Testimonials
“During our recently completed $29M acquisition that the Vaught-Hurrell Industrial Team was selling in Polk County, I never once had to speak directly to the seller. Ryan and his team demonstrated their intimate knowledge of the project from the initial presentation of the acquisition opportunity through answering intricate questions during the due diligence period. Post-acquisition, we hired the team to lease the 426,000- square-foot portfolio.”

“When Ryan Vaught and his team represent our projects, I know the project receives the attention it needs. They allow us [developer] to focus on the other important aspects of development while his team handles the leasing and selling…basically what I tell people is that you are the man.”

Their work ethic, mastery of our business and it’s drivers, boots on the ground knowledge and connectivity, and use of technology to better educate and prepare our team has been invaluable as we grow.

“We recently worked with the Vaught-Hurrell Industrial Team on the acquisition of the Tri County Business Park (approximately 676K square feet) in Tampa that closed in December 2017. Their in-depth market knowledge, professionalism, and work ethic from due diligence through closing facilitated a smooth transaction and a successful leasing campaign starting day one. I’d highly recommend their team for any assignment in the Central Florida market.”

“Over the past six months, Ryan Vaught and Robyn Hurrell have been a pleasure to work with. Every broker in the world promises exceptional service, but this team has delivered. Reporting and responsiveness have been excellent. The true differentiating factor Ryan and Robyn bring to the table is an ownership mindset. Their leasing, marketing and construction suggestions have all had a positive effect on the performance of our investment. I would confidently recommend them to any industrial owners in the Tampa area.”

The team’s market knowledge, combined with their dedication and enthusiasm, are just a few key elements why we keep turning to Ryan and team on our projects.”

“The Colliers Tampa team did a phenomenal job of jumping onto our assignment and truly investing in the success of ownership. They took an immediate interest in our asset strategy, execution plan, and overall market positioning. By understanding our goals and intentions, they carefully crafted a plan to present the building in its best light, leading to a competitive lease up environment and a Landlord’s dream scenario; the choice between two phenomenal transactions. Without question Ryan and Robyn are in the top tier of brokers we’ve worked with across our portfolio and we relish the opportunity to work with them again in the future.”

“Ryan and Robyn quickly responded to my request for a meeting. Their questions about selling one of our commercial properties was on point. Shortly after the meeting, they provided a very detailed market analysis. Being overly impressed with their thoroughness, I knew this was the right team for me! Within a matter of weeks, we had an offer and these two showed their professional strengths and guided me through the process. In less than 90 days we closed on the property and I could not be more pleased. Ryan and Robyn will be my first call in future real estate transactions!”

“I have known Ryan and Robyn for three plus years. During that time, we have pursued dozens of off-market value-add opportunities, relying on Ryan’s local market expertise to seek out opportunities and drive value through leasing.
Most recently, we called on Ryan and the team to assist High Street Realty Co. in our pursuit of an off-market opportunity. The investment was a 3 building, 194,000-square-foot multi-tenant industrial park. During the underwriting phase of acquisition, I worked closely with both leasing and property management teams, evaluating the market rents, leasing velocity and improvements in operational efficiencies to bring increase in-place rents to market.
From day-one, the entire team became an extension to the High Street team. Their willingness to become and stay personally involved with the project and each tenant has been vital to the success of the project.”

“You guys were terrific! You particularly excelled in a few areas where I believe you truly showed the difference between you and ANYONE else I’ve ever dealt with in similar situations. First off, Ryan was able to understand that in our particular situation the sale carried an emotional aspect as well as a financial aspect. He also managed the volatile temperament of his client (ME) and in fact more than just managing it, he was even able to leverage it when possible and diffuse it when necessary. I was also incredibly impressed with your thorough market research and knowledge, but once again, the extra you guys brought by listening to what I knew about the situation and helping us work together to leverage the situation to more than maximize the property’s potential truly separates you guys. Of course, all of that mattered because you were fundamentally able to bring buyers to the table and then to get the deal closed!”

“Proficient, tenacious, committed. These are just the initial traits that come to mind when I think of Ryan Vaught and his team. The first deal I brought to Ryan was miniscule. But he treated it like it was his most important contract and implemented some of the best negotiation skills I have witnessed, to date. His work ethic is above reproach and his willingness to go above and beyond for his clients is what sets him apart in today’s real estate industry.”

“Robyn is just an amazing person, energetic, passionate and highly committed to her profession. I was looking for a warehouse with very specific requirements for our industry type and she was diligent in her search, providing a healthy sampling of options in the market. Robyn continuously put herself in my shoes when it came to making decisions, and even sometimes cautioned me on locations I favored with supportable commentary. Robyn and her team will be always my 1st choice with any future business needs and will be my 1st recommendation for my entire network.”
