Our company got its start in 1961 when Clifford Suchman formed Pyms-Suchman Real Estate Co. with Jack Pyms. A graduate of the University of Florida with a real estate degree and a Keyes Company scholarship recipient, Cliff is known as a visionary and pioneer of what is now known as the Dadeland and Kendall areas of Miami, Florida.

Cliff likes to tell the story of when he first went to work for Keyes. They asked him whether he wanted to locate at the Homestead office or the Miami Beach office, and he picked Homestead because it was closer to the Dadeland-Kendall area, which he thought had the greatest potential for growth. Shortly thereafter a desk opened at the Dadeland office. According to Cliff, he “skipped all the way home” knowing that this was the place to be.

Over the next 50 years, Cliff left his fingerprints on the South Dade area of Miami, buying, selling, brokering and syndicating thousands of acres and developing a multitude of product types including apartments, warehouses and shopping centers. Pyms-Suchman Real Estate Co. became one of the largest single-office brokerage companies in South Dade dealing in both commercial and residential properties.
