Satisfied Clients
“We needed expertise and a real advocate when we were approaching our lease expiration date. Jim was an invaluable partner leading an exhaustive market analysis while educating us along the way. In the end he was able to negotiate a very well thought-out deal for us, including a 20% reduction in rent and a significant tenant improvement allowance. I feel Jim was always looking out for our business and ultimately got us to our goal of executing a long term lease within budget.”
“I have known and worked with Jim for over 20 years. He always fully understands Lathrop Asset Management’s needs and goals. I know I can always reach out to him with questions or concerns, and I will always be heard, which is not always the case in the commercial real estate business. I appreciate his dedication and hard work representing Lathrop Asset Management over the many years.”
