WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US

“... I have always found Mark Robbins to be very accessible, extremely respectful, and he has a great understanding of our needs and how we approach the leasing of our facilities.”

Stephen R. Colgate, Chief Administrative Officer, DLA Piper US LLP

“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

“Phil Utigard is much more than our school’s real estate broker – he is a strategic adviser helping us leverage real estate to be the premier institution in our field. If you seek the highest level of sophistication in process and superior outcomes, go with Phil Utigard. He will make sure he understands your business and help you move it forward!”

Dr. Michael Horowitz, President and CEO, The Chicago School of Professional Psychology

“I worked with Tony Karmin for a year regarding our company relocation and can say without qualification that he was most professional and meticulous in all aspects of our project. His strong industry knowledge and attention to detail was a great benefit to us. His understanding of our needs helped him to truly represent our firm throughout the whole process. Transwestern is a pleasure to work with and I would not hesitate to call on Tony again for any relocation or expansion needs in the future.”

Mary Lou Chuinard, Vice President – Operations, Ocean Tomo

“…the Transwestern Transaction Management Team abides by a simple rule of client service: they always do what they say they’ll do!”

Merle Ocken, Retired Senior Director of Facility Planning, Pharmacia 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).”
