Commercial Real Estate Testimonials

Hughes Marino has been my real estate partner of choice since I started the company. They’ve advised on numerous expansions and lease renewals, and supported my team through issues around design and construction, operating expenses, and even dealing with our landlord on EV charging stations. They nail the details, and we trust them to ensure that we get the best deal, and help guide us to make the right operational and strategic decisions.

We have worked with Hughes Marino since 2007. Since that time they have assisted with over 10 lease negotiations, several build outs and multiple moves. They take the phrase “full-service” to a whole new level as experts in not only getting the deal done but helping the business remain productive during construction associated with moves and expansions. We look forward to continuing to grow with them.

We believe if you represent both plaintiffs and defendants there’s an automatic conflict, whether it be real or perceived. So it only made sense to choose Hughes Marino, a company that represents tenants only, to handle our lease negotiations in San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston and New York. With over 150 lawyers and 275 support staff, we have very specific space and technology requirements and Hughes Marino has the expertise to manage our leasehold improvements. We’ve certainly benefited from their tenant-only focus and full range of services. They are tireless in their efforts.

I have worked with the Hughes Marino team for over ten years, their knowledge of the office space market is extraordinary. They know all the players, and because they do so many deals and because of their depth of understanding of the market, I think Hughes Marino is able to help every tenant get the best deal possible.

Working with Hughes Marino these last five years was a fantastic experience. They are responsive, loyal, professional and understand client needs that achieve our goals and objectives. I had the privilege to work with Jason and Star on our most recent lease renegotiation and expansion. They did an excellent job of negotiating very favorable results⁠—all while insulating us from a tough negotiating landlord. The fact that they only represent tenants speaks to their success in achieving client satisfaction. Our transaction included a significant multi-floor occupied remodel, and Hughes Marino’s Planning + Design and Project Management teams worked together with Jason and Star to bring our office up to date and emulate our brand and values. We can’t recommend Hughes Marino enough!

If you are looking for a professional commercial broker that will always keep your best interest in front and work to ensure that you and your company’s needs are met every step of the way, then you should hire Hughes Marino.
