TESTIMONIALS

James Garner, James Medefind and Marcus & Millichap would be a great asset to any company or individual. It was evident that their team was making great efforts to locate well-qualified buyers through Marcus & Millichap's National marketing platform. They brought me four offers within the first few weeks of marketing the asset and ultimately closed at over 96% of the list price.

TAKE 5 OIL CHANGE PORTFOLIO, TAMPA BAY, FL

“It is with great pleasure that I am recommending James Garner to you. I had the opportunity to have Mr. Garner represent me regarding the sale of a Mattress Firm strip center in St. Petersburg, FL…James and his team made the entire process very easy for me. Within just two weeks of marketing the property, James was able to secure multiple qualified buyers interested in our property. Ultimately, he advised us through negotiations and secured a 1031 exchange buyer who paid an extremely aggressive price and closed within 30 days of going under contract. From preparing the property for market to landing at the closing table, James made it very easy for me to be hands off, while also thoroughly communicating our progress at every step of the way.

MATTRESS FIRM STRIP, ST. PETERSBURG, Florida

James Garner and Marcus & Millichap executed seamlessly based on the marketing plan strategically put in place and performed as promised. Not only was he able to secure multiple offers within a short amount of time, but we closed at list price for an aggressive market value. He provided updates on important deal points as it progressed to the closing table, resulting in a very smooth process.
