We have appreciated Derek's dedication and thoroughness in helping us locate our new office space. We appreciated his timely responses to emails and phone calls. Derek helped us with the TI improvements that were needed for our new office space. He took on the emails and phone calls with the other leasing agent which allowed us to focus on our daily work responsibilities. This is our second office space that Derek has helped us secure a lease with and we look forward to working with him in the future.
