Testimonials

"We have worked with Providence Commercial over the past 7 years. They have gone out of their way to represent our interests in an aggressive and professional manner. As public service, non-profit broadcasters, we have several special real estate needs. They grasp the complexities of our service and have done a great job translating them into cost-effective offices, studios, and public meeting space."

Roger Sarow, President and General Manager - WFAE Public Radio & University Radio Foundation

“The brokers at Providence Commercial possess all the best traits one would hope for in a real estate professional. They are knowledgeable about the marketplace, responsive to client needs, and effective negotiators. They are also driven to serve their clientele irrespective of the magnitude of the product and achieve their goals."

Jameson P. Wells, Partner - Wells Daisley Rabon, P.A.

“Our firm purchased and completely renovated an older building in Southend. We specifically had 2 separate suites in the design as our goal was to organically grow into the whole building over time. In the meantime, we needed a tenant to offset the large upfront investment. Providence hustled and did a fantastic job finding us a long-term tenant to occupy the empty suite. Additionally, they negotiated a great deal on our behalf where we had very little upfront improvement costs to get them into the space. The brokers at Providence Commercial know their stuff and are very capable professionals."

Mark Sutherland, President - Vision Builders and Design

“Providence Commercial assisted my company in two ways - Lease renewal for our existing space and searching for a new alternate tenant space.  They are extremely professional, ethical, and knowledgeable.  They listened to our needs and guided us to make the right decision for our business at the time.  I will continue to work with them as our needs and tenant space requires change."

Caren Bistany, Owner - Bistany Design

“Our investment group hired Providence Commercial because of their eagerness, professionalism and expertise. Our experience was extremely positive-- They were thorough, provided very helpful market feedback to us and kept us in the loop throughout the whole search process. Not only did they succeed in getting us a long-term tenant but through their network of vendors they were also able to introduce us to a great contractor that quickly and inexpensively built out the space to the tenant’s specifications.“

Michael Greenspon, Partner - Greenspon Properties, LLC

“One of our properties in Charlotte is a beautiful 5000sf building on Morehead Street. Unfortunately though, it sat empty for some time due to a very difficult commercial real estate market. We first attempted to try to find a tenant on our own but after no success decided to hire a broker and see what they could do. We interviewed a few firms and decided to hire Providence Commercial because they are very active in the Charlotte market and showed the eagerness and ability to help us find a solution. A solid prospect was soon identified and Providence was able to create and negotiate a very interesting long-term solution that would require no up-front improvement costs on our part. We’re very glad we made the choice to hire Providence… They really came through for us!”

Kenneth R. Benton, Partner - Baucom, Claytor, Benton, Morgan & Wood, PA

"Providence Commercial, made our search for a new office location a seamless endeavor. They listened to our needs and understood what we were looking for before presenting recommended spaces to review. This not only allowed us to find the perfect fit, but minimized the amount of time spent doing so. As well, they negotiated an excellent deal on our lease. We love our new digs – Thanks!"

Karen Rodriguez, Group Publisher - "Charlotte Magazine"/City Magazines

"Providence did an outstanding job marketing our commercial space for sub-lease. They have been one of the most proactive, in-touch, creative real estate brokers we’ve worked with to date and we appreciate the hard work they did. Simply put, they found a qualified and perfect tenant for us in an extremely difficult market. We are especially impressed, considering the dozens of comparable properties to ours that continue to remain vacant."

Brena Huffman, Owner- Huffman Law, PLLC

“On a tight time span, our company had a lease expiration quickly-approaching and badly needed to find new industrial/office flex property in the Southwestern Mecklenburg County area to serve as our Western North Carolina District home office. I had a great experience with Providence Commercial. They were very knowledgeable and quickly found exactly what I needed. In addition, they negotiated such a great deal for me that I was able to move into a property larger than my original scope which will make future business expansion easier. They provided me great value and I highly recommend hiring them.”

Greg Weaver, Vice President - VSC Fire & Security, Inc. (Formerly Worsham Sprinkler Co.)

“Providence Commercial took on the task of finding a tenant to fill a suite within my Southend, 6000sf office building near uptown. The task was tricky from the standpoint that the new tenant’s use needed to coincide with my own business operations that occupied the bulk of the building. It was essential that the new mix in this intimate space worked both comfortably and cohesively for everyone, especially my employees and clients. They had to hustle and proactively find interested parties for this unique space and actually gave us a few final tenants to choose from in this down market. Providence Commercial diligently and effectively marketed my space finding me a great tenant for a multi-year deal in a very competitive midtown real estate market. I would personally recommend Providence Commercial. Thanks guys!”  

Jack Burke, President/Owner - Burke Communications

"I had spoken with Providence for quite some time about my needs for an affordable small law office close to the court house.  They were extremely diligent and patient with us and found the perfect space to suit our needs.  Not only are they great in negotiating a lease, they also helped us put a team together to up fit the office beautifully at an affordable price.  I highly recommend their services to others."

David R. Lange - Attorney at Law

“We chose Providence Commercial because of their creativity and flexibility in marketing our uptown sub-lease space in the Cotton Mill Building.  They really did their homework prior to meeting us for the first time by providing current and relevant market data. Overall, they did an excellent job connecting with the types of professionals most interested in leasing our loft space.”

Jim Babinchak AIA, Principal - 505 Design Charlotte, Inc.

"Our Ohio-based Roofing Supply Company recently decided to expand into the Charlotte region. Making a large investment and learning about a new region can be both scary and overwhelming but Providence Commercial patiently helped us navigate the process not only supplying us with great property ideas but also providing us crucial insight that would greatly affect our specific geographic focus— Ultimately giving us the best chance to succeed. We ended up choosing a 15,000sf flex/office building that they presented to us… As well, they negotiated a great deal for us. We’re glad we hired them to represent us in the search-- Thanks fellas!"

John Cizmadia, Vice President of Sales- Capital City Roofing Supply, Inc.

"In a very tough real estate market for property owners, I hired Providence Commercial to find a tenant for my Midtown office property. I had a wonderful experience working with them-- They were fast, efficient, and always answered the phone (which is a big deal to me). I don’t think anyone else could have found me a tenant so quickly and I am going to recommend them to everyone I can. Thanks again.”

Ashley Pak, President - Insight Realty, Inc.

"Blackbird’s circumstances were anything but normal during our recent move. However, Providence made the process simple and easy for us. They provided us with a course of action and led us through the process so that at the end of the day we ended up with a great location on terms that were most beneficial to our company."

John Cornelius, Chief Technology Officer - Blackbird Holdings, Inc.

"Providence proved to be the key to our success in completing a complex and challenging 1031 real estate exchange transaction. Finding the right buyer for our relinquished property was a priority. Providence’s value proved critical in analyzing and advising on multiple offers ensuring that we secured a buyer, both fully capable of executing the transaction and willing to provide the flexibility needed to complete a time sensitive 1031 exchange. Our relinquished property carried the added burden of environmental concerns, mandating extended and trying tests that stressed all parties involved. Providence was professional and fair in guiding us through the intricacies and risks associated with complex purchase contracts and the extended phase environmental testing that was required. Regarding our new property, Providence provided their vast market knowledge and countless hours in locating and securing a strong investment property that is expected to provide higher than average returns for years to come. They provided professional, accurate, courteous service while charging reasonable fees. By nature, our transaction has been lengthy and complex. With the professional assistance of Providence, it now carries another label – Successful."

Chris Porter, President - Theta Systems
