Some of the most important benefits that CRES provided to One Source include:
Entrepreneurial & Nimbl: We got beyond the level of service you even represented we would.

A real attention to serve: This quality had a huge value to me and meant a lot, especially because I demanded a lot from you. I greatly suspect that our request were nonstandard vs. many of your engagements. Not once did you pushback or complain. Another related quality is that you listened to our needs and in the end result got as best a bulls eye as I could want in terms of our new space. Personally, I view these personal qualities to serve and listen as a hallmark of your professionalism.

Core Real Estate Knowledge: This includes everything from educating us on the market, pricing, landlords, and the broker community. CRES was very helpful in portioning the town of Chicago and helping us understand the type of buildings, tenants, and pricing for these spaces. We ended up optimizing both criteria again better than our old location. Your financial model too was a nice tool in comparing and quantifying the overall total lease cost. Lastly, I observed that your rapport and relationships with the selling broker community was instrumental in uncovering the available opportunities; a critical and yet subtle benefit.
