I had the pleasure of working with Linda on a few lease renewals for Cushman & Wakefield's corporate clients as well as sought her expertise in building valuation. Linda is a consummate professional with top-notch negotiating skills and excellent financial analytics abilities which she applies successfully to drive the highest value for the client. The quality of her deliverables is simply outstanding! We always look to engage "la creme de la creme" for our tenant representation needs and Linda is the true embodiment of this caliber.
