Client Testimonials
I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the outstanding service provided Elkay Canada on the sale of our property in Brampton. The professionalism and quick response was excellent, and the process was flawless and well managed.
Corporate Assets Inc. recently engaged CB Richard Ellis Limited as our commercial real estate provider. Our representative, Corby Rolin, was successful in completing the transaction in a timely manner to our satisfaction. We were impressed by his persistent nature and professionalism throughout the project. In the future, if the opportunity arose again, we would look to CB Richard Ellis Limited to assist us.
On behalf of the senior management at Alcan Foil Products, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your expertise, professional conduct and guidance through our recent lease renewal process at 14 Kenview Boulevard, Brampton. Scot, over the years you (and Bob Stuart) have acted on our behalf on numerous transactions and we would like to commend you and your team for your thorough professional services. We are thankful for your continued involvement in any of our future real estate requirements and would gladly recommend yourself and CBRE without hesitation.
The present is designed to serve as testimony of our satisfaction with the services of Mr. Scot Steele, Vice President with CB Richard Ellis Limited. We have called on Mr. Steele to help us with the sale process of an industrial property, which had previously failed miserably and had created significant confusion in the market for our property. Mr. Steele acted with great professionalism and, showing good negotiating skills and knowledge of the players, salvaged the process leading us to a successful sale. On the basis of this experience we would be happy to use Mr. Steel's services again in the future.
Thank you for the excellent service, support and advice you .have provided to Arjo and GetingeCastle in our search for a new warehouse and office complex. You have provided a thorough review of the properties available and you have provided highly valued guidance in helping us to make our selection with a solid return on investment. We enjoyed working with you and your assistant, Nicole, and would gladly recommend working with C.B. Richard Ellis in future.
Over December 2000 through February 2001, Medis Outsource Logistics (MOL) received the services of CB Richard Ellis in finding and leasing our existing building and in sub-letting our original building. We received assistance with both the Offers to Lease and the final Lease documents. Our primary contact was Scot Steele, Vice President, and Nicole Noronha, Administrative Assistant, ably supported him. I found them both to be helpful, reliable, and responsive. In fact, Scot Steele acted as liaison with our parent company in the U.S. and saw that their needs were met. I have no hesitation in recommending the use of their services.
Just a quick note to thank-you for selling our manufacturing facility in Mississauga. The sale, although challenging, was handled in a very professional manner. We are pleased with the final outcome of this transaction. In the future, Royal Containers Ltd. will not hesitate to call on Scott Steele and CB Richard Ellis for its real estate services.
I wanted to take this opportunity to express our thanks for the terrific job you and the rest of the CB group did in helping us to complete our relocation to our new Canadian Corporate Headquarters here in Brampton. First, you and Scot were instrumental in helping us to find and acquire our piece of land - and at an excellent price. Then CB assisted us by, not only preparing the specifications for our building, but also in tendering the job and helping to select the ultimate contractor. Finally, you were able to find us a sub-tenant for our old facility. We couldn't have asked for a better outcome, nor a more cooperative, competent, and professional team than you and your associates. These were not our first and only dealings with you and CB, and we had similarly positive experiences in these other situations as well. Therefore, should the need arise in the future, we wouldn't hesitate to call on you and Scot again to help us with our real estate needs.
I would like to thank you both for the diligent work put forth in helping us locate our second facility in Mississauga. I found that you conducted yourself in a professional and effective manner. Our needs were understood and met without question. Your knowledge of the marketplace and ability to source potential locatfons was very evident early on in our discussions. While we hope not to have to relocate for many years, we will not hesitate to offer any reference you may need with prospective clientele.
Thank you for selling our plant at 1774 Drew Road, in Mississauga. CB Commercial was instrumental in allowing HBP'to exceed its timing objectives, as it relates to the disposition of this property. Also, thank you for participating in the marketing of our Buffalo location at 150 Bud-Mil Drive. The opportunity to engage one brokerage firm, to sell facilities in different markets, has its obvious advantages. We look forward to selling Buffalo and without a doubt, with CB's professional approach to marketing real estate, we will see positive results shortly.
I have had the opportunity to use the services of Corby Rolin and Scott Steele on two separate occasions. In March of 2003, Corby and Scott helped me secure the leased premises in which I currently conduct business, at a very competitive rate. Furthermore, Corby and Scott did an exceptional job at selling my property at 7050 Bramalea Rd. Units 50-51. The reason why I use the adjective exceptional is because the property at 7050 Bramalea was initially listed with another agent for a 3 month term. Throughout that listing period, I received one offer, which was well below market price. After that agent's term had expired, I listed the property with Corby and Scott, who sold the property for 98% of my asking price within 2 days of their listing.
Needless to say, we could not have arranged this transaction without your expertise and guidance every step of the way. Leslie and I greatly appreciated your contributions toward making this deal conclude successfully, in such a short space of time.
We had bought our last building from Scot Steele back in 1989 and had found him to be very professional, knowledgeable and thorough to the "T". The purchase and sale of the real estate transaction went very well due to Scot's attention to detail. When we were in the market again, Scot was the first name we contacted and again he and his professional staff helped us through to the closing. I would highly recommend Scot Steele and Corby Rolin for your real estate needs.
I am writing this letter in appreciation to Corby Rolin, CBRE, for the wonderful professional service he gave us in the sale of our Industrial Condo. He advised us to ask more than we had originally thought we should ask and we were particularly impressed with his marketing of the property. We received four offers in a very short period of time and sold our building for top dollar. It's still amazing to us just how many offers we received and how quickly it sold.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your effort displayed on leasing our new industrial building located in Mississauga. The building was leased prior to completion allowing us to completely meet the requirements of the new tenant. The timely and professional manner displayed will assure you of our support in any future endeavors.
On behalf of the Day International, Inc., I would like to take this opportunity to thank you both for your energetic efforts to sell our Brampton facility. The sale, although challenging, was handled in a diligent, professional, and timely manner. We appreciate your market knowledge and continued efforts throughout the transaction. We would certainly recommend you and your team to any party seeking out quality real estate professionals and would not hesitate to work with you again on another real estate project.
