Testimonials
"Marc, I am writing to personally thank you for your service to Wajax as our brokers for both the Sale / Leaseback of our Mississauga property and Market appraisals on our Southern Ontario properties. We have been exceptionally impressed with a few features of your work: First, your personal touch in listening to us – you took the time to understand what was important to our business. With that information you provided us with prospects and information which was invaluable. Second, your ability to adjust to our changing needs without complaint was accommodating. A few times down the road I caused you to shift our strategy and you said “no problem” and shifted. That spirit of accommodation is appreciated. Third, your effort in negotiations of the LOI and the lease was unexpectedly detailed and beneficial. Your service in contract and lease review certainly kept our attorney’s efforts minimal.
Please share this letter of recommendation with your future customers. I am happy to talk to anyone considering hiring you as a broker
