In my haste to relocate and establish a new law office, I neglected to inform you of the exceptional service provided by Judy Feldman in the sale of our building. As you know, we initially purchased this 30,000 square foot building exclusively for our New Jersey and New York law practice. Ultimately we relocated the New York practice and with Judy’s assistance re-positioned ourselves from a single, user-occupied building to an income-producing building. Judy introduced qualified tenants, and because she was an encyclopedia of fair market rents and comparables, we were able to negotiate favorable terms with our new tenants. When we decided to market our property, Judy was instrumental in finding potential buyers with real interest either as owner-occupiers or investors, and keeping us informed of showings, meetings, questions. She did her research and obtained every record, architectural drawing, lease, utility bill, rent roll, and was always well-prepared to answer any party’s question. Ultimately, Judy brought a favorable buyer to the table and with her advice enabled us to achieve a satisfactory purchase price. Contract contingencies in our sale required renegotiation of long-term leases with our tenants, and once again, Judy provided invaluable assistance.
In essence, Judy Feldman marketed our property, counseled us on the sales price of comparable properties and fair market rents, and was persistent, well-informed, eloquent, credible, and always pleasant and professional despite some internal and external challenges.
