“They Help Us Get Deals Done by Being Timely and Diligent…Smart.”
“I hired Adam Leitman Bailey who stopped everything…it was a very large landlord… everything had stopped until we had a deal where we were getting the commission that we deserved. I was willing to take even less commission but Adam said we should get more and I listened to him and we did get, in fact, more than what we would have otherwise settled for.”

How did you meet the firm?

We worked with Adam with contracts, sales and rentals and negotiations…we recommend Adam to our clients to review contracts, to prepare contracts and the main reason why we use Adam to work with on leases is (1) their diligence and ideas and (2) their responsiveness. We can come to Adam or our clients can come to Adam we come straight to for our contracts and he will turn around 24 hours or review the contracts and have comments within 24 hours which is a real key in my business in getting deals done in responsiveness.

Because of his smarts and quick mind…but I can tell you if I had to go to court for litigation that I would use Adam all the way. He is a real sharp strategist and a real sharp thinker… a real fast thinker and I would definitely use him for litigation if I had to.
