“I engaged the services of Chris McFarland to find an appropriate location for another Laser Car Wash. Upon a rather exhaustive review of multiple properties, Chris was able to locate vacant land that was ideal for my project and negotiate an acceptable purchase agreement. Chris was an invaluable resource over the entire process as he attended numerous City meetings, provided me a contact for a very capable Architect and Civil Engineer along with my Builder to help get the land entitled. Chris was always very communicative and highly professional in all aspects to bring the purchase to a positive conclusion. I would highly recommend Chris and will also engage his services again for another upcoming project.”

“On behalf of the Throgmartin Family, founders of the HHGregg retail establishment, we hired Chris McFarland to dispose of our final remaining asset in Ohio. Previously, we worked with Chris on the sale of a portion of this Property to Gordon Food Service, and subsequently, he brought the tenant, Planet Fitness, to us for the sale of our outlot in front of this Property. Chris was great to work with, persistent, thorough and communicative.
Once we had executed a purchase agreement with an Urban Air Franchisee for this site, he remained actively involved in order to help resolve any entitlement issues. He also devised a way to increase the parking capacity for the new user and advocated on our behalf for approval from the Township. We would absolutely recommend working with him.”

"Arthur and Matt were great to work with through every step of the sales transaction of our Village Center Shopping Center. Their insights and actions were instrumental in helping us navigate what turned out to be a very complicated sale transaction. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to divest a real estate asset."
