"We initially engaged Kris's services in 2020, when we were feeling disheartened by lack of effort/accommodation being put forth by our existing landlord. Kris took initiative in negotiating aggressively with the landlord, touring us through countless alternative spaces, and leveraging market options to create more value. We appreciated that throughout this process, Kris was always available to provide advice, answers to our questions, and more importantly, advocate on our behalf."
