Client Testimonials

“If you are looking for help with Commercial realty, look no further than Verity. In a buyers’ market and a plethora of properties available I was lucky enough to be directed to Ken Traenkle. After over a year of unsuccessful results from the marketing of my real estate with other real estate firms I was referred to Verity Commercial. Immediately, Verity recognized the issues associated with the assignment and understood how to present the value of the real estate to other practices. Their approach was not about the physical real estate but how the real estate could be an asset to creating value for a business entity. Within a short period of time Verity had prospects, proposals and multiple offers. In addition, Verity demonstrated the highest integrity standards by always looking after my best interests above and beyond what was expected. I would highly recommend any Landlord or real estate owner to use Verity Commercial to fulfill their goals.” — Dr. Cook, Center for Advanced Orthopedic and Pain Management
