“Mike Howard, and CBRE Brokerage Services, were an absolute pleasure to work with on a recent real estate transaction my client closed in November 2018, in the City of Cleveland. My Client, had utilized several other brokerage services in the Cleveland area, and they produced little-to-no results, and offered little in the way of solutions. Once my Client engaged Mike, and his team, the question rapidly became what deal should we take? Mike’s contacts, self initiative, and desire to find the right party for my Client led to an excellent conclusion. Mike was available at all hours via phone, email, or in person, and kept my Client informed of any activity that was occurring on the listed properties. He provided well-thought out solutions to issues, and was critical in helping put together a solid deal that led to a solid result. His knowledge of the market, professionalism, and demeanor are invaluable tools that serve his clients well. I would recommend Mike and CBRE to any Client without hesitation.”

“In May of 2015, Mr. Howard took over the listing of several multi-tenant industrial buildings we own in the Warrensville Heights, Ohio area. The condition of the properties has deteriorated over the years and there is a great amount of competition in the area from newer and more modern properties. Within a short amount of time, Mr. Howard was able to improve our occupancy rate to 100%, as well as increase our rental rate and the quality of tenant. He was also able to give some great advice regarding the aesthetics of the property by having us implement some low cost, high impact improvements. He is also extremely professional and a tremendous wealth of knowledge regarding the market in the Greater Cleveland Area. I would highly recommend Mr. Howard for your commercial real estate needs.”

"Michael, I wanted to formally thank you for your assistance in helping me find the perfect office space!!! Prior to us connecting, my office move was a very stressful and overwhelming thought! In working with you, however, you made sure to have a clear understanding of type of space I was looking for and provided me with a number of different options to explore. In the end I love the space that we’ve chosen, and I am more than satisfied with your level of professionalism and expertise! You come highly recommended from team B.I.G.!”

"Mike Howard was, in a relatively short period of time, able to generate interest in the industrial properties located in Plymouth, OH from a couple of potential owner/users, causing the current tenant to step up and purchase the property----and at an attractive price. Great result, appreciate getting Mike on board. He did a great job and was a pleasure to work with"
