"I cannot fail to mention the incredible lease extension that you [Steve Schwegman and Former Associate] negotiated for us, enabling us to stay in our current space for another 6 months while maintaining our prior lease economics. ‘Not a sweeter deal was to be had' was how I described it to our CFO. Typically skeptical and expectant, she was speechless. Your ability to successfully manage our negotiations was another high point, to put it modestly. The proof was in the results – our outcome was truly stunning. … I can't imagine working with another team after experiencing your customer commitment, intelligence, energy, and market savvy."

Glenn Russell, Distribution Director, Emerson Distribution Services

Being novices in the real estate business, it was reassuring to have professionals such as Meridian Real Estate representing our interests. Meridian Real Estate will most certainly be Fanning/Howey Associates, Inc.'s first choice in any future real estate transactions."
