Tyler Kuhlman is a commercial broker with Marcus & Millichap who specializes in the sale of industrial, office, and retail properties throughout the state of Florida. Originally from Wellington, Florida, Tyler was drawn to Miami’s vibrant energy and young community of like-minded individuals.

Tyler started his career in Real Estate during his Junior year, while attending Florida State. Inspired by friends and family who were in the industry he decided to minor in Real Estate. “They knew my personality and drive would match well with a brokerage” – and they weren’t wrong.

I believe my biggest strength as an entrepreneur is my relentless drive to be better. As entrepreneurs, we completely control our own destiny. I am constantly reevaluating my efforts to ensure I maximize results both professionally and personally.

What kind of buyers do you see being drawn to the Miami market?

Miami is one of the hottest markets in the county currently across all asset types. Miami is now viewed as a major, core market by all investors. The majority of buyers that we deal with are investing for the long-term growth effects that South Florida has to offer. I truly believe our market is still in its infancy stages.

With over 1000 people moving to Florida every day since the beginning of 2020, there is certainly an influx of out of area capital entering our market and looking to make a splash.
