POWER BROKERS: Dan O'Berski

Dan O'Berski formed Trinity Commercial Group Inc. in 2011, just as Southwest Florida was emerging from the longest and deepest economic recession in 70 years.

In the five years since, Trinity's managing broker has not only established himself but his Estero-based firm, which now has 22 employees, as well. O'Berski was named a Top Sales Broker, and colleague Doug Olson was listed among the area's most prolific retail agents.

Trinity also garnered slots as a top leasing and sales firm in 2015. Collectively, the firm completed more than 110 commercial deals last year, for tenants such as convenience store Wawa and Fifth Third Bank.

“In 2015, everybody seemed to have a lot of confidence in the market,” he says. “There were a lot of users out looking, and as greater availability of capital that could be secured by those users.”
