He brings to the table a 30-year history in the appraisal business, 23 years of which he spent cultivating his expertise at Tropical.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is an important, strategic move for our growing company,\u201d Andrew Wright, Franklin Street CEO &amp;\u00a0managing partner, said in a prepared statement. \u201cWe are now able to seamlessly offer our clients timely and high-quality valuation services in-house, allowing us to be even more competitive in the marketplace. Tropical Realty Appraisal Services has an established brand and solid reputation, giving us instant credibility in that service line.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Formed in 1988, Tropical has built an enviable reputation, providing real estate valuation services across the U.S. via offices in Tampa, Miami, Atlanta and Key West. The transaction permits Franklin Street to establish a footprint in Key West, and expand its existing presence in Tampa, Atlanta and Miami, where it opened an office in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In terms of growth, we are looking to expand our geographic reach and market share in markets where we already have a presence,\u201d Wright told <em>Commercial Property Executive<\/em>.
