Testimonials:

“As the Vice President, Operations, Canada for Pason Systems Corp. I had the pleasure of working with Steven as we retained him and his firm to find us a new downtown office for our Canadian sales organization.

Throughout the process I found Steven to be very aware of the available inventory that would suit our needs, knowledgeable about the process of negotiating and securing a fair operating lease, and proactive in regards to driving the process and minimizing the amount of time my staff and I needed to invest in the abovementioned initiative.

Steven was a professional in all aspects of this assignment and I would use him again if a similar situation presented itself and would not hesitate to refer him for any of the real estate services he provides.” – David Holodinsky – VP of Operations, Canada For Pason Systems Corp.

“I have known Steven now as my leasing agent for my professional premises for almost one and a half years. Since I have first met Steven, he has worked diligently and honestly in ensuring I as a client have my pulse on all the information needed regarding the various premises we looked at. He has always remained very objective and fair in any advice he gave me. We negotiated a very difficult scenario that pertained to re-leasing an existing premise in addition to renting a new one from the same landlord. Despite the complexities of my deal with the landlord, Steven managed to simplify the various aspects of my lease in a way that allowed me to fully understand the agreement I am undertaking and ensure I receive the best possible deal from my landlord. What I was most impressed by was his commitment to stay by me after the lease was signed. I can’t thank him enough for guiding me through the many challenges I had to deal with after the lease is signed pertaining to various things like leasehold improvements, tenant allowance changes, renegotiating commencement dates, etc. Many of those things I am certain were not necessarily relevant to what he did. Yet he continued to give me an objective and honest advice all the way through my various hurdles.

In summary, I really can’t thank Steven enough for his incredible work ethics, professionalism, integrity, and honesty in helping me as a client through the challenges of leasing professional premises. I am certain that Steven will succeed to impress anyone in whatever capacity he works and I have no hesitation in giving him my highest appreciations and recommendations.” – Ahmed Al-Ghoul – Founder of Seema Eye Care Centre and Clarity Laser Vision
