Testimonials:

"...we needed to quickly find a new home for our business that would support us not only today, but well into the future as we aim to be a long-term player in the Bend Area. Thanks to insightful questions around our needs, the diligent work in finding options, and extensive market knowledge of Erich and Howard, we were able to quickly locate a property in an up and coming business park that would meet our needs and our budget ... Erich and Howard professionally and expeditiously helped ... us close on the property with all issues resolved ... we are so thankful to have them on our team." 

"As advocate for an elderly friend, I recently sought help from Compass Commercial Real Estate Services. We needed to find a new commercial property tenant. And by lucky chance Howard Friedman became our agent. Howard offered thoughtful professional guidance at every step, from appropriate rent range to comprehensive lease terms. Then he worked diligently to identify qualified prospects. He never overlooked a detail. End result: A most happy landlord/tenant relationship. And I've gained a valuable new friend in the process. Thanks, Howard.”

"Howard Friedman and Compass Commercial worked diligently to secure a tenant for our lease space.  Howard's work was meticulous and timely in securing a good tenant.  He went the extra mile to make sure we were happy."
