Jill is the best Commercial Real Estate broker you can get. Not only is she very detail oriented, organized, and has great knowledge of the market and relationships with other agents out there, but she was very helpful in helping me making the right decision in selecting our office. Initially during our search, I wasn't sure where exactly we want to be, but Jill was able to help me to see the values of being in the area we are currently in with her great consultative approach. She always responded promptly and never left any questions unanswered.

Jill was our agent as we were searching for an office space for our small start-up. We had a laundry list of wishes for our new space, and Jill was incredibly patient in listening to us and showing us listings that met our criteria. She was also highly knowledgeable about leasing issues and negotiation strategies. We were thrilled with her and would definitely use her services again when the need arises.

Jill's expertise helped guide us into an office space that was a much better fit than our previous space. Also as a group of several partners she managed all of our different opinions and perspectives with patience and professionalism.
