Specialized Expertise in Hospitality, Gas Stations, & Investment Real Estate
Mital Saraiya is a seasoned Senior Advisor at SVN Alliance Commercial Real Estate Advisors, based in the Ormond Beach, Florida office. With a career spanning over three decades of entrepreneurship and brokerage, Mital has established himself as a premier authority in commercial real estate (CRE) across Volusia and Flagler Counties. His unique background as both a business owner and a broker allows him to provide a 360-degree perspective on complex transactions, ensuring his clients maximize value in every deal.
A Foundation of Global Education and Entrepreneurial Success
Mital’s journey began in Baroda, India, where he attended the prestigious MS University of Baroda, earning his Bachelor of Commerce. This strong academic foundation in finance and trade provided the analytical framework for his future success in the American market.
In 1992, Mital immigrated to the United States, where he immediately entered the private sector. Before becoming a leading broker, he spent years on the front lines of retail operations, owning and managing multiple gas stations and convenience stores. This "owner-operator" experience is the cornerstone of his brokerage philosophy; he understands the granular details of labor, inventory, location scouting, and P&L management—factors that are often overlooked by traditional brokers.
Specialized Real Estate Brokerage & Investment Strategy
Leveraging his personal history as an operator, Mital transitioned into professional real estate brokerage, initially specializing in the niche market of Gas Station and Convenience Store Sales. His reputation for integrity and deep industry knowledge quickly allowed him to expand his portfolio. Today, Mital is a multifaceted specialist with a proven track record in:
Hospitality & Hotels: Navigating the complexities of the lodging industry, from flag changes to cap rate analysis.
Retail & Multi-Tenant Strips: Identifying high-traffic locations and managing lease-up strategies.
Multifamily & Apartment Complexes: Helping investors find value-add opportunities in the Florida residential market.
Self-Storage & Industrial: Tapping into the high-demand sectors of specialized storage and land development.
Foreclosures & Distressed Assets: Assisting clients in navigating the legal and financial hurdles of distressed property acquisitions.
Medical Office & Professional Spaces: Facilitating long-term leases for healthcare providers and corporate tenants.
Local Focus with National and International Reach
While Mital is a dominant force in the Ormond Beach, Daytona Beach, and Flagler County markets, his influence extends far beyond Central Florida. Since joining SVN Alliance in 2017, he has utilized the global SVN platform to cultivate high-level relationships with national REITS and international investors.
Whether a client is looking for a local retail lease or a multi-state hospitality acquisition, Mital provides a bridge to a massive network of buyers and sellers, ensuring every listing receives maximum exposure.
The Client-First Philosophy
In an industry often driven by volume, Mital Saraiya distinguishes himself through dedication and undivided attention. He approaches every transaction with a client-oriented mindset, recognizing that for many, these investments represent a lifetime of hard work.
"My goal is to treat every client's investment as if it were my own. Because I’ve been the owner behind the counter and the manager behind the desk, I see the opportunities and the risks that others miss."
