Reinhold P. Wolff Economic Research, Inc. has been serving the consulting and research needs of business, industry, and government in Florida for over 47 years. The firm is one of the best known and most widely quoted economic research firms in Florida.

The firm was founded in 1961 by Dr. Reinhold P. Wolff, a nationally recognized economist and business analyst. Dr. Wolff brought to the firm over 35 years experience in economic research as a professor of economics at the University of Miami. During his tenure at UM, Dr. Wolff founded and directed the Bureau of Business and Economic Research. In 1974 Dr. Wolff retired. At that time, L. Keith White became President and owner of the firm.

Mr. White brought to the firm an expertise in real estate analysis. Particularly well versed in market feasibility and land use issues, he has directed studies for many billions of dollars worth of real estate throughout the State of Florida. Mr. White is acknowledged as one of the foremost real estate economists.

Reinhold P. Wolff Economic Research, Inc. recognizes the need for real estate consultants to be familiar with the area in which a proposed development is located. By conducting original research and publishing regular reports based thereon, we are better able to respond quickly and effectively to our clients’ research needs. We maintain up-to-date research facilities at our office in Pompano Beach and collect original (primary) research data on a quarterly basis. This allows us to commence work immediately on each assignment.

We are already familiar with the area and have basic research data on hand. There is little mystery to the development of reliable solutions to the market and economic questions requiring research and analysis. The research professional needs a sound understanding of the problem, timely knowledge of the local economy, and the ability to work quickly under pressure. The trained professionals at Reinhold P. Wolff Economic Research, Inc. apply tested methods of market research and analysis to answer each clients’ needs.


We are pleased to meet with you, without charge, to discuss your research needs and to submit a written proposal specifying the scope of our services and fees related thereto. In most instances, our fees are quoted on a flat rate schedule so that you will know the exact total fee in advance of authorizing the research. Timing for the completion of research is often as important as the fee.

We are geared to responding quickly to your needs and will give you a time frame for the study in advance of implementation. We have a reputation of delivery on schedule. We do not, however, conduct studies where the fee is in any way tied to the results of the research or is contingent upon the sale of property or which in any way could be construed as impacting on our freedom to reach appropriate, independent conclusions. Naturally, all communication with prospective clients is held in strict confidence and the final reports belong solely to the client.
