Native Realty Adds New CRE Broker To Growing Roster

Native Realty, the Fort Lauderdale-based firm led by Jaime Sturgis, further strengthened the firm’s investment sales and leasing capabilities with the addition of Alex Stevens as Sales Associate. Stevens joins Native as it continues to scale its platform to meet surging client demand across South Florida and beyond.

Stevens enjoys helping commercial real estate clients identify opportunities that align with their goals. He leverages his understanding of market trends, tenant needs and leasing strategies to provide clients with valuable insights and help them make informed investment decisions.

Before transitioning into commercial real estate, Stevens worked as a Project Manager for an asphalt company based in Indianapolis, Indiana. That experience honed his skills in project management, communication and building lasting client relationships, skills he now applies to serving Native’s clients.

“Alex brings a unique perspective shaped by his diverse professional background, and that discipline shows in how he approaches every deal,” Sturgis said. “He is detail-oriented, client-focused and genuinely invested in helping people reach their goals. Alex is a great addition to our team and the culture we have built at Native.”

Stevens said Native’s client-first approach and collaborative environment drew him to the firm.

“Native stood out to me because of the way the team works together and puts clients first,” Stevens said. “There is a real emphasis on long-term relationships over just closing deals, and that philosophy matches how I want to grow as a commercial real estate broker.”

The addition of Stevens reflects Native’s continued momentum across South Florida’s commercial real estate market. The firm just moved up eight spots in the South Florida Business Journal’s annual Commercial Real Estate Brokerages ranking, which is based on the previous year’s transaction volume.

In 2025, Native generated approximately $350 million in transaction volume and surpassed $1 billion in overall closed volume since its inception. Based on its current pipeline and market activity, Native is projected to reach $1 billion in annual transaction volume within the next two years.

To support its continued growth, Native is actively interviewing senior commercial real estate brokers to meet rising demand from its expanding client base. The firm is seeking hungry, self-motivated, top-producing brokers whose passion and work ethic align with Native’s collaborative, high-performance culture.
