Stephen Skinner is a consummate professional with a deep understanding of complex commercial real estate transactions. Our company had an extremely specific set of requirements for a rare land acquisition in an exceptionally tight market. Stephen not only identified and secured the ideal site, but also navigated a multifaceted negotiation process that left both buyer and seller highly satisfied — no small feat in today's environment. In a separate transaction, Stephen guided us through a strategic 1031 exchange, identifying a high-quality replacement property that aligned perfectly with our long-term growth objectives. He then successfully leased the property to a national tenant at above-market rates, structuring a sophisticated lease agreement that supported our expansion plans. Stephen's insight, discretion, and negotiation acumen have made him an indispensable partner in our real estate strategy.
Stephen Skinner's market timing and strategic guidance were critical in achieving our long-term goals. He advised us to sell at peak market conditions and secured a strong offer with timelines tailored for a seamless 1031 exchange. Stephen then identified a fully leased triple-net investment that now provides reliable passive income — allowing me to retire with peace of mind. His expertise made the entire process smooth and successful.
Stephen Skinner's strategic insight and execution created substantial value for our investment. He identified a mis-marketed property and negotiated a purchase well below market value, including a further reduction at closing. Post-acquisition, he successfully secured Tesla Motors as a credit tenant on a long-term lease with above-market rent, significantly enhancing the asset's performance and long-term value. His market knowledge and deal-making skill are second to none.
