Andrew Cantor is a founding partner and a Managing Director of the Leisure Property Advisors team, the national practice group for Colliers specializing in the brokerage of marinas and other leisure focused properties throughout the United States and Caribbean. Andrew works closely with Matt Putnam, Dan Grovatt and Kate Tarokh on the execution of the team’s brokerage assignments. Andrew’s focus is on working with property owners develop a plan for the eventual disposition of their property including helping them understand what their property may be trade for in the market (Broker Opinion of Value), advising ways to enhance the value, helping them who the buyer pool is likely to be, and, when a decision is made to dispose of the property, running a process on their behalf in which buyers compete so that he obtains the best price and terms for them along with the highest probability of closing under those terms.

Andrew brings over 30 years of real estate transaction and advisory experience to Colliers, including over 20 years specializing in marina, golf, RV park and boutique hospitality assets having been involved I over $1 billion in closed transactions.
