Testimonials

Deena was recommended to me by a trusted friend and colleague. I am a female business owner and was excited to work with a female commercial real estate broker. What struck me immediately about Deena’s approach is how relational she is and how she was invested in knowing about me and my business. I run a therapy practice and it was clear that she understood and appreciated the nuances of my business when looking for the right property.  I received “top shelf” service when working with Deena and her team and could not be happier with the location that is now the home for my business.  She made excellent recommendations in terms of finding a real estate attorney so I could protect my interests and my business and was also a strong advocate for me in the negotiations with my landlord.  She has maintained the connection and continues to be a supporter of me and my business. I recommend her highly!

Joe Magliochetti – Chief Investment Officer – Remedy Medical Properties

Deena is one of the industry’s most dynamic participants. She gives her time to organizations and to her clients. Very few people are as good of listeners as Deena is. She is a role model for everyone and she will serve your needs with professionalism and perfect execution.

David Kasprisin – Branch Manager – Wintrust Mortgage

Deena is an amazing, all-star, commercial retail broker in Chicago. Her personality and enthusiasm lights up any room and she is passionate about helping her clients find the perfect space for their needs. I’ve recommended/referred her to several of my own clients and everyone has been extremely satisfied with her level of professionalism and commitment to finding the right location for their businesses. Deena is the go-to commercial broker in Chicago and I feel extremely honored to have had the opportunity to have worked with her.

Aalap Shah – Founder, 1o8 

Deena works so incredibly hard for her clients that it’s hard to summarize it in one review. She is the ultimate optimist – striving towards goals that can seem impossible is natural to her. She treats everyone in the deal process with respect and her follow-up is impeccable. But if I had to summarize all of her talent and skill into one thing it would be this – Deena will advocate for you like nobody else. If you want a champion for your business, hire Deena.
