in 1992 with a Bachelors Degree. Following graduation, he moved to South Florida and obtained his real estate license. Soon thereafter, he joined the real estate firm Coldwell Banker where he quickly rose through the ranks and became one of the top producing agents in the region.
In 1996, Jason joined Grubb & Ellis. Initially, he worked with investment properties and learned this aspect of the market well. He then moved to Boca Raton and began his office tenant practice. He was enticed to work in this area, because it allowed him the opportunity to find the right space and to negotiate the best business terms in the interest of the tenant while being compensated by the landlord. Through his experience, Jason has acquired immense knowledge about local landlords, the buildings, and the professional office atmosphere in the Broward and Palm Beach markets. He has a vast understanding of commercial lease language and terms, and over the years has developed a comprehensive understanding of counter-responses to heavy-handed lease language. Nearly all real estate leases are written to overwhelmingly favor the landlord. Jason uses his knowledge and experience to balance leases and provide exit strategies for businesses should their direction change. Jason enjoys sharing his knowledge, expertise and guidance with his clients and in obtaining the best building for their needs – negotiated at the best terms achievable. It is this guidance and guardianship that makes going to work each day so meaningful for Jason.
Jason has earned the prestigious Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) designation. Jason works extensively throughout the United States every year in tandem with local expert tenant representatives. Only one percent (1%) of commercial real estate practitioners worldwide have achieved this exclusive certification. The education in the CCIM program has developed Jason’s understanding and abilities when managing sophisticated commercial and investment real estate transactions. Additionally, the CCIM organization, composed of several thousand agents throughout the world, allows for Jason to make referrals confidently to other professionals that have also earned this special designation in different geographic regions, and also locate other experts with whom to partner on projects outside of South Florida. Jason works extensively throughout the United States every year in tandem with local expert tenant representatives.
In 2001, Jason accepted a position with Savitar Properties to handle the leasing of 750,000 SF of commercial space where he represented the interests of several landlords; however, he soon realized that he preferred to represent tenants and negotiate from their perspective. This experience of representing landlords has given Jason an ability to appreciate the landlord’s perspective and use this understanding to negotiate even more effectively on the tenant’s behalf.
In 2002, Jason formed Stagman Commercial Real Estate Advisors to concentrate on tenant and buyer consulting and representation, and in 2006 the company joined the International Tenant Representative Alliance (ITRA), now ITRA Global.
