Ken Krasnow serves as Vice Chairman of Institutional Investor Services for the Florida region. In this role, he is responsible for broadening the company’s platform by developing key client relationships, leading major projects and transactions, maintaining senior real estate industry and political relationships and recruiting new talent. Ken brings more than 30 years of acclaimed expertise in the commercial real estate industry, offering an exceptional level of on-the-ground market knowledge. 

Since joining Colliers as Market Leader in 2015, Ken has overseen the tremendous growth of the business from less than two dozen professionals to more than 150 as of year end 2018 during which time the firm acquired high profile companies such as CREC, Pointe Group and MF&Co.  During that same period, revenues more than quadrupled while maintaining solid margins of profitability. 

Krasnow launched his career as a commercial leasing broker and was responsible for more than three million square feet of Class A office building agencies in New York City.  As the markets in Florida continue to rapidly evolve, I am proud to have a responsive approach to management, curating talent and specialties to help us always provide best-in-class service for our clients and community.

As a Director in the Fort Lauderdale office of Colliers International South Florida, Brooke is spearheading our newly expanded specialty practice focused on public institutions. 

With nearly 10 years of public sector experience, her most recent role was serving as Acquisition & Relocation Agent for HDR concentrating on right of way projects in Miami-Dade, Broward and St. Lucie Counties.

Prior to that, Brooke was a member of the CBRE South Florida Occupier team, as an integral part of the City of Fort Lauderdale’s account management team which was responsible for the execution of the City of Fort Lauderdale’s strategic plan, including the evaluation, disposition, repurposing and management of the City’s leased and owned assets. She has also worked with the Public Institution Group representing Martin County and Riviera Beach Community Redevelopment Agency, in addition to four years working for the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District 6.

I am a  native of South Florida and have a decade of experience handling office and industrial leasing and tenant representation services. To date I've completed 225 transactions with total consideration in excess of $250 million. My experience leasing office space in Palm Beach and Broward has equipped me to understand office tenants’ customized needs for space while keeping in mind the perspective of office owners. 

Prior to joining Colliers, I served as the Vice President at Stiles Realty. Prior to that, I worked as a Senior Director of Real Estate at Adler Realty Services, a Director of Corporate Real Estate for the Penn-Florida Companies, and as an office and industrial broker for CBRE. Dustin Ozga joined the Stiles team in 2015 with over a decade of experience in institutional leasing, asset acquisition, land development and corporate services.

Here at Colliers I am a Managing Director of Retail Services with more than 37years of commercial real estate experience. While specializing in retail markets throughout Florida, I’ve earned a reputation as one of South Florida's top commercial real estate professionals.

While I am best known for my representation of financial institutions for their retail locations throughout Florida, I have been involved in the ground-floor launching of numerous national tenants such as Blockbuster Video, Einstein's Bagels, and Boston Chicken. As long-time exclusive representatives for Wells Fargo and its approximate 250 branches in Southeast Florida, my partner, Mike Wilson  and I have provided steady and strategic commercial real estate advisory to the financial services company through various mergers over our 23 year relationship, including their real estate needs after they acquired Wachovia in the largest financial institution merger on record. Additionally, we have represented clients such as Brandsmart, Regions Bank, and Chase. 

Prior to joining Colliers, I served as a Senior Vice President with CBRE. Previously, I was with Commercial Florida Realty Partners, Inc. prior to the company's acquisition by Grubb & Ellis in early 1999, where I subsequently served as a Senior Vice President.
