Commercial Real Estate, Backed by the Nicklaus Name
Office. Retail. Industrial. Multifamily. Land. The Nicklaus Vance Commercial Division handles Landlord representation, Tenant representation, and investment sales across Palm Beach, Martin, and St. Lucie counties.
Most Commercial Real Estate Deals Fail for the Same Few Reasons
Your property sits. Every vacant month costs you taxes, insurance, and maintenance on an asset earning nothing.
You take a low offer because you're tired of waiting, not because it's the right one.
You overpay as a Buyer or Tenant because your agent only shows you their own inventory.
You sign something that costs you for years. A lease clause, a zoning issue, an environmental problem nobody flagged.
Your situation is more complicated than a standard listing, and most agents don't know what to do with that.
The gap between a passive agent and the right one isn't service level. It's real money.
The Nicklaus Vance Name, Working for You
Nicklaus Vance was founded in 2003 by Michael Nicklaus, son of golf icon Jack Nicklaus, together with Todd Vance. The firm is still family owned, still run on the standards Jack and Barbara instilled in Michael: charity, commitment, hard work, integrity, and excellence. In 2025, Nicklaus Vance represented the off market sale of a $97 million North Palm Beach property, the fourth largest residential sale in the country that year. That's the kind of trust that takes decades to build, and it's working behind every commercial assignment through the firm.
Casey Prindle, Commercial Division
Before real estate, I spent years in finance and banking in Boston, New York, and Miami. When the mortgage backed securities market collapsed in 2008, I was asked to get licensed and represent a Distressed Asset Real Estate Fund across Florida. That initially resulted in commercial real estate acquisitions across multiple property types, taking a $40 million portfolio of distressed notes from courthouse to resale, then representing Fannie Mae and major banks in REO disposition. Since 2009, I've closed investment sales in excess of 1 million square feet, and I've been qualified in Miami-Dade County Courts as an Expert Real Estate Witness.
The combined pitch: You get the name recognition and institutional trust of a firm connected to one of the most respected figures in this country, and a single broker who personally underwrites your deal and answers your calls. Big firms make you choose between credibility and personal attention. With us, you don't have to.

The Real Cost of the Wrong Agent
Sell too low, and you can’t get that money back. List with the wrong agent, and you lose more money every month the property sits unsold. Buy or Lease without real market knowledge, and you overpay for years, not once. Sign the wrong Lease Clause, and it can cost six figures over the initial term before anyone notices.
Picture This Instead
Imagine your property sold at full value to a buyer who's actually qualified, not just available. Imagine your vacant space filled with a tenant who's the right long term fit, on terms that protect you for years. That's the difference working with the right company makes.
Real Results
I took over a ground floor retail listing in a building on the Intracoastal. The building is located in an upscale section of Fort Lauderdale, a great location that had sat unsold for a full year because of limited parking, an awkward office layout, and an underlying mortgage that meant it had to sell close to asking. Rather than keep marketing it as office space, I reimagined the layout as dressing rooms and brought in a client I had represented in a Lease transaction. They are a custom wedding dress maker who needed exactly this kind of space. One month, and one SBA loan later, the deal closed at the number the seller needed. A very favorable outcome with both buyer and seller thrilled with the result.

Yes, absolutely. Every property we list goes on the MLS and commercial portals and is made available to all brokers, because the goal is getting your property in front of the largest qualified pool of buyers or tenants, not controlling who sees it.
How do I get started?
Schedule a free, no obligation consultation. We'll talk through your goals and timeline, then walk your property or tour available space together before recommending a strategy.
How is my property valued, or what will it lease for?
The answer depends on recent comparable Sales or Leases in your specific submarket, not a formula.
