About Me

Gary Montour joined Colliers International in 1983 and has consistently been one of North Florida’s Top Producing Commercial Brokers. He completes 40-50 to transactions per year and has  been a consistent top 5 performer in the North Florida Colliers International Florida office.

Gary has closed deals ranging from small leases, through medium and large sales and lease transactions, to the largest of investment sales. His $30 million multi-property investment deal in 2007 was the one of the biggest among 10,000 Colliers brokers.

Prior to joining Colliers Gary spent 9 years as a college professor, men's Intercollegiate Division I Baseball coach, men's Intercollegiate Division II Tennis coach and an athletic department administrator. These experiences helped provide insight into Gary's unique "team oriented" commercial real estate business model.

Gary has spent 30 years developing and promoting the "team concept" in commercial real estate, growing from one personal assistant to training 4 junior agents (now top performers). The junior agents now assist him in handling many property listings and dozens of tenant representation assignments. Leveraging Gary's talents with his experienced agents have made "Team Montour" one of the most powerful commercial brokerage groups in the state of Florida. His sales pitch to those seeking his services is "why hire one broker when you can hire several "experienced" brokers working for the same fee. 

Gary has extensive experience in asset valuation, management, investment strategies, asset disposition, site selection, purchase negotiations, as well as financial and market analysis. He understands the development process from the ground up because he has purchased, owns, and manages, with the help of his team, various commercial single tenant properties for his own personal portfolio. He works closely with engineers, architects, and understands the entire development and lending process. This knowledge is critical in helping a variety of property owners (leasing, sale, and management activities). Gary is clearly a broker (not a developer) who has developed some small commercial assets and is not a competitor for his clients.

Q2 2021 Jacksonville Retail Market Report

Jacksonville’s retail market today is much stronger than one might think possible given we are still recovering from the pandemic. Leasing interest is strong, and tours are frequent. Unfortunately for those interested in purchasing or leasing a building, inventory is extremely limited. During the depths of the pandemic, most landlords elected to work with tenants, providing them the relief they needed to survive. Today, most of those tenants remain in place, operating under modified lease agreements. That said, tenant sales volumes have still not completely recovered, which means landlords do not have as much pricing power as they typically would in this tight of a market. Construction costs are also making it challenging for buildout intense uses to make sense of new locations. For this reason, second generation spaces – particularly restaurants – are in very high demand.

2020 Q4 Northeast Florida Retail Market Report

Market rent has been flat for most of the year and is showing signs of retracing some of this cycle’s gains.
