Most brokerages treat commercial real estate as one of many verticals — staffed by generalists who rotate between industries and lack the sector-specific knowledge your portfolio demands.
Franklin Street was built differently. Our entire team operates exclusively within commercial real estate. We understand the nuanced risk profiles of your assets, the regulatory landscapes across jurisdictions, and the market dynamics that drive optimal outcomes.
Franklin Street's full-service commercial real estate DNA gives us insight no stand-alone brokerage can match.
The result isn't just better coverage — it's a fundamentally different level of strategic counsel that protects and enhances the value of your investments through creative program design, aggressive market execution, and a platform built for how you actually operate.
What we do
Four Specialized Teams. One Integrated Commercial Real Estate Approach
Our four dedicated teams collaborate behind the scenes, bringing extensive expertise to every phase of the insurance lifecycle.
Brokerage and Placement
We engineer every renewal through rigorous portfolio and loss analysis, inventive program design, and disciplined negotiation across domestic, London, and reinsurance markets. Every placement is a strategy, not a transaction.
Portfolio Administration
The 364 days between renewals are just as critical as renewal itself. We manage the day-to-day demands of your program, from certificates and invoicing to endorsements, lender compliance, inspections, and policy audits, ensuring nothing is missed and everything stays on tracks.
Acquisitions and Compliance
From pre‑contract premium estimates to due diligence, lender negotiations, and post‑closing compliance, our acquisitions team works alongside your deal teams to ensure insurance is never a bottleneck.
Claims and Risk Management
Our dedicated claims team screens every incident, advocates aggressively with carriers and adjusters, and manages the full lifecycle from first notice through resolution. We also develop risk management strategies and property-level training to reduce future losses
What we deliver
More than a placement. A better resultEvery engagement is designed to deliver the strongest total program, balancing
structure, coverage, and cost rather than chasing a single outcome.
Creative program design
We challenge the status quo every renewal by restructuring layers, reshaping carrier panels, and exploring bifurcated strategies, aggregate retentions, and reinsurance solutions that generalist brokers overlook.
Aggressive market execution
Access to 200+ property and liability markets including direct carriers, wholesale partners, London syndicates, and reinsurers. We leverage concentrated commercial real estate volume for outsized carrier influence.
Analytical rigor
Power BI dashboards, CAT modeling, loss corridor analysis, rate on line evaluation, and peer benchmarking ensure every recommendation is grounded in data, not guesswork.
Long-term strategic advisory
We design multi-year strategies, not one-off placements. Our approach integrates risk retention analysis, claims closing initiatives, and loss prevention programs that build value over time.
Responsive service platform
A turnaround of just 24-48 hours on pre-contract estimates. Weekly pipeline reviews. Defined service timeframes for certificates, invoicing, endorsements, and lender waivers.
Transparency and accountability
Multiple options with clearly outlined pros and cons empower informed decision making. No black boxes. No hidden agendas.
Technology and data built for real estate intelligence

expertise to audit exposure data, develop strategy, track claims, and deliver analytics that drive stronger outcomes.

The Franklin Street Difference
What separates CRE specialists from everyone elseIndustry-Focused
Every resource, relationship, and dollar of intellectual capital is dedicated exclusively to serving commercial real estate owners, operators, and developers
Underwriting Fluency
Our brokers speak real estate. NOI, cap rates, rent rolls, lease structures, construction types, and vintage. Not just insurance jargon. The result is smarter, faster, and more creative placements.
Concentrated Market Leverage
Commercial real estate focused premium volume gives us outsized carrier influence, delivering terms, pricing, and capacity that generalist brokers simply cannot access.
Real Estate Ecosystem
Part of a diversified commercial real estate firm with Investment Sales, Property Management, Capital, and Leasing, delivering insight and collaboration no standalone brokerage can match.
In-Office, Invested Team
Full time, in-office collaboration keeps our teams face-to-face on accounts every day. With key team members as shareholders, our culture is built on ownership, accountability, and long term alignment.
Proactive, Not Reactive
Lender waivers are initiated before renewal. Claims are screened before reporting. Loss prevention strategies and multi year roadmaps keep us operating ahead of problems.
