Commercial Real Estate Testimonials

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!

Our family at Mission Legal Center was thrilled by the results achieved by Hughes Marino. They were able to get us everything we wanted! We have noticed in our practice, as well as with our experience with Hughes Marino, that using a specialist in a field makes a tremendous difference in results. We look forward to using Hughes Marino for our commercial real estate needs in the future.

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.

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 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.

My firm has used the Hughes Marino team twice for our 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 office needs in the future. Hughes Marino has my highest recommendation.

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.

After not having much luck on our own and using another tenant rep, we hired Hughes Marino to help us renegotiate our lease for our office space. The market and our office needs had changed substantially and we were overpaying for our space. Hughes Marino developed a plan and was more aggressive dealing with the property management company. The plan was executed and we renewed our lease early with a substantial decrease in the cost per square foot along with updates to terms.

There are many of us who consider Hughes Marino to be the most effective tenant-focused firm in real estate in our market area. Hughes Marino successfully represented HCAP Partners twice during the last 10 years, first identifying excellent quality space for our head office, and later assisting us in relocating and expanding our growing business into equally good quality space at a much lower price per square foot than I thought possible. In both cases, I couldn’t have been more impressed with Hughes Marino’s performance. They used in-house lawyers for documentation and in-house construction managers for the build out. My experience has been that Hughes Marino excels at locating and negotiating deals, and has been significantly more favorable for us than have been several of their competitors.

Jason and the team at Hughes Marino provided a quality of service like we were leasing the entire building, not just one of the 30 floors. We felt like they were part of our company as they led us through the sourcing and leasing process.

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.
