“Thanks for doing a great job for us. I have been through this process many times, but Tony Karmin's representation of us was exceptional. You represented us professionally in a civil style that is also in keeping with the company’s culture. I always knew where we stood at each stage, and the analysis you prepared was focused, right to the point and articulate. You kept us moving towards a decision and action with a very sophisticated sense of when to narrow options and yet kept forces in play that were in our favor.”

John Rau, President, Miami Corporation

“I am writing to let you know how pleased we have been with our ongoing relationship with Transwestern Management. The team they've put together at One North State in Chicago is professional, enthusiastic, and driven. Each member of the team contributes, from the onsite folks to accountants to construction management experts, and adds value to the decision making process, a rare quality among property management firms. The management style is proactive, detail oriented, diligent, and constantly on the lookout for ways to improve. Transwestern truly manages as if the property were their own, perhaps the highest compliment. I would be happy to recommend Transwestern's outstanding management capabilities (and often do).”

"Bob Klinger has represented Dionex in various capacities, initially as Project Manager to consolidate remote satellite offices establishing Dionex National Sales, Service and Training Center and secondly as corporate advisor on a building purchase. Upon each transaction Bob has used his extensive knowledge and access to business alliances to augment our team providing expert advice above and beyond the project scope to foresee and advise on potential corporate exposure and liabilities while responding to critical issues real-time. In addition to Bob’s expertise as Project Manager/Bldg. Engineer/Financial Advisor he manages to maintain a positive, ‘calm, cool, collected’ demeanor during the ‘nail-biters’ which are inevitable in most Facilities transactions of this type. I never hesitate to pick Bob as a member of my team."
