Gallaher\u2019s expertise in retail site identification, investment analysis, and property acquisition made him the perfect candidate for his client, Auto Zone, in which he has a tenured relationship where he recently closed $8 million lease value to open a 39,603-square-foot Auto Zone flagship store in South Dade. Gallaher\u2019s continued dedication to the growth of NAI Miami has also earned him the title of Sales Manager.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Jackie Larkin joined NAI Miami in 2012 as a Marketing Coordinator and has since been promoted to Director of Operations and Marketing.

Currently, women hold about 9% of executive-level management positions in commercial real estate, according to a 2020 Commercial Real Estate Women Network\u2019s benchmark study. \u201cWe are always open for brokers, marketing and sales agents, who are passionate about what they do,\u201d Ms. Larkin said, \u201cand also want to become shareholders and leaders in their own rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Headquartered in the Dadeland Area of Miami, with an additional office in the Doral\/Airport area, NAI Miami has been a market-leading, full-service commercial real estate brokerage firm since 1996, providing exceptional service and expertise in the South Florida Market.
