To achieve the lowest rental rate on your expiring lease you need to have as much market knowledge as possible your landlord certainly will. If you’re a tenant looking to renew or relocate, it’s crucial to understand the current market conditions, a landlord’s obligations, and any potential lease restrictions. And that’s only a small fraction of what you need to know. If you’ll take the time to fill out the request form below we’ll gladly send you a customized Client Educational Package based on your specific needs.

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.

Prior to our meeting in mid-July, we had spent the past 8 months looking at properties in the same market area with another broker. All of the sites that we visited were either too small, too large or required significant modification. Our company was very frustrated and we were worried that our requirements might be too stringent. Everything changed on day one, once you began handling out account. You listened to our requirements and you promptly set up visits that matched our requirements. The whole process was complete and we were in our new office (after slight renovation) on October 3. The Fit was perfect with room for growth and the lease rate was well within our range.

I wanted to take the time to thank you for the help you provided with the recent sale of 110 114 Knob Hill Road. From the beginning, your experience and expertise helped us every step of the way. With two buildings on the site I know this was not a typical sale. However, even though it was complicated your perseverance made the difference, and in the end the results exceeded my expectations. I also appreciated that you took the time, from the very start, to explain your process and strategy. That really put me at ease from day one. You kept me in the loop as you had potential buyers interested. Based on the results and your hands-on approach, I’ll have no problem referring you in the future for similar services. Thanks again for being a broker I can count on.

I am very pleased to write this letter of recommendation for lan Bertolina. lan represented our Charlotte, North Carolina property as broker. He worked very hard to sell our property. As we had few contacts in Charlotte he provided us with reputable, reliable sources in Charlotte to assist us with maintenance, environmental and legal issues. His efforts resulted in a satisfactory conclusion as we were able to sell our property for a good price. We highly recommend lan Bertolina…you won’t be sorry.

Just a quick letter to thank you for your work in finding the perfect home for our business. We had many qualifications for our perfect home, and you were able to search the market and find the right building, at the right price, and of course provide helpful advice to assist with the decision to purchase the building. As a first time commercial building owner, I know I was a demanding customer with the number of questions I asked throughout the process. Your professionalism, ability to educate, and your guidance were critical in helping us close the deal. Goodmortgage.com is now the proud occupant of 44,000 sq ft and we are excited about our next stage of growth- thanks to your help. Please call me if I can be of further assistance or provide a personal recommendation at 704-523-3886 ext. 201.

Please be informed that Ian J. Bertolina of Bertolina Commercial Real Estate Services. Inc., was contracted to represent Braunco Inc., on the sale of om two (2) former manufacturing buildings and land, located in Mooresville North Carolina. We were very satisfied with the amount of real estate information and knowledge presented by Ian that allowed us to determine the proper value of the buildings and resulted in the successful completion of the sale. Mr. Bertolina followed all sales leads and presented all of the many inquiries resulting from his advertisements in local and national media which allowed contacts with multiple potential buyers. He also coordinated contacts and discussions with other real estate brokers to ensure that our building specifications were relayed to interested buyers and followed progress of the sale to the day of closing. We highly recommend Bertolina Commercial Real Estate Services for your real estate needs.

I have had the benefit of working with you on several lease projects in the Charlotte area. My experience was nothing but positive; you made the effort to both learn and understand our operational and financial needs and applied that knowledge in diligent search and negotiation efforts. Your initiative and follow through added significant value to the process and overall the experience and, the bottom line, the result exceed expectations.
