The Historic Ford Factory
660 Lincoln Avenue
Walnut Hills/Cincinnati, OH

“Michele Laumer and Beth Walter as our leasing team contributed not only their professional expertise and experience to the successful lease up of 660 Lincoln (106% occupancy!), but their own personal enthusiasm and energy for adaptive reuse redevelopment projects, which was extremely important in generative excitement and confidence in the Project we were envisioning.

The components of the lease negotiations were complex, protracted and required creativity and experience. Michele and Beth Walter guided us through the maze of terms and conditions and counseled us very well on how to get the deal done so that each party could say “yes” and feel very good about the outcome.

We believe as a direct result of their efforts, their contribution of personal belief in what we were working to accomplish, this Project is the success that it is.”

Seapine Software
5412 Courseview Drive
Mason, OH

“Thank you for finding the perfect fit for Seapine Software. I do not believe another firm would have produced the results that Carey Laumer Commercial has produced for us. From identifying the location, to negotiating the terms and advising us on every step along the way, I could have be happier with your performance. Even after we closed the deal, you were able to help us plan our business open house.

This transaction could have been traumatic, but Carey Laumer made it easy and trouble free. I was able to focus my time on the day to day operations of Seapine knowing you were taking care of all the details and had our best interests in mind throughout the entire process.”

We highly recommend you to any firm needing help with its real estate decisions."

Michele Laumer is one of those rare professionals who not only met my expectations but exceeded them. In the past, we have negotiated all of our property leases with internal personnel. During our most recent negotiations, Michele was consistently proactive, always looking for innovative solutions and using techniques that promoted and protected our position as much as possible. With Michele on our team, we reached a new level of accomplishment and professionalism. She has earned the respect and admiration of everyone with whom she worked.”

Because the Seller had not established a purchase price for the facility, your understanding of the market combined with your knowledge of qualified professional resources was critical in allowing us to make this $23 million decision with confidence. Your solid acquisition experience was extremely valuable to us as you engineered creative negotiation strategies that resulted in an outcome that exceeded our expectations. Your anticipation of and attention to all the layers of details every step of the way led to a very successful outcome. We highly recommend you to other companies who are looking for a superior level of representation, expertise and service.”

From National Realtors/Brokers

Jackson & Cooksey
Dallas, TX

I am writing to thank you for your valuable local expertise, assistance and teamwork servicing an important national client of mine. Your ability to find a qualified buyer for my client’s building enabled us to deliver the solution that the corporate real estate department had determined it wanted: sell its office building and then lease space in a location that would be much better suited for the company’s current needs.

I can say with confidence that as a result of working with you and Carey Laumer Commercial, my relationship with my national client has been strengthened and for that I am most grateful. In this highly competitive environment, exceeding a client’s expectations is the best way to ensure an ongoing relationship.

I would highly recommend you and Carey Laumer to other national account brokers who may need a top-notch Cincinnati broker to help them every step of the way. You can be sure that Jackson & Cooksey will call you to help us with our next Cincinnati requirement.
