Our Headquarters

Location is paramount in commercial real estate. It's what led John Harshman to purchase an iconic Sarasota School of Architecture building on Main Street at Orange Avenue for the company's offices in 1998, years before Sarasota's downtown evolved into a vibrant and thriving urban center. Today, Harshman's prescient purchase stands as a testament to his understanding of market direction.

What some of our clients have to say about us

Harshman & Company acted as agent when we bought the 6.2 cares that became the CitySide apartment complex. John guided us through a very complicated transaction, using his extensive network of business contacts to help us both pre-purchase and post-purchase.

John’s insight and market knowledge was simply invaluable to our firm in the decision making process as it relates to entering the Sarasota marketplace.

We have been working with John Harshman for over 20 years and are very pleased with his services.  Living out of state, it is essential that we have someone who we can trust to manage our properties well.  John maintains a good relationship with our tenants and makes sure that repairs get done in a timely fashion.  We highly recommend John Harshman.

They have handled numerous real estate transactions on my behalf, including the sale and purchase of several office buildings, undeveloped land, and leased commercial properties. I have never known or worked with a more professional and knowledgeable company.  Quite simply, John Harshman is a man of great integrity.” - David Shapiro
