Testimonials

  • Close-up of an elderly man with thinning white hair, wearing a checkered shirt, standing indoors with a yellow wall and doorway in the background.

    “I’ve been investing in commercial real estate for over 50 years. I have known Steve for over 15 years and trust him completely.  He is competent, aggressive and is a follow through type of businessmen. We purchased an industrial building with other investors which he managed and operated in an efficient and competent fashion. We made money with the building and are looking for the next venture. He’s smart, honest, and a pleasure to do business with.”

    “I’ve done two deals with Steve and Amal — and we’re always exploring and discussing the next opportunity. What started as a business relationship quickly became a close friendship. We both show up with full authenticity, and that’s rare. I know Steve has my back — always — in business and in life.”

    — G Patel, Partner at CityPlat, CRE Operator / Broker, Author & Entrepreneur

    “I’ve done more than a dozen deals with Steve over the years. He delivers — every single time. But what really sets him apart is who he is: grounded, loyal, and one of the highest-quality human beings I know. I trust him in business. I trust him with my life.”

  • Two people smiling, with one person's arm around the other's shoulder, in what appears to be a bar or restaurant setting.

    “I’ve done multiple construction projects with Steve, and we partnered on a deal where I was both the GC and an investor. We hit a major environmental issue that could’ve derailed everything. Steve handled it calmly, took care of the problem, and made all of us a lot of money in the end.”

    “I’ve known Steve and Amal for many years — as friends, as business partners, and as people of the highest integrity. Steve served on the board of my company, and I’ve also invested with him in a consumer goods start-up that is best characterized as high-risk/high-reward. Performance to date has been excellent. In every context, he brings thoughtfulness, discipline, and a deep sense of responsibility. I trust him without hesitation.”
