Testimonials
We engaged David to assist us in the sale/leaseback of a commercial building we acquired in conjunction with the purchase of a business. Being a US based business we had no prior experience selling/leasing back Canadian real estate. David not only walked us through the process but took great care in helping us negotiate a favorable purchase price on the property and a long term lease. His knowledge of the commercial real estate market in Toronto helped us close the deal in less than three months. We would strongly recommend David and Colliers to other Private Equity firms.
