Musket Ridge Recommendation
"PNC went through a broker interview process. After reviewing the Marcus & Millichap underwriting and marketing plan, it was clear that Steve Ekovich's group was the obvious choice."

"It has been a very long time since I saw a broker have that type of influence over the process."

Barry Ehlert Testimonial
"I appreciate the professionalism on your part. We have been involved with deals in the past exactly what you are describing when you say “inside deal.” Unfortunately not as many brokers exhibit the same level of professionalism that you do and it’s a very tough issue to get around."
