What Our Clients Are Saying

“Walter was highly effective and creative when it came to structuring our corporate headquarters lease. He initially helped us secure a 28,000-square-foot sublease that included a cash contribution we used to cover our relocation costs and purchase new furniture.

When the sublease term expired, he helped us negotiate a direct lease that not only offered attractive economics but flexibility in terms of expansion, renewal and termination rights. When we made the decision to design, build and occupy our own facility, we turned to Walter to assist in the proper lease termination procedure, as well as to help us with the economics associated with our new building.”

“L’Occitane Americas has its Regional Office on Brickell Avenue, Miami, FL. Robinson Commercial Real Estate represented us on our lease renewal. It was important to us to renovate our offices to be more efficient for our employees and to update the presentation of our space for clients. Walter took the time up front and knew details to ensure that the work letter of the Lease properly reflected our agreement with the Landlord. As a result the build out was a very smooth process, was completed on time, and at no cost to us as a Tenant. He knows how to protect the interest of the Tenant while maintaining a professional relationship with the Landlord for the long term.”

“Walter effectively secured a subtenant for my excess office space on Brickell Avenue, Miami, FL. The space had a unique layout that was specific for a staffing company and not the most efficient for the typical user on Brickell Avenue.

Through his market intelligence and direct marketing he was able to identify and secure a credit-worthy user who found value in the existing improvements and took the space in As-Is condition within a short period of time. It was a pleasure to work with him as he made recommendations and guided SNI Companies through the process to an innovative solution.
