Testimonials
“Nathan and James understood and aligned our objectives as a company with local market dynamics to formulate a custom real estate solution to best fit our goals. Our new facilities better represent our brand as a company and has improved our LA presence significantly. Nathan and James’ experience helped mitigate our risk, saved us significant time, money, and aggravation through the process. I recommend Nathan and James to anyone who is thinking about improving their office lease situation.” - Kenyon Mayeda, Managing Director, TD Wang Advertising
"Nathan and his team handled our recent lease renewal. They negotiated a space reduction as we had excess space while locking in a below market lease rate. They made sure the Landlord covered all construction costs. They were a pleasure to work with!" - Steven K. Kurashima, President of ASK Network
"Nathan made the entire relocation process a smooth one. He shopped the market for us and found us an amazing space. The Landlord took care of all work; we are in at below market rent and the space works perfectly!" - Pete Riley, General Manager at Sarnoff Court Reporters
"Nathan was invaluable in helping to locate and negotiate our new office space in Downtown Los Angeles. Nathan and his team were great to work with and we're definitely going to use them again." - Michael C. Hockett, Chief Operations Officer of Colburn School of Performing Arts
"We retained Nathan to identify relocation alternatives while negotiating a renewal for our existing office space on Wilshire Boulevard. Nathan was able to identify a legitimate relocation alternative and leverage this alternative to get us a better rate and tenant improvement package than we would have received on our own. I would fully recommend his services." - Areva D. Martin, ESQ. and Managing Partner of Martin & Martin
