Experienced Retail Services Team Joins Colliers Central Florida

A retail services team with more than 25 years of combined experience has joined Colliers in Central Florida, expanding the firm’s retail services platform in Florida. Blake Hunter and Robby Holihan have joined Colliers as executive vice presidents and will form a new retail brokerage team – joined by Yessenia Marcof of Colliers, who is transitioning from senior client services specialist to associate and entering brokerage production – serving clients throughout Central and West Florida.

The team will provide a comprehensive range of retail real estate services, including tenant and landlord representation, agency leasing, site selection, development advisory and strategic consulting.

“Blake and Robby bring complementary experience, strong market relationships and a proven track record of delivering results for retail clients,” said Alex Evans, senior managing director and West/Central Florida market leader for Colliers. “Their addition strengthens our retail services capabilities across Central and West Florida and positions the team to capitalize on continued growth opportunities throughout the Florida market.”

Hunter and Holihan were previously at SRS Real Estate Partners, where Hunter served as executive vice president and principal and Holihan served as senior vice president and principal.

Hunter joins Colliers’ Orlando office after 20 years with SRS Real Estate Partners. During his career, he’s advised national and regional retailers, restaurants, developers and property owners on strategic growth initiatives, market entry, site selection, and sale and lease negotiations. He represents brands such as Texas Roadhouse, First Watch, Portillo’s, Bojangles, Mission BBQ, Bubba’s 33, Fresh Kitchen, PDS Health (Pacific Dental) and Discount Tire, among others.

“Joining the Colliers family was appealing because it offers the scale, resources and global platform to take the business I’ve built over the past 20 years to another level,” said Hunter. “I’m excited to pair that platform with a dedicated team, including Robby Holihan and Yessenia Marcof, to continue delivering best-in-class results for our clients and building something special for the future.”

Holihan has more than six years of commercial real estate experience spanning retail brokerage, development, financial analysis and technology integration. While at SRS Real Estate Partners, he advanced from associate to senior vice president. He was named a Top Producer in 2024 and 2025 and earned the firm’s Rising Star award in 2022. Among Holihan’s notable accomplishments is his work on the Dutch Bros Coffee rollout across Central Florida.

“When looking at other firms, Colliers quickly became the most appealing, as it solved for a variety of needs: it allowed us to collaborate with best-in-class existing teams, provide us adequate resources to scale our business, and to do it all with people we consider friends as opposed to colleagues,” said Holihan.

Hunter and Holihan are both active members of the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC). Holihan has also completed advanced training in real estate financial modeling and ARGUS, and he is an active member of the Urban Land Institute (ULI).
