Prior to joining Colliers National Seniors Housing Group, Damien Carriero was a Regional Director for one of Florida’s largest providers of Medicaid Diversion.

While attending the University of South Florida, he worked as an intern with Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services where he enhanced his underwriting skills and passion for real estate. After graduating he was invited to join Marcus & Millichap’s Sales Intern program. Damien worked with a senior broker in a mentee/mentor capacity. This process usually takes approximately two to three years to complete before individuals are considered qualified to be given Sales Agent status. Damien was able to complete the entire process within two years. After only one year of becoming a Sales Agent, he was presented the Marcus & Millichap’s Rookie of the Year Award.

In 1986 Ken sold his medical research and manufacturing company located in the northeast, moved to Florida and continued as a consultant providing site locations and CON’s for outpatient renal centers. Ken's background provided this career move to quickly advance into the brokering of healthcare properties. Eventually this led to seniors housing becoming a major component of his assignments.
