Client Testimonials

I was impressed by the amount of time Jim spent on the listing, and the nights, weekends and early morning hours he dedicated to in the end getting the property sold regardless of Covid difficulties. It was not an easy job, but Jim stayed on the task and worked with me to get it sold in the end as smoothly as could have been anticipated. Jim was able to answer many questions on the property without always asking me. and was therefore more confident and knowledgeable with buyers. In my experience with brokers, that is not the case as they typically refer back to the sellers or provide misinformation. I would highly recommend Jim as he will no doubt outwork anyone to get your property sold for the best deal possible, and in the easiest manner.

Adam Kaufman
Former Owner of Expo on Clark

Jim and his investment sales team have proven to be great assets during my project to execute the disposition of my multi-tenant commercial investment asset. Jim and his team demonstrated great efforts over a several year period to assess my properties and provide valuable insight of the market, transactions, acquisition, and disposition timing and the dynamics in play at any given period to ensure I capitalized when the timing was most opportunistic. It is my opinion that Mr. Shiebler and the rest of the team would be an excellent brokerage team for any individual or company looking to execute a commercial asset disposition or trade into a different investment opportunity. Jim demonstrated the highest level of professionalism and always had my best interest in his dealings.

Don Deluca
Former Owner of Jamaica Bay Shopping Center

Jim brought a great deal of diligence and knowledge during the consideration process as to why it was in our best interest to seriously consider selling our St. Armand’s multi-tenant property. Jim also expertly crafted the story for the buyer pool that most effectively articulated the value of the asset and defended against all attempts to negotiate the list price. Jim generated great interest within 10 days of listing the property. Jim worked hard to generate offers and, as a result, he placed the property under contract with a buyer and ensured that they would perform on schedule. Although the buyer angled their dialogue and offer in an effort to secure a reduced price, Jim was able to successfully defend the list price and overall value of the asset. We ultimately selected the best buyer and offer that yielded a sale price that was 97% of the list price. We successfully closed shortly thereafter yielding our three-tenant retail property at $834 per square foot. I believe that Mr. Shiebler will be an excellent resource for any individual or company looking to dispose of a commercial investment asset or trade into a different investment opportunity. He has been nothing short of an exemplary sales agent.
