Managing Director, Transworld Commercial Real Estate
As one of the largest business brokerage firms in the world, Transworld Business Advisors has more than 40 years of expertise in dealing with all business transactions, from main street business sales to large-scale mergers and acquisitions.
With 25 years of commercial real estate expertise, seasoned broker and former practicing attorney Alan Kaye was well prepared to take the helm in the newly conceived commercial division as Transworld’s Florida Managing Director for Commercial Real Estate. Kaye’s vast industry experience has resulted in more than $1 billion in commercial real estate transactions.
“Transworld’s competitive market advantage enables us to create maximum value for the business, whether local small businesses or mergers and acquisitions, all while maximizing the value of the real estate as well,” Kaye says. “Sometimes, because of the emotional attachment owners have towards the business they have spent years growing, they have an unrealistic expectation of its true value. By getting clients more money for the real estate, we have been able to bridge the gap between their expectations and market value.”
In 2021, Kaye was involved in the sale of the iconic Mai-Kai Polynesian Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale. As the restaurant was non-operational due to a roofing issue, Transworld was able to achieve more for the real estate, finding the perfect buyer to rebuild the restaurant with plans to build a Polynesian-themed hotel on the surplus land.
“This deal represented the benefits our clients receive every day by having Transworld be the single point of contact to represent them, as opposed to dealing with one firm for the business, and one for the real estate,” Kaye reflects.
