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.

I wanted to thank you again for the very successful and expeditious sale of my client’s commercial property in Charlotte. I had received a referral to you from another broker, and your performance has borne out their recommendation. Throughout the process you were readily available, were helpful and forthright with your marketing and pricing advice, and always stayed in communication with me as to the progress of advertising, inquiries and showings. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone in need of commercial brokerage services in your area. Please feel free to share this letter with others to whom you feel it might be useful.
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.
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.

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.
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.
I want to take this opportunity to thank you for all you did to assist us in relocating our office in Charlotte. You were always available, and always very accommodating when it came to coordinating details for me. It was definitely not an easy task tracking me down as I traveled the country. I must say, you never gave up, and persevered through many adversities. It came together, and thanks to you, we have a very satisfied staff.
