Thank you again for your efforts with selling our Charlotte facility I appreciated your patience and guidance as we resolved the many difficult issues the building presented us during the sales process Now the contracts are closed and I would not hesitate to recommend your service to any future commercial property sellers.
I had the pleasure of working with lan Bertolina during our search for a suitable property when relocating our Charlotte, North Carolina Showroom ian’s help was invaluable 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.
It was a pleasure working with you in the purchase of 400 E.Arrowhead Dr. I and Thafseera would like to thank you for patiently working with us in this project from start to finish all the while helping us understand the process and simplifying for us the complexities involved in procuring a commercial space. At the end we are glad we had you as the realtor and we thank God for the right place He put us in. Once again thank very much. I look forward to working with you in future projects.
In the early 80’s the state was buying right of way for theIndependence Expressway, I needed areal-estate agent that I trusted to help locate asuitable property for my business. Iinterviewed several and was impressed with Ian’s professional manor and helpfulattitude. He soon located a number of properties and we settled on the Thrift Road location. The building size was good but it needed to beuplifted for retail. Ian helped with getting anarchitect and building contractor tocustomize the building for our needs. In 2014 at age 74 Idecided it was time to retire. I again called on my friend Ian to list my property for sale. Heonce again guided me through the process. Heresearched the best asking price for the property and soon was showing the property always advising me in advance due to the fact that I wanted tocontinue with my retail business as long aspossible. Early last year we had two good offers within the same week. Wedecided on the best highest offer. Ian then worked with the buyer and his agent andnegotiated a lease back for three months that allowed me tohave a going out of business sale and move the remaining inventory into a warehouse. I would be happy to speak to anyone consideringusing Ian as an agent. I’m sure that you will be happy with his service and will consider him not only as an agent but a trusted friend.
Thank you also for your contribution to solving our building needs. From your first presentation to your last visit, your concern and professionalism helped us make sense of a complex, and sometimes discouraging, process. We’re delighted with the results. The new building is everything we hoped for when we started looking a year ago.
I would like to place on record your most helpful assistance from the beginning when we decided to look for a larger location. It was with your assistance that we finally decided to move to Arrowridge Boulevard and we much appreciated your positive help in arranging the Lease for us on favorable terms and then ensuring that the layout of the new premises was to the required design and standards.
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.
Thank you again for all you have done to make our move not only comfortable but possible. Even with a small company like ours, having a professional like you to guide us through the steps is absolutely essential. We greatly appreciate your conscientiousness and reminders of the many things that we had to do. Any time we can recommend to prospects your services, don’t hesitate to let us know as we will give you the highest recommendation.
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.
