My father and I appreciate all your hard work on the sale of our commercial property in Charlotte. We know what a tough sell you were up against as the building required at least $75,000 in repairs and updating. Meanwhile, to compound things, we had to overcome multiple break-ins that caused a further degree of difficulty to sell a damaged structure due to copper theft. We certainly hope to work with you in the near future! Thank you again for your good service and be well.

Ian helped us sell our office building this summer and my partner and I were bothvery pleased with the guidance he provided us during the process. He was theultimate professional in his dealings with us, has a great command of theCommercial Real Estate landscape in Charlotte, and was very pleasant to work with.His advice was both knowledgeable and insightful from the beginning of our processthrough the closing. I would recommend him without reservation to anyoneconsidering a transition involving Commercial Real Estate, whether purchasing orleasing the space.

We appreciate your involvement throughout the process. Your organization of the alternative site selection process, requirements and contracting terms saved us time and strengthened our negotiating posture. Once we had determined the three finalists, your taking the lead in the negotiation, I am convinced, helped us substantially reduce our rental expense. Our cost per square foot and the lease you negotiated will not approach the cost per square foot that we were paying under the old lease until the third year. I know there were some market pressures coming to bear; however, I cannot help but be convinced that your knowledge and negotiating expertise very much helped in this process.

Our requirements were very specific and Ian showed a remarkable talent for listening and addressing our needs. His communication skills proved to be a tremendous asset during our search and subsequent negotiations. lan was consistently responsive to our problems. Phone calls were returned quickly and !an’s answers were always complete and accurate. The level of professionalism lan possesses made finding the right property a much easier task. It was a great relief to have someone we could trust working on our behalf. lan would be an asset to any organization and I am happy to give him my wholehearted endorsement.

Frankly, this is the most pleasant brokerage experience of my career.You made a lengthy and cumbersome process easy for me, which iswhat most brokers fail to accomplish. You were never late, neverfailed to keep commitments and never permitted the poor interpersonal skills of others to cause you to respond in kind. In Short, yourservices carry my highest personal and professional recommendation.

You were always easily accessible to us during our hunt for the perfect place and did a great job of listening to our needs and showing us properties that filled those requirements. As someone who had never coordinated a move before, I can tell you it was so nice to have you there to guide me through something that was very foreign to me. I felt like you sincerely had our best interest in mind throughout the whole process and that you negotiated a very fair deal for us. I would definitely recommend you to any business looking to relocate.
