12 Submarkets.
One Trusted Advisor.
Central Florida isn't one market — it's 12 distinct submarkets, each with its own supply/demand dynamics, tenant base, and investment thesis. Michael R. Linton has closed transactions in every single one.
Why Submarket Knowledge Matters
Two commercial properties two miles apart can trade at completely different cap rates, attract completely different tenant bases, and face completely different growth trajectories. In Central Florida, that submarket-level nuance is the difference between paying market price and overpaying by hundreds of thousands.
Each of the 12 guides below is built from 39 years of Michael Linton's actual transactions in that submarket — not algorithms, not third-party data. Real deals, real lenders, real buyers.

Read Market Guide →Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most active commercial real estate submarkets in Central Florida?
Lake Nona, the I-4 corridor, International Drive, and Lake Mary / Sanford are the most active submarkets by transaction volume. Lake Nona has been the fastest-growing submarket in Florida for the past decade, anchored by Medical City and the residential / tech expansion.
How are cap rates in Central Florida compared to Miami or Tampa?
Central Florida cap rates typically trade 25–75 basis points higher than Miami for comparable assets, with stronger fundamentals (population growth, no rent control, lower cost of doing business) than Miami's gateway market. Tampa and Orlando cap rates are similar across most asset classes; Orlando has a slight pricing premium in multifamily and medical office due to Lake Nona demand.
