"
Joe Hornstein and
Bobby Hutchinson showed a wonderful understanding of the local commercial real estate market and matched me with exactly the type of property I was looking for. Timing was crucial for this transaction and they were able to flag a great deal, bring it to my attention, navigate a couple of rough patches and then bring it to completion smoothly and gracefully. At several points during this transaction their suggestions were invaluable. Their market knowledge was impressive and their customer service was 5 stars. I'm looking forward to further deals."

"
Rob Edwards, thanks again for all of your assistance through the sale of Woodridge. I much appreciated your undying enthusiasm and I'm so happy that this is behind us. Please also convey my thanks to Justin Krieger and best wishes for your success in a continued tough market."
......Dale Wagner
"I was very impressed with the professionalism of the Pinnacle Real Estate Advisors staff.
Kevin Calame was able to finesse any rough spots in the negotiations so that communication remained open and productive. From initial contact through to closing it was a very positive experience. You were awesome I hope we get to work together again."
......Dawn Shepherd - Executive Director, Englewood Housing Authority
"Introduced to
Matt Lewallen and
Kevin Calame through a mutual friend and part-time business associate, I was immediately impressed by their thorough knowledge of the Denver area and surrounds. Due to their own investment pursuits they quickly assessed my needs as a would-be-landlord and real estate investor. The comparables and market analysis research provided by Matt and Kevin was secondary only to the combined knowledge acquired by previous experiences.
After helping to identify the best possible investment for our situation, Kevin and Matt were consistent in looking for a property for us, assisting us through the closing process, advising us on improvements that would maximize our rental income and suggesting local contractors, landscapers, designers and property managers that may be useful to us throughout completion. We would not hesitate to repeat this process under their careful guidance."
......Doug Campbell
"After extensive searching and interviewing several realtors to assist me in selling and reacquiring some multifamily assets, I became reacquainted with
Kevin Calame and
Matt Lewallen and quickly decided to retain their services. I have worked with quite a few of the major brokers in Denver and have never experienced the innate work ethic, engaging personalities and depth of knowledge not only in the real estate market but also in human psychology that Kevin and Matt possess. These qualities, some of which can not be learned, are essential in their industry and I can assure you not all brokers enjoy these attributes. In short, Kevin and Matt are hard working, ethical and smart."
......Ronald Wells
"It didn't take us long to find out who the professionals were in the commercial real estate business! From our very first meeting with
Matt Ritter and his team, we knew we were in good hands. Despite my skepticism, we purchased our first commercial property due in part to the positive attitude and educated professionalism of Matt. We feel that he and his associates have our best interests at heart and they truly care about what happens to their clients even after the closing papers have been filed. Thanks for the push in the right direction - we will be back!"
......Paul and Valarie DeSalvo
"
Joe Hornstein, and
Matt Ritter, thank you for guiding the sale of our building to a very successful closing. We knew we were working with the best Denver brokers from our past business with you but this transaction solidified your reputation of the highest standing with us. You set the bar high for Denver commercial real estate. From setting the asking price based on carefully considered data and critical experience in the metro area, you made a very accurate judgment. We got very close to our asking and were very happy. There were minimal issues to deal with along the way and we ended up closing earlier than expected due to your careful guidance of the buyer."

Tom Ethington recently represented me as a tenant in a successful lease negotiation for restaurant space in Cherry Creek (Denver, CO). I was extremely impressed with Tom's ability to understand my business needs and analyze local demographics to strategically select locations my new restaurant concept would thrive. Tom was able to negotiate a great lease rate and even got the landlord to pay for a substantial amount of my build-out. The entire process, which was initially daunting to me as someone who had never done it before, was seamless thanks to Tom's help. I would wholeheartedly recommend Tom to anyone looking to lease retail space in Colorado, and I look forward to utilizing his services when I expand my business to new locations in the future."
......Tim Doherty
"Because of my planned retirement and other factors, I found myself trying to sell an apartment building in Lakewood in a pretty tough market for sellers in late 2008. My first attempt to sell was with Unique Properties who made claims to have the market covered in Lakewood as far as buyers and prospects were concerned. After six months we had very few showings and no solid offers. I decided to move my listing to Pinnacle because you were able to convince me that your past performance for apartments and rental properties in Lakewood were better than anyone's.
In the end you were able to sell my property through your persistence at a price that I could be happy with considering the high vacancies and difficult times for rental properties. Not only that, but you were able to produce a cash buyer who closed in less than 30 days after he first saw the property. I would heartedly reccomend
Josh Newell and his team at Pinnacle Real Estate Advisors to anyone trying to sell investment property (especially apartments) in the Denver area."
......Peter Heineman
"
Josh Newell and
JB Hochman of Pinnacle Real Estate Advisors provided great support and leadership during my apartment building purchase. They worked hard to make sure everything was taken care of so that the deal would be accomplished. All issues were resolved in a timely and satisfactory manner. I would recommend Josh and JB for any future sale or purchase."
......Ben Cudd
"
Tom Ethington recently sold a net leased Romano's Macaroni Grill restaurant in Greenwood Village, Colorado for me. Tom and I originally met when Tom called me to discuss the property and inquire into my plans and investment strategy. After meeting Tom in person, I was extremely impressed with his professionalism and market knowledge and decided to list the property for sale with him. After a comprehensive marketing campaign, Tom found a qualified buyer whom we went under contract with at an impressive 97% of list price. Tom shepherded the deal through escrow to a successful close, which is no small feat in this challenging market. As an owner of a national net leased property portfolio, I get calls from brokers every single day. The fact that I have decided to list other properties with Tom is a clear endorsement of how he operates his business and works with his clients, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a commercial property."
......Kurt Steves
"I hired
Kyle Malnati as a commercial real estate broker to assist me in locating and purchasing an apartment building. His expertise is unsurpassed. Kyle went beyond expectations and continues to do so. I highly recommend Kyle to anyone that is thinking about purchasing or selling commercial real estate."
.......Glen Holguin
"
Kyle Malnati, thanks so much for helping us buy the Willa Vista 1332 Williams Street. Our project has been very successful and you were a huge part. Congratulations on your new addition; she'll add so much to your life. Our most sincere wishes for a wonderful holiday season and a happy, healthy 2010."
......Taylor Bartels and Cameron DeGavre
"
Matt Ritter and
Jeff Johnson, thank you again for your help with the LaMont acquisition and the work leading up to it. I sincerely appreciate your contacts and networks. Thank you for sharing those with me and continuing to help me with my foray into this industry. I look forward to maintaining our working relationship and friendship as we work toward more deals together."
......Mark Bailey
"
Tom Ethington listed and sold a single tenant net leased Money tree property in Westminster, Colorado that I owned on December 15,2009. I am a Commercial Real Estate Broker in Idaho and I had found it difficult to market it long distance. After meeting and talking to Tom, I decided to list it with him. I was extremely impressed by Tom's attention to detail, his understanding of the market, his strong relationships with investors and brokers, and his marketing expertise.
I would whole heartedly recommend Tom to anyone looking to buy or sell a commercial property. He is intelligent, hard working, persistent, and has strong brokerage skills. Most importantly, I can tell that he cares about his clients and offers honest, straight forward advice."
......Gary Bates
"Kyle Malnati, Thank you for advising me and personally attending my tax appeal hearing before Denver's Board of Equalization while I was in California. I received responses from the City regarding assessments on 1122 Emerson Street and 1133 Corona Street.
1122 Emerson - Assessor initially claimed $593,000. We claimed $458,749. Based upon hearing, Board decided upon $458,749.
1133 Corona - Assessor initially claimed $600,900. We claimed $492,184. Based upon hearing, Board decided upon $500,000.
Two words: YOU ROCK! THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK. You've definitely raised the bar for real-estate professionals; something I've noted and will share with others! Again, many thanks!"
......Drew Field
"
Matt Ritter and
Jeff Johnson successfully sold our apartment complex with a minimum amount of stress on our part due to the most efficient attention to details. It was a pleasure instead of a hassle because of your skill in conducting all of the negotiations and both seller and buyer were pleased with the outcome."
......Fred and Doris Steputis
"
Matt Ritter and
Jeff Johnson, Glen and I wanted to thank you for all of your support in our latest purchase. Since we started working with you last year, we have more than quadrupled the number of units we own. This July, we reviewed our real estate and retirement goals. What we thought was a 5 year plan, you helped us accomplish in less than 3 months. With your support and continued guidance we have been able to increase profits in all of our properties. We look forward to working with you and your team on future opportunities. Thanks for going above and beyond!!"

Rob Edwards and
Justin Krieger recently represented me as the seller of a net leased restaurant building in Commerce City, Colorado. I was extremely impressed with Rob and Justin's professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to effectively market my property. They went above and beyond the typical broker responsibilities to effectively resolve any issues that arose during the process and handled routine closing arrangements so that we could close the transaction quickly and seamlessly. Despite a difficult market and few transactions, Rob and Justin secured a buyer and had the property under contract after only 10 days of marketing. I was extremely pleased with the sales price, which was 97% of list price. I would strongly recommend Rob and Justin to anyone looking to buy or sell commercial property. They are excellent brokers who provide exceptional advice, and they added significant value to my transaction."
......Marcus J. Mollmann - Principal, New West Investment, LLC
"
Rob Edwards listed and sold a Burger King property in Kansas we owned earlier this year. He drove out from Colorado to look at the property and understand the market. We were extremely impressed by Rob's attention to detail, his understanding of the market, his strong relationships with investors and brokers, and his marketing expertise. The deal was a difficult one due to the fact that the lease is based on a percentage of the tenant's sales. Due to that fact, we were unsure if we could find a buyer willing to pay the price we wanted. Rob did an excellent job during the marketing process, particularly in demonstrating the value of the percentage rent lease. Immediately upon listing the property, Rob created buyer competition. Through his network of broker and investor relationships, he found a qualified buyer willing to pay the highest price on the best terms and guided us through the transaction to closing. We would whole heartedly recommend Rob to anyone looking to sell a retail property. He is intelligent, hard working, persistent, and has strong brokerage skills. Most importantly, we can tell that he cares about his clients and offers honest, straight forward advice. Perhaps the best endorsement we can offer for Rob is the fact that we are going to list our other Burger King property with him."

"
Kyle Malnati, thank you so much for everything you have done in helping us sell our commercial property. You showed such professionalism, and went above and beyond what was expected. We appreciate your persistence and patience. In finalizing the sale, we were so impressed with your attention to detail and follow-through of inspection items. We would highly recommend you to any of our friends or business associates. Your knowledge and positive attitude will take you far!"
...... Michael and Misti Turra
"I want to thank Rob Edwards and Justin Krieger for your endless effort in putting together the deal to sell our Big O Tires building at Hampden and Tower. In what can only be characterized as a challenging market place you found a first class buyer and negotiated a very fair deal for both parties. If I ever consider selling my other property in Centennial, Colorado you'll be the first person I contact to assist me."
......Big O Tires Franchisee
"Matt Ritter, It truly has been a pleasure working with every member on your team. As a closer at a large national title company, it is reassuring to know that everyone at your company goes the extra mile to ensure that the deal runs smoothly and is closed in a timely manner. You always have your client's best interest in mind and will stop at nothing to lend a helping hand. I wish you nothing but the best in the years to come."
......Kate Dennis
"Kyle Malnati, I am writing to recommend and to thank you for all your hard work and your knowledge throughout the transaction at 1236 Pearl Street. You were a significant reason for the deal getting completed. I saw how you went the extra mile and worked hard for your client to assist in the sale. I don't think we would have made it to the closing without everything that you did to make sure it went smoothly. I would highly recommend you to anyone. Thanks again for all your help and I look forward to you selling me my next property as my agent."
......Cary & Dale Shames
"It was a pleasure to work with the Pinnacle Team. The University presented a unique property which required out of the box thinking to match a buyer with the property. Pinnacle was able to present numerous offers resulting in a favorable outcome. I personally appreciated the creative approach, patience and professionalism demonstrated by the Pinnacle Brokers."
...... Allan Wilson, Director of Building Service, University of Denver
"Kyle Malnati, It was a great experience working with you on our purchase of 1328 Corona Street. Scott and I are thankful we were able to close our deal and start working toward retirement! You made it happen and we truly appreciate that."
......Kiely Wilson
"Kyle Malnati, I am writing to thank you for all your hard work and your professional attitude throughout the transaction at 1236 Pearl Street – both on buying it and then selling it in December 2008. You truly went above and beyond on the sale of this property. I don’t think it would have made it to closing without everything that you personally did to make sure it went smooth – much outside the call of duty. I would highly recommend Kyle Malnati to anyone because of his knowledge, work ethic and positive attitude. Thanks for all your help and I look forward to many more future transactions with you."
......Darren and Sara Humbert (RKK Properties, LLC)
"Kyle Malnati, you did a great job with my purchase of our latest real estate investment at 1132 Marion Street. We have been in been in business for over 40 years in Capitol Hill and have rarely found a broker as thorough and diligent as yourself. You did a great job of moving the deal forward and staying ahead of the ball regarding all the details. In addition, you went beyond the call of duty to assist us in obtaining financing and also obtaining a very good contractor to make important modifications to the property. I do not hesitate to recommend you to others and I look forward to other transactions with you in the future."
......Solomon Leftin - President, Leftin Investment Company
"After owning and operating a HUD-assisted apartment complex for three decades our nonprofit corporation concluded we needed to sell our property. We attempted to sell the property on our own, working with another nonprofit organization. More than a year later, that failed.
We then talked to a number of commercial realty brokerage firms. We concluded our best opportunity was to engage Pinnacle Real Estate using JB Hochman and Josh Newell as our senior advisors. We made the right choice. Within a month we were presented with a contract nearly doubling our initial deal. Their knowledge of the smaller-property sector and their professional experience in working with buyers and sellers as well as with HUD brought us to close on the sale in eight months. We are delighted to recommend Pinnacle Real Estate Advisors."
......Jim Banman
"Bobby Hutchinson, from the time I decided to sell my 16 unit Littleton apartment property in April until the closing in July, I was convinced that I had chosen the right broker to handle the listing and sale. You were open to creative solutions such as having Brendan manage the property until it sold; a unique but perfect solution. Thank you for being very proactive in terms of communication with both the good and the bad news along the way. You handled the challenges of dealing with first time buyers and were absolutely focused on making sure we got to the closing table. Throughout the entire listing and escrow process, you were professional, responsive and knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to recommend you to others and in fact, have already done so."
......Barbara Breslin
"Joe Hornstein, It was really a pleasure working with you. As you can imagine, in the beginning I viewed our relationship as somewhat adversarial, since I was being represented by another broker and you were working with the Seller. But that certainly changed when the going got tough. I must give you and Bobby Hutchinson credit for putting the transaction back together and making it work when it looked like it might not happen. Seriously, in the end your knowledge of the process, and creative ideas made the difference. I will continue to sing praises of you and Pinnacle. Thanks again for all your help."
......Victor Anthony
"Mark Goodman and Paul Schneider, I thank you both for a job really well done. The closing of the sale of my commercial building in exactly three months, reflects real estate in a different time period. Your marketing efforts caused me to rethink my desire to sell my building! From day one, your efforts to keep me informed of activity and follow me across the country to update me were most appreciated. You made a smooth closing happen on time and secured a sales price that didn't reflect "gutting" in a difficult economy. Your very positive and organized approach through out the process caused me to include your knowledge and experience in my decisions. I am grateful for the referral that led me to you. My good wishes for your continued progress."
......Donna Pennington
"Mark Goodman and Paul Schneider, just wanted to tell you what a pleasure it was working with both of you on the sale of our property at 2170 South Grape Street in Denver. I can honestly say that you and your entire organization lives up to the promise of "customer service". Mark, your efforts on our behalf in obtaining the easement from our neighbors, researching the history on our original lot lines, and finding a buyer provided a "win-win" for them and for us. And you finding a heating and air conditioning company was well above and beyond the call of duty - those things just don't happen. It was a pleasure for all of us working with you and your entire team at Pinnacle Real Estate Advisors."
......Dennis M. Dougherty
"Josh Newell, JB Hochman, and Chad Miller of Pinnacle Real Estate Advisors provided great support and leadership during my apartment building purchase. They worked hard to make sure everything was taken care of so that the deal would be accomplished. All issues were resolved in a timely and satisfactory manner. I would recomend Josh, JB and Chad for any future sale or purchase."
......Ben Cudd (BCLM Properties LLC)
"Kyle Malnati and Jeff Johnson, In this day and age, endeavors in Real Estate are often described as stressful. Thanks to your expertise and hard work I can attest to the contrary. The sale of my family's apartment building in 2007 went without a single hitch. I have shared this information with friends and business associates and am sure that you will recieve future business from my referrals."
......Bill Burgess
"Kyle Malnati and Matt Ritter, thank you for a job well done! As you well know, I was under a great deal of stress as I tried to locate a property for my 1031 Exchange. I had never purchased an apartment building and really needed someone I could trust. Eight months after purchasing 236 S. Logan Street I can say I picked the right team. You were honest with your assessment of all the properties that you showed me and promptly provided all the information I requested. You said that I would be able to raise the average rents from $550 to $650 and you were right. All the vendors you reffered, from the lender to the inspector were excellent choices. Through this experience both of you have gained my trust and respect and I look forward to our next deal together."
......Glen Holguin
"Kyle Malnati's attention to detail, his expertise and his willingness to find solutions when faced with complex situations were key to the successful conclusion of a recent 1031 exchange. Not only did he and Pinnacle quickly find a buyer for the apartment, but he helped navigate the complexities of a multi-state purchase of commercial properties during an unprecedented upheaval in the lending sector. The tasks he had to face would have been daunting to a seasoned veteran, but he tackled each one with calm resolve. Everything from negotiations of long term leases to Phase II environmental studies were part of the multifaceted dealings necesary for completion of the exchange, and all of this under strict time constraints. Kyle understands that working honestly to achieve the best results for his clients rather than just trying to make a fast commission is what leads to lasting and profitable associations. I would turn to no one else for any future real estate needs."
......Ed Davidson
"Joe Hornstein, I wanted to thank you, Bobby Hutchinson, and Brendan Fenn for your help in finding a suitable replacement property for my 1031 exchange. Working with a tight time frame, you worked quickly and presented several good options. Due to your attention to detail and responsiveness the transaction was very smooth. I am looking forward to more transactions in the future."
......Ed Young
"We were extremely pleased with the services Joe Hornstein and Bobby Hutchinson provided in selling our eight-unit building at 1230 Washington St. in Denver last month. I cannot say we were surprised, though, as it was the fourth multi-unit building Joe and Bobby sold for us in a little less than a year. They provided advice that went beyond selling. We had complete trust in them. We knew they were looking out for our best interests at all times. In short, I felt as though we had a true partnership as opposed to a realtor/client relationship."
......Howard Saltz
"Joe Hornstein, Bobby Hutchinson, and Brendan Fenn, I want to thank you for your efforts. You were able to find what I consider a really good multi-family purchase in a great area. While I understand the circumstances were unusual in my being able to purchase this building, the fact is that due to your diligence, I was the first buyer to write an offer on the building, after it's substancial price reduction. This is the second building you have been able to find for me and I appreciate your efforts and always quick responses and follow up to all of my emails and questions."
......Louie Kaufman
" I am very satisfied with the help provided by the Pinnacle Team headed by Bobby Hutchinson. All of my dealings with the company were pleasant and efficient and every detail was properly attended to."
......Michael Yokell
"Kyle Malnati, I again would like to thank you and all of the professionals at Pinnacle. The thoroughness of your resource information, the detailed analysis, and the approach of "complete" assistance to the customer, were the best that I have ever experienced. With that approach it is no wonder why you are so succesful."
......Randall R. Beeson
"Joe Hornstein and Bobby Hutchinson, we wanted to commend you on a job well done on our recent closing. You guys went out and found us the deal we were looking for, in the area we were looking in, and got us in the door before it hit the market. You have an unbelievable network of contacts in the business and truly know the market and how to get these deals done. You represented us very, very well and covered all aspects of our investments, as if it were your own. We look forward to working with you in the very near future."
......Chad and Kent (Peak Property Investments)
"Being an out of town investor, I came into the Denver market with little knowledge about the city or the opportunities available. Fortunately, I found Matt Ritter. From then on it was smooth sailing. He helped me find a number of promising properties. When the time came to decide, his experience and guidance made the process not only easy but fun. He and the team at Pinnacle helped me with details I couldn't have imagined existed. Even the transition from closing to finding management and vendors went well. I look forward to doing business with Matt and Pinnacle again in the future. They are the best."
......Jason Howard
"Joe Hornstein and Bobby Hutchinson, thanks for everything in getting our apartment buildings sold. I appreciate the hard work and diligence. I appreciate the fact that you worked with my property manager and, in some cases, my tenants, which relieved me of the burden of having to attend to every aspect of a showing. I am quite aware that at least two of the deals would not have gotten done if you didn't find creative solutions to satisfy the buyers and me. And I know you were able to prevail upon the buyers' agents in both cases to get creative too. Two of those buyers were quirky, and yes, maybe they thought I was quirky. Nonetheless, It took some patience and perseverance to get deals done in those situations. I also appreciate the candid advice about the properties, the marketplace, and suddenly-changing lending practices. I believe, and continue to believe, that you aren't just realtors representing me. I consider us a team. I feel very comfortable knowing that."
......Howard Saltz
"Jeff Johnson, It has been a while since we worked on the sale of my apartment building in Denver but I remember often what a good experience it was. For a 50 year old building it was an excellent sale which returned $100,000/dwelling unit. It was a continuous pleasure working with you without the usual stress of most real estate transactions. Sorry, I don't have any more properties to sell; If I did I would readily request your services. I hope all is going well with you and that the year '07 proves to be highly prosperous."
......Richard H. Sundell
"Joe Hornstein was instrumental with regards to my most recent acquisition, 1148 Washington Street, a nine unit apartment building in Capitol Hill. There is always Clairvoyance with retrospect, and looking back, I am glad to have had Mr. Hornstein brokering the abovementioned deal. As is often the case with many transactions, this deal had its own unique ups and downs, through which Joe successfully navigated. This deal required incessant "give and take" from all parties involved and Joe's tenacity, focus, and professionalism are what ensured a successful transaction to transpire. I come from the mentality that character is essential in the prediction for success in life. Character comes from the discipline of going after long term goals with a systematic and daily approach. I have found that Mr. Hornstein exudes character both professionally and personally in his interactions with his clients. I will strongly consider Mr. Hornstein with regards to future acquisitions. Why? Because of his experience, creative thinking skills when it comes to structuring a deal, and most especially, his ability to progress through the inevitable trials and tribulations that are inherent in every real estate transaction."
......Blaine Werrin
"Matt Ritter, Joe Hornstein, and Kyle Malnati, we are so pleased to have just closed on Humbolt Street and to have met all of our goals in this purchase. We wanted to say thanks to the three of you as we attribute this success to the guidance, expertise and constant accessibility of the Johnson Ritter team. We want to congratulate Joe on his keen search capabilities and persistence in finding just the right building for our situation and always making yourself available any day of the week or evening to help us. Kyle was always immediately there for us whatever size question we had and always had the right answer, even on a Sunday! Matt Ritter has an encyclopedic knowledge of the Denver area and we thank you for always keeping your eye on our success which is why we expect to be doing much more business with you in the coming years in Denver, you are our only choice. We extremely appreciate all of the referrals you have given us from inspectors to contractors as they like you are also top in their fields and we feel well taken care of. Matt, you made what could have been a very complicated transaction into a very simple one. Thank you and we very much look forward to working with you again."
......Susanne Steward
"Bobby Hutchinson, Joe Hornstein and Brendan Fenn, I wish to express my appreciation for the smooth transaction relating to my purchase of 966 S. Logan St, a 14 unit apartment building in West Wash Park. As a real estate broker in Washington State, one of my on going tutorials to my agents is to always return phone calls and emails as soon as possible, regardless if it is good or bad news. (I am always amazed at the number of agents that do not do this.) Your communication skills are excellent and I was always aware of the status of the transaction. You handled the initial negotiation, the apartment and appraisal inspections and the final inspection waivers very well and smoothly. Thanks again."
......Louie Kaufman
"Bobby Hutchinson and Joe Hornstein, you guys can interrupt my vacation any time you have a full price clean Contract. Because of your professionalism and hard work, this was one of the smoothest transactions I have experienced. I was impressed on how you answered questions and kept all Parties informed. It was definitely a pleasure to work with your team."
......Jim De Sena (Senco Investments LLLP)
"Jeff Johnson and Matt Ritter, what an impossible position you must be in from time to time. To move skillfully from salesman to referee of an agreement involves unusual people skills, which you amply demonstrated in our sale of the Cambridge property. A multi-million dollar deal and two fairly headstrong people would challenge anyone. Six months under contract and a 6 inch file testify to the problems and the patience you were able to surmount, and we are indeed grateful. It was no small feat, and I do not know another broker who would have been able to do the job so well as you did."
......John & Joanne McElderry
"Many thanks to the team at Pinnacle for bringing our transaction at 1260 Logan Street to a successful close. It was complicated – there were many players, in different cities, with differing ideas of how things ought to go. But Kyle Malnati & Matt Ritter were careful, thoughtful and successfully navigated all the curves along the road. We recommend Pinnacle to anyone wishing to be involved with investment real estate."
......Robert Davidson & Shellie Specter
"Joe Hornstein, we recently completed our acquisition of the Ralston Oaks Apartments in Arvada and I'd like to take a moment to express our gratitude for your efforts. This was the third acquisition in the past couple of years in which your actions and diligence efforts have lead to successful purchases for companies that I am affiliated with. Ralston Oaks was the first transaction that you and I handled exclusively and now I am able to appreciate your ability and efforts even more. You had a clear understanding of our needs and you provided timely and professional prepared information that made the completion of our 1031 exchange as streamlined as possible.
It certainly is a pleasure to work with you and I look forward to putting together another transaction with you and your team members."
......David Crabb
"Matt Ritter, I wanted to express my gratitude for helping me find the perfect replacement property for my exchange. My schedule was tight and my needs were rather particular so I knew I set you up for a difficult challenge. I needed a tenacious hunter and you came through in a very big way.
Pinnacle was extremely professional and attentative to details all the way through what was a frictionless transaction. You communicated important information on a regular basis so that I always felt in control despite being an out-of-town investor on a limited schedule who could not be there for every detail. And equally important you provided valuable referrals whenever I needed them. You are a Realtor's Realtor so thanks again for a great experience."
......Roger Hayek
"Bobby Hutchinson, I feel so fortunate to have been referred to you and Matt by our mutual friend and business associate. You delivered on everything you promised in the sale of 38 unit apartment property in a most timely fashion and without a single glitch from execution of the Contract right through and including the closing. Clearly, you and your associates to the homework necessary to properly value your product, qualify your buyer prospects and select the appropriate financial entity to successfully close the transaction. Your professional and ethical standards set the bar pretty high for your competitors. It has been my distinct pleasure to work with you and your firm and I am pleased to now have the opportunity to refer you and Pinnacle Real Estate Advisors to my friends and business associates. Thank you and good luck on all your future endeavors."
......Terry Smith
"Kyle Malnati I am writing to thank you for all your hard work and your professional attitude through out the transaction at 1236 Pearl Street. I have dealt with agents in the past who seem to be working against me instead of for me so my experience with you and the team at Pinnacle was very unexpected and pleasant. I would highly recommend Kyle Malnati to anyone because of his knowledge, work ethic and positive attitude. Thanks for all your help and I look forward to many more future transactions with you."
......Darren Humbert
"I wanted to take a minute to thank you Mark Goodman, Jim Gunning, and Paul Schneider for your outstanding work in locating a building for our facilities. I have lost track of how many properties we looked at together over the past six months. We are very happy with the location we finally found. I appreciate your patience and your professionalism in holding out to find us exactly the space our unique needs to require.
......Daniel L. Rockne with TreeHill Landscape
“Your ‘can do’ attitude over the past three years has definitely made us feel that you have our best interest in mind when approaching the challenges that come with investing in large real estate properties. Thank you for your support, guidance, and professionalism when putting together these deals.”
......Judy A. and Dallas M. Sherman
“It’s always a pleasure to work with the best in the given field. That’s what the
Johnson-Ritter team is in the field of investment properties! I appreciate your tireless efforts, attention to every detail, concern for your client’s interest, honesty and integrity toward both buyer and seller, and doing it all with a cooperative and gracious attitude!”
......Gary Preston (G & G Property)
“I would like to thank you for all your help in the many real estate deals that we have done together over the years. It’s hard to believe that you’ve helped me buy and/or sell 8-10 properties already. I have been able to count on you to get the job done.
