“Our clients come back to us
for many reasons. 
These are just a few.”

Voices of Our Clients

The best part of providing excellent service is a satisfied client.  Over the years, we have received many positive comments on our work as individuals and as a company from our corporate clients.  We would like to share some of them with you, because long-term clients with multiple assignments account for 80% of our business.  We would be happy to add your comments.

“Our clients are the best assets
on our balance sheet.”

AEGON/Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company
You provided excellent brokerage services, showing us all available office space that suited our needs, helping us choose the best location, then vigorously negotiating the business terms of the lease on our behalf.

Airbus Industries
They were the key to the overall success of our new training facility.  They worked closely with us to understand our business requirements and created a building with a look and feel that reflects our company and its values. The building combines the practicalities of our business with a creative flair that has provided a very pleasant working environment.

American Express
You built enormous trust as an advocate for us without fear of the landlord and with a singular focus on American Express in negotiating the best possible deals.

American Marine Holdings
You demonstrated a working knowledge of our industry and our real estate needs.

Anti-Defamation League
It is hard to find the right words to express our appreciation and gratitude to you.  Without your dedication, follow-through and availability through this ordeal, I don't think we could have survived.  Your good counsel and willingness to always go the extra mile really saw us through.

Bazinsky & Korman
You had a difficult task.  We were not sure where we wanted to be or whether we should lease or own.  You took us to see a varied selection of properties.  By doing this, you educated us, and we became aware of what we liked and what we didn’t like.  You submitted lease proposals to several landlords on our behalf.  As we negotiated the lease, your counsel was invaluable by recommending what was reasonable and what wasn't.  After some vigorous negotiations, we signed a lease that we are quite pleased with.

Bertram Yachts
To companies that want competent work, we want you to know that they delivered.

Chris Craft Industries
They created a culture of collaboration with our project team.

Citigroup
They always looked out for our interests and always did the right thing.  There were no hidden agendas between landlord and tenant.

Clear Channel Communications
You provided excellent service and were able to find a buyer quickly.  We were pleased with the results of your efforts, and we would not hesitate to use you again.

David K. Blattner, PA/Blattner Title
They searched the local market for available space and showed us all options that suited our needs.  As we moved forward with the transaction, they helped us negotiate a great rental rate and construction allowance and worked through various issues relating to the leasing and move-in process.  They managed negotiations with several potential landlords simultaneously.  We are very pleased with the results and would definitely recommend them to any company relocating offices or requiring the services of a real estate service provider.

DMJM + Harris
We very much appreciate your advice on matters we had not even considered.  You made the relocation seamless.

Dorbyl Ltd
Your recommended space-utilization standards and analysis of revenue, head count and space demand allowed us to commit to the correct amount of space and plan for our anticipated growth.

Empire Air Center Division of Israel Aircraft Industries, LTD
Your industry knowledge of location factors (i.e., available labor, prevailing wages, employee turnover, housing costs and availability, employee security, business taxes and economic incentives) enabled you to manage the process superbly.

First Data
They take their fiduciary very seriously and went the extra mile for our priorities and needs.

Gannett
Your exceptional services saved us four times your fee.

Gelber and Company Certified Public Accountants
You diligently advised us of all market alternatives, helped us analyze all potential sites, and worked hard to negotiate the best deal possible.  Your market knowledge and negotiation skills were extremely helpful.  We would use your services in the future, and I am happy to recommend that others use you as well.

Gelch Taylor Hodgkin Kopelowitz and Ostrow
You provided excellent service and helped us locate an excellent building, which we purchased for our future relocation.  Your insight and market knowledge were extremely helpful, and we recommend your services highly.

Greenberg Traurig
Your absolute understanding of total occupancy costs and build-design efficiency demonstrated an 11% savings in square footage and controlled our long-term occupancy costs.

IBM
Your recommendations were truly discerning and based on our initial criteria, which included the quality and durability of construction, elevator wait time, life/safety issues, HVAC capability, after-hours cost controls, building security, and consistency of corporate image.

Israel Children's Centers
We appreciated your professionalism, knowledge of our various markets, and your patience as we toured many, many possibilities.  Please put us on your reference list for prospective clients, because it was a pleasure working with you.

Jardine
They were able to protect our long-term interests, due to their realistic projections of real estate tax and operating expenses, based on their operating knowledge of the efficiency and effectiveness of building systems and controls.

Joseph E. Seagram & Sons
You custom tailored a lease transaction that supported our business requirements on a more in-depth and comprehensive level than we had ever experienced before.

JP Morgan Chase
Without your expertise, perseverance and overall guidance, we would not have been able to accomplish our initial goals.

Mass Mutual
Every broker has Co-Star, an on-line database of available properties.  You went beyond CoStar and searched for “shadow” alternatives (spaces under lease by existing tenants who are underutilizing their space).  You negotiated a lease/buy-out agreement with the existing tenant, wherein we applied those upfront dollars to moving costs, tenant improvements and rent abatements.

MacNeill Group
L&F is a long-term advocate for MacNeill.  Their sophisticated and assertive approach to their client’s multiple-city transactions is based on their absolute understanding and control of long-term occupancy costs.

Mitsui
To plan and manage a project like ours must have been a nightmare.  Because your work is done behind the scenes, one tends to forget how effective you were at putting all the parts together and have it appear seamless.  You did it right!

Motorola
You have been consistently great advocates for Motorola over the years, due to your sophisticated approach to business.

NEC
They proved to be very responsive to our needs.  Not only did they understand the sensitivities around the work we did together, but could be relied on to be very proactive in dealing with issues as they arose.

NCCI
Your strength lies not only in your understanding of our needs and culture, but your ability to connect it to our real estate, financial, human resources, and IT requirements.

New York State’s Empire Development Corporation
They have the ability to accomplish major complex relocations with significant economic incentives that are often beyond the imagination of most of us.

Nortel Networks
We want to take this opportunity to thank you for the excellent work recently done on behalf of our company.  Your involvement and professionalism were pivotal to the successful marketing and subleasing of our space.  I appreciate your tenacity in searching for a subtenant and your commitment to negotiating the best possible deal.  Your knowledge and expertise exceeded our expectations.

Phillips & Cohen Associates, Ltd.
We are extremely happy with the results of your services.  You helped us find a site that met all of our criteria and negotiated excellent financial terms, which were essential to completing the deal.

SCP Modcomp
You created the opportunity for us to “right size” our real estate with a great solution.  There was never an issue with a real estate solution versus a business solution, because you facilitated a real estate solution that met our business plan.

State Farm
You display undivided loyalty, consistently.  You are also highly responsive to widely varying needs and capable of managing a large volume of assignments.

Stephens Lynn Klein & McNicholas
A key benefit of working with you is your process and analysis.  You were flawless!

The Hartford
They may be the most assertive advocates for their clients that we have ever had the pleasure of working with.

United Technologies
Our first instinct was to hire one of the big global brokers firms to represent us in our expansion and relocation.  It seemed like the safe things to do: Hire the biggest, because they have signs on buildings everywhere.  It is our good fortune that we recognized that our first instinct was not the basis for informed decision-making.  We are very delighted that we engaged you instead.

Viacom
Not all tenant-improvement allowances are equal.  We quickly learned that all base buildings and their operating systems are not the same.  In the process they saved us over 30% on design and construction-improvement costs.  They are smart, enthusiastic and operate at a high-energy level.

Watsco
They dissected our proposed lease, identified issues that our counsel couldn’t know about, and saved us twice the amount of their fee.
