We pride ourselves on our client relationships. Here is what a few of those clients have to say about working with Wasserman Commercial Real Estate:
"Wasserman Commercial did a fantastic job helping us with our relocation, from finding the right building, negotiating with the landlord, negotiating the lease, and our move. Their professionalism, persistence, integrity and results is excellent. No company should use anyone else."

“Robert and his team were very responsive to our real estate needs. He negotiated excellent terms and tenant improvements which gave us great value for the term of our lease. He was very knowledgeable about the state of the market which ultimately allowed us to negotiate an optimal transaction.”

“Working with Robert Wasserman is a pleasure. He is a creative and market-savvy professional who delivers results. When we hired him to find us an office space to lease, he did a superb job at showing us all of our options. He even presented us with options that we did not know existed, such as a building that was for sale but not yet on the market. In the end, this building turned out to be a perfect fit for us and a superb investment after Robert negotiated an outstanding deal for us."
Richard J. Greene, Esq.
Greene, Fidler & Chaplan

Not only did he out perform expectations at each milestone (search, find, negotiate and deal), but he brought a level of professionalism and integrity to the relationship that I appreciated as he worked on our behalf. This coupled by his extensive market knowledge and history in enterprise-level commercial real estate, facilitated an extremely smooth lease negotiation that delivered more value than what we ever expected.”

"When it came time to move our agency, a friend referred us to Robert. Robert took the time to understand the needs of our organization. He was very respectful of our time and helped us focus on properties that fit our specifications perfectly. Robert then used his experience to guide us through the pros and cons of each space. After we decided on a building, Robert was extremely proactive and negotiated the best deal possible with tremendous landlord participation. We have validated our deal with other tenants and know that Robert served us extremely well. Robert was a pleasure to work with and we would have no hesitation to work with him again or to refer him to other companies."

“Robert found us ideal space in a tight real estate market that fit our needs perfectly. He started representing us when we were a relatively new company. We then moved into 82,000 square feet where Robert secured a lease with multiple options to expand and extend. We now occupy approximately 140,000 square feet at a rate significantly below current market rates. Robert’s ability to tailor our needs and to negotiate a tremendous real estate lease on our behalf is just amazing. Not sure how you pulled it all off Robert, but we think the world of you!”

“Over the years, our various business interests have owned, occupied, and utilized several million square feet of commercial real estate. About 10 years ago, after a period of inactivity, we found that we needed some assistance with our real estate. We were introduced to Robert and shortly thereafter, he became our “go-to” real estate professional. Not only does he do a superb job in gathering all the relevant and necessary facts, he also takes the hype, hustle, and anxiety out of the real estate decision-making process. He is a consummate professional and represents us to our ultimate advantage. And, as welcome bonus, he is a super human being as well.”
