“We recently closed on our new lease at 1900 Main Street, Sarasota.  I want to thank Michele Fuller for her outstanding service in making this possible.  She was relentless in her pursuit to find us the perfect space, showing us numerous properties and negotiated potential leases on two occasions.  We were not easy to deal with; our requirements were very specific and we often changed our minds regarding location and terms!  We deeply appreciate her commitment to our goals and her professional practices that made this possible.  We will highly recommend Michele and your organization to our clients.”  Terry Miller, Chief Operating Office, Tannenbaum Scro Hanewich & Alpert

“In 2011, we made the difficult decision to relocate our company due to the fact that we had outgrown our facility.  As any business leader knows this can be a great challenge as we needed to find a building that not only met our current needs but also room for future expansion. And most importantly we needed to be centrally located for our employee base, which limited our options. With this in mind, we did our research and Jag Grewal of Ian Black came highly recommended from several of my peers. From day one we realized his level of professionalism is second to none as he quickly located the perfect facility that will be the home of Enzymedica for many years to come. Throughout the purchasing process he went above and beyond by making sure that we connected with the appropriate local government representatives, financial institutions and builders…which ultimately led to our relocation in Sarasota County. If you are considering firms to work with on your own expansion needs, do not hesitate to contact Jag as you won’t be disappointed.”   Scott Sensenbrenner, CEO, Enzymedica Inc.

“I am the managing member of a Law Firm in Atlanta. Several years ago we had a need to open some offices in Tampa and Orlando. Each office and each area in which we needed offices was different.
Nick DeVito II helped with selecting the locations, configuiring the spaces and extensive negociations with the landlords.  Nick handled every part of the process for us from signage to the certificates of occupancy.  Two of Nick’s outstanding attributes are putting in the necessary time and effort that was required and his attention to detail doing the entire project.” Emory L. Clark

“Jag Grewal and Michele Fuller have been working with the Lightstone Group over the past three years in developing and executing leasing strategy for a challenging project in the Sarasota market.  The Ian Black team provided us with the most up to date industry data in their market and their acute knowledge of the marketplace in the Tampa Bay region allowed us to gain a clear understanding of our asset in the marketplace and reposition our asset from a non-performing asset into a performing investment.  I would not hesitate to recommend them for any commercial project.”    Marc R. Turner, Vice President

“You cannot know how much of a help you are. And knowing that a professional would go to such lengths for a client is a really beautiful thing.”  David Finkelstein
