“My partners and I simply want to thank you and your team for all of your efforts and hard work with both our recent relocation (and taking of additional space) and our previous lease renewal. Your expertise and advice made the process as painless as it can be. Your knowledge of the Houston market in general and our complex in particular were invaluable to use in securing the best terms possible. While I am certain we could have negotiated the lease extensions on our own (would any lawyer say otherwise), I am equally certain that the final result would not have been as favorable to us as it ultimately was had Colliers not been involved.”
