We were looking for a new space to lease or purchase for our business. We saw a lease condo listing from Foldetta, where we met Sean Smith. After looking at the unit we decided it was not the right fit and we decided we wanted to purchase instead of leasing and engaged Sean.

Sean immediately started looking at locations for us to purchase, knowing we were under a time crunch. Sean was very professional and diligent, touring us through several locations before we found two adjoining business condos that fit our needs.

We were so impressed at the amount of time and effort Sean put into finding us the space we needed.
In addition, Sean was very instrumental in reviewing and processing the due diligence materials with the seller and the property management association that oversees the condos.

We highly recommend Sean Smith if you are looking for a caring and competent commercial real estate broker.

Respectably,

Sean is one of those rare people who combines his tenacity and zeal with good humor and strong people skills needed to bring the whole team together. I’ve known Sean for over ten years, we worked together while he was the Assistant Treasurer at CB&I and I served as the lead contact at Aon Surety. During that time, Sean and I built a strong relationship and I found him intelligent, hard working and a team leader. What impressed me most was Sean’s ability to juggle multiple projects simultaneously, making a considerable difference in team productivity. Sean earns my highest recommendation for a CFO role at a small-to-midsized company or top-level finance role for a Fortune 1000.

Few people have the opportunity to work with someone with the breadth of finance experience than Sean. I had the pleasure to work with Sean for 14 years at CB&I through his many roles: Real Estate Director, Business & Strategic Planning Manager, Assistant Treasurer, M&A and Director of Finance. Sean’s versatility and ability to lead each role at a very high level was a great asset to the Company. He leads by example, providing his team (direct reports and staff) both support and opportunities to grow their careers. As a team member or leader, Sean earns my highest recommendation. Sean is very easy to work with and brings out the best in his co-workers, staff, and everyone around him.

Sean’s experience was of great help, as he understood the local market and was able to quickly locate a handful of properties that met our requirements.  

On top of that, Sean also got us (i) sufficient time to complete the buildout, (ii) a clause that contractually obligates the Landlord to replace the HVAC unit if it fails plus (iii) FOUR FREE MONTHS OF RENT once we open for business.  

I highly recommend Sean Smith to anyone looking to buy, sell or lease commercial property.   Sean protected us from lease agreement risks & liabilities that we didn’t even know existed!

I am pleased to commend Mr. Sean Smith of Foldetta Commercial Real Estate for his exceptional service in securing tenants for our Woodland Plaza 1488 properties in record time.

Mr. Smith demonstrated superior market knowledge, guiding us seamlessly through tenant negotiations and rental rate setting. His expertise ensured we achieved optimal rental values, which tenants found acceptable, resulting in signed leases that aligned with our financial goals.

Beyond leasing, Mr. Smith tailored contracts to meet tenant needs, coordinated build-outs, and handled approvals and permits with county agencies and the Fire Marshal. His proactive management ensured timely tenant move-ins and early rent commencement.

Additionally, Mr. Smith’s diligence in researching property values and negotiating a land tax protest saved over $1 million in taxes for the owner. His efforts far exceeded our expectations and surpassed the results of four prior agents.

Mr. Smith's professionalism, integrity, and business acumen are a credit to Foldetta Commercial Real Estate, and I highly recommend his services.
