"Kellam has helped us to find a great space within a very short period of time. He eliminated the headache and made the whole process go very smoothly. He took initiative and searched for a space in places other agents would not consider. I highly recommend Kellam if you need assistance in finding a great space for your company. We love our new office and are excited to move in. Thank you Kellam." (July 25, 2012)
