Dade City, FL
Commercial real estate in Dade City, done with local judgment.
Dade City is a small historic market with growing corridor pressure. Tampa comparables and online estimates miss it. Good decisions here come from local knowledge, realistic underwriting, and clear objectives.
I help owners, business buyers, and investors evaluate commercial property in Dade City and the surrounding part of Pasco County. That includes selling an existing asset, buying a building for a business, evaluating development land, or underwriting a commercial investment.
My office is here, on 7th Street. The work starts with what you need the property to do, then tests what the property and the market can support.

Common Questions About Dade City
What types of commercial real estate are available in Dade City?
Dade City has a mix of historic Main Street retail, small-office space, light industrial, development land, and agricultural-adjacent property. Because the market is small, the right opportunity often comes through relationships and off-market knowledge.
How fast is Dade City growing?
The U.S. Census Bureau estimates Dade City's population at 10,173 as of July 1, 2025, up 42.4% from 7,275 in the 2020 Census. The University of Florida's BEBR estimates 10,206 as of April 1, 2025.
Is Dade City a good place to invest in commercial real estate?
Dade City sits in the path of growth along the I-75 and SR 52 corridor. It's a low-volume market. It can offer better basis, less competition, and more flexible sellers than larger metros. Any investment still needs to be underwritten on its own income, lease risk, and exit.
Who should I talk to before selling a commercial property in Dade City?
Someone who knows the local zoning, comparable sales, buyer pool, and entitlement landscape. A Dade City property may appeal to a different buyer than a similar property in Tampa, so marketing and pricing should reflect that.
Do you work outside Dade City?
Yes. I work commercial property across Dade City, Zephyrhills, San Antonio, and Wesley Chapel, and take assignments throughout Pasco County and Greater Tampa Bay.
