Commercial Real Estate Testimonials

The style of Hughes Marino mirrors the style of the lawyers here at Cooley – they have excellent business judgment and they focus on the business goals of their clients. We have worked with Hughes Marino frequently with our own clients and have always been impressed with their skills and assertiveness. Their market knowledge is encyclopedic.

We have used their expertise for each of the four offices we have had over the last 8 years, and we have always ended up with a superb deal. When it comes time to move or expand, we will again use Hughes Marino.

The team at Hughes Marino is patient, responsive, and knows the commercial real estate market very well. They guided our company through the long process of identifying the right space for our relocation and negotating terms that worked for us and were acceptable to the landlord. Throughout the process, they communicated consistently and in a way that was easy for laypersons such as me to understand. I highly recommend Hughes Marino for any commercial real estate needs. I would use their services again in a heartbeat.

I and my various companies have worked with the team at Hughes Marino since 1999. During that time and across a half dozen or more space searches, they have been the consummate professionals. Always responsive and thorough in their work, they are a pleasure to do business with. Even though we regularly get approached by others, Hughes Marino is the only tenant rep we use – I highly recommend them.

Hughes Marino makes me look good. We are currently using Hughes Marino in our search for additional space. During a recent executive meeting, the Board talked about how thrilled they were with the current facilities negotiations. One of the members asked how we found Hughes Marino and the Board told them I brought them in. I was deemed the “smartest guy in the room” for making that happen. They make me look good!

I had the pleasure or working with Hughes Marino after an acquisition my company made in San Diego. We needed to move office locations quickly to support our expansion plans. Being located in upstate New York, I needed a partner that was not just extremely knowledgeable in the local commercial real estate market, but also offered the highest level of personal and professional integrity, and someone who was extremely easy to work with and accessible outside of normal hours. Hughes Marino exceeded all my expectations, and we were able to conclude a great deal very quickly. Their team articulated the nuances of the local market, provided well researched perspectives and recommendations on how to navigate our strategy with both our current and future landlords, and made introductions for me with other companies that are now helping with our interior design and move. If you are seeking a creative thinking team for your commercial real estate requirements, I highly endorse Hughes Marino for their exemplary leadership, integrity, technical knowledge, customer service and follow through. I am confident they will represent and serve both you and your company as a dynamic and contributing member of your team, wherever the appropriate opportunity presents itself.

I am very thankful to have been represented by Hughes Marino during our recent relocation. There were several areas that I am sure I would have overlooked had I attempted it myself. I plan to use Hughes Marino for all future needs. Great Experience!

Hughes Marino Rocks! They have been helping me expand our corporate footprint here in San Diego for the past 10 years. The Hughes Marino organization has not only helped me with my commercial real estate needs, but they have also added value by referring top talent, contractors and business, accounting and law firms to our organization. I fully endorse the Hughes Marino organization and plan on using them for all future businesses that I am involved with here in San Diego.

I have worked with several of the team members at Hughes Marino throughout my career and always ended up with a great deal and one that always worked well for my company. Their attention to detail and out of box thinking ensured that we always were in the perfect space for our company and at the right price and time. I would highly recommend them and will definitely use them in the future! Great team and always a positive experience!

My firm has used the Hughes Marino team twice for our San Diego office needs. Both times they have exceeded expectations and delivered us deals that I did not think existed in the market place. Their knowledge of assets and relationships with landlords/ owners is second to none. We plan on utilizing their services for all of our San Diego office needs in the future. Hughes Marino has my highest recommendation.

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!
