We are all thrilled with the results of our purchase. I could not have asked for a better person than Jeff to stick handle the situation. Everyone, including support staff was really knowledgeable and efficient. You inspired confidence and we felt we were in good hands every step of the way. You have a wonderful business!
The Oulahen team was professional and helpful from the first day I called them. They managed to complete the sale, including payment, in less than a month while getting me the best price per square foot ever for my building. I highly recommend them to anyone who is buying or selling a property.
