“I am a principal partner in a San Francisco architectural firm. My two brothers and I decided to venture into the world of commercial real estate investment and as a first step, took a class at our local community college. We asked, the instructor, Gene Berman, if he would work with us as novice investors. Gene helped us through two years of exploration and education, and all the while, never lost his compass. He reviewed literally thousands of listings, helping us understand why certain ones could work, and why most others wouldn’t. His perseverance and counsel eventually led us to the ‘perfect deal,’ -- the right location, the right cash flow from the start, and a tremendous upside component inherent in the deal. Everything Gene has done for us has been diligent and thorough. He always seemed to render an honest opinion so you never got the feeling that he was trying to sell you something. Instead he deals for you as a strong, and most loyal advocate.”
