What Our Clients Say

Since the firm's organization in 1979, Read's reputation has been built on our ability to succeed in all sizes and types of tasks, with a myriad of clients who return again and again.

“You provided several alternative locations showing that we could save approximately $200,000 over the term of the lease.  Even though we were reluctant to commit to exploring every option, your persistence in helping us understand the market dynamics was most helpful.”

Jerry W. Pinkard 
Vice President-Design Group; Gibbs & Cox Inc.

“I have never encountered anyone serving in a similar capacity that has provided the sound professional guidance and has the integrity, honesty, and work ethic you exhibit…you have earned our implicit trust.”

Lloyd Tannenbaum 

Director, Rivermont Schools of Centra Health, Inc.

“You were not interested in just listing the property as other agents had done…you understood business and financing aspects of different plans.  You were creative in formulating an approach and tenacious in executing it.  More importantly, you had my best interests in mind throughout the process.”

Helmuth W. Trieshmann, Jr., M.D.

“Rich took the time to walk us through many of the facets of ownership...and provided many insights based on his personal experience...We are very happy with the way Rich took our capabilities and desires and translated them into the purchase of the restaurant that best fit our needs.”

“We never realized how much of an additional benefit it is to have an on-site management firm such as Read Commercial Properties taking care of our facility.  Maintenance was always promptly done, and your staff was always willing to go the extra mile to ensure we were completely satisfied.”

“Since Will assumed the leasing responsibilities we have signed two new leases. Additionally, showings and activity have increased and Will has provided valuable input. I can only attribute this success to having an agent who is dedicated to helping the ownership achieve 100% occupancy.”
