Client Testimonials
“Dan Blackwell is a great example of what a professional real estate broker should be. He operates with professionalism and dedication and does not sacrifice integrity to get a deal. I would highly recommend Mr. Blackwell for any real estate investor/development company looking to market existing or new multifamily properties. His level of expertise and service is unparalleled.”
Roger Hobbs, RC Hobbs Company
“I wanted to express our sincere gratitude to you and your team at CBRE for all the hard work and professionalism during our last three acquisitions. All three properties required additional follow through and management. We felt comfortable with you and your team’s competence during the entire process.”
Jim Colombo, Pointe Vista Management
"I did not believe I would be selling my property anytime soon, after it was recently listed and expired by another firm. However, Dan and the CBRE multifamily team went above and beyond my expectations in selling my property. They not only obtained a great price for my property, but made it very easy for me to transact considering I was overseas for 90% of the time. They also did a great job working closely with my team and coordinating a seamless closing. We really enjoyed working with Dan and team and would highly recommend them.”
Chandulal Patel, Private Investor
“Dan and his team did a terrific job under difficult circumstances. The deal faced many difficult hurdles that could have ended the transaction but through perseverance and professionalism they were able to maintain transaction structure, communications and ultimately close the deal on time. We are very pleased with the opportunity and certainly believe the completed transaction was fair for both buyer and seller. We would recommend using Dan and his team highly and look forward to working with this team in the future. Thanks for your hard work!”
John Nunn, NNC Apartment Ventures, LLC
“We are very pleased to have closed escrow with the team and want to thank you for effectively marketing the property and managing the transaction from start to finish. We appreciate your high level of professionalism and personal service with this deal and are looking forward to the next one. We would highly recommend you to anyone who is in need of representation regarding the sale of apartments in Covina or the surrounding area.”
David Jankowski & Mark Chalfin, Revere Investments
“Dan listed and sold a 68 unit property for our group and we are very happy with the outcome. His marketing process was very effective, which generated multiple qualified offers. Dan added value and executed as promised”
Rand Sperry, Sperry Equities
“I want to thank Dan Blackwell and the CBRE multifamily team for another successful acquisition. This is the third multifamily property Dan Blackwell has represented us on within 2 years with a total acquisition of over 100 apartment units. We have been expanding our portfolio in Orange County and with high levels of buyer competition we have relied heavily on Dan’s ability to negotiate on our behalf and deliver positive results. Thank you for staying on top of the market and working hard for us.”
Tracey Schroeder, Schroeder Investment Partners, Inc.
“Thank you for all the hard work and professional standards that you showed me during the recent 1031 exchange transaction. With your profound knowledge of the real estate investment market, I feel very confident that I can count on you for future investment decisions. Thanks again for all your persistence and support.”
Tom Nguyen & Vivienne Higgins, TN Investments Group
