"I contracted with Jon to lease new office space for my company. He carefully listened the many needs of our staff, our members and our board of directors to secure an ideal location and facility for us. I highly recommend Jon for his professionalism, knowledge and dedication to his clients."

- Tina Lung, Senior Vice President, Worldwide ERC

 
"I have worked with Jon and Cresa very closely on a few transactions each of which had their set of challenges. To describe a couple, we had an urgent termination of a long-term lease that had several contentious terms that needed to be resolved, we needed to find and move studio and satellite operations to a new location in a very short amount of time. Throughout the simultaneously running processes, Jon provided me and my team much needed guidance in negotiating out the termination. At the same time, he showed a lot of resourcefulness in finding a new location and shepherding us through negotiations on terms with the new landlords. He was client friendly, showed a lot of energy in following up with different parties and helping me and my team overcome difficult challenges and accomplish two major projects."
