Karen E. Matroni has been in the commercial real estate field since 1995. She started her career in central Florida with her family\u2019s companies, a shopping center development company and a leasing and property management organization.  During this time, she was one of the youngest people to earn her Certified Shopping Center Manager (CSM) designation from ICSC. When her family sold their portfolio, she went to work for another shopping center owner, Tricon Development, as their head of property management and leasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking for new challenges, Ms. Matroni relocated to south Florida where she worked for a variety of property owners. She chose to work with the largest property management firm in Palm Beach County, NAI Merin Hunter Codman, where she was Senior Property Manager for a 700,000 square foot portfolio of shopping centers and office buildings. When the opportunity to step into the General Manager position with the Promenade at Coconut Creek presented itself, she welcomed the chance to oversee this luxury lifestyle mixed use project and help it to maintain its place as the premier shopping destination in Coconut Creek, Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms. Matroni is a commercial real estate expert who knows the intricacies of the Florida real estate market. She has extensive experience in interacting with property owners, contractors, financial institutions, insurance companies, appraisers and city officials. Her experiences over the years include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Settling ADA legal issues<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Testifying in complex CAM reconciliation litigation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Her experience with all aspects of property management and leasing have come from the relationships she has maintained throughout her career.  Commercial real estate is a people business.  Ms. Matroni\u2019s knowledge base is an aggregate of her experiences with people in every facet of the industry, from janitorial bidding to the sale process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
