Testimonials
"Mr. Kirwin's depth of local market knowledge and contacts within the community resulting in a marketing strategy that exposed the property for sale to a maximum number of buyers in the marketplace, including regional, national and even international. Undoubtedly, had it not been for the skill, patience and professionalism of Mr. Kirwin, including his dedication and problem solving abilities, I do not believe this transaction would have successfully completed." Citizens Bank of Canada - Gary Weibe, Manager Credit
"It gives me great pleasure to recommend the services of Colliers International, and in particular Chris Kirwin. I have worked with Chris for over 7 years and in that time he has provided support to assist 3M in the evaluation of potential real estate proposals and aquire leased facilities. After a quick site selection process, Chris negotiated with the property owners to help both parties arrived at an agreeable solution in record time. I fully recommend Chris for any real estate services and as more opportunities present themselves to 3M, we would not hesitate to work with him in the future." 3M - Peggy Easton, Manager of Administrative Services
