Dave Baltar, Central Florida’s authority on single tenant net lease (NNN) retail investments, joined the LQ Commercial Orlando team in early 2025.

He made the strategic decision to join the “LQ Crew” in order to expand its Capital Markets coverage with thirty years of experience.

This includes underwriting and valuation consultancy, as well as acquisition / disposition / portfolio representation.

As LQ’s Senior Broker Associate, he applies an encyclopedic knowledge of Central Florida’s commercial investment market toward the exclusive representation of retail and restaurant sales.

This expertise (including complex negotiation and taxation) stems from an impressive:

• Five-year career as Garito & Company’s Broker Associate.

• Three years as Director of Real Estate with Ruby Tuesday.

• Seventeen years as Darden Restaurants‘ Tax Manager.

These commanding roles encompassed everything from overseeing acquisitions, dispositions, relocations, and/or lease renegotiations of 2,000 properties and $80 million in tax liability.

Dave sets the standard for client satisfaction. When Central Florida owners need absolute certainty in Single Tenant Net Lease transactions, they turn to him because he’s been in their shoes.
