“We started working with Etkin Equities in 2004. We’d talked
to several firms, but felt most comfortable with Etkin.
They listened when we talked about our business and
what we wanted in a facility. As a result, we are happy
with Etkin Equities and would look forward to working with
them again.”

““Everyone talks about service, but Etkin Equities is one
commercial real estate firm that really understands that the
key to superior service is establishing a personal relationship

respond to the requirements of our company. The result is that
our new headquarters building was truly built to suit our needs.”

of the PricewaterhouseCoopers project and brought
it in on time and on budget. When we build

set a performance standard that should impress
their competition."
