Despite inconsistent market conditions and shifts in the commercial and residential real estate sectors over the last three decades, and especially the last several years, Mr. Florance has continued to focus on growth both internally and externally, placing an emphasis on company culture, product innovation, global expansion and capability diversification to better service the firm’s team members and clients.

In addition to his professional achievements, Mr. Florance is dedicated to giving back to the community, with a specific passion for education. Mr. Florance is Chair of the Board of the Cathedral Chapter overseeing the Washington National Cathedral and a member of the Board of Visitors for Virginia Commonwealth University.
