TESTIMONIALS
Timely Support
“Paradigm takes initiative – They recommended changes to reporting requirements that minimized duplication while still providing quality information.”
-AEW Capital Management, Property Management client
Client-focused Philosophy
“Our lease is up in 7 weeks and I need to make a decision soon. Things certainly are different here now — very corporate. No personalization at all. I think the tenants here certainly miss Paradigm…Keep in touch.”
— Peter T. Carellas, President, Xcitex Incorporated, former building client
Attention to Detail
“Once again, I just want to say thank you. Whenever I go to put the quarter-end numbers together yours work without a hitch. No long explanations required to show people where they went wrong, no corrections, nothing. It’s a pleasure.”
-Current Capital Partner, Assurant Asset Management
Clear Communication
“Our experience during that time has been extremely satisfactory. They are always very responsive to our needs regardless of the size or urgency of the problem. All of the members of the Paradigm team, from bottom to top, are extremely professional, considerate and a pleasure to work with.”
-Tenant-Client, Schwartz & Benjamin, Inc.
Outstanding Care
“I have been with Design Knowhow, LLC for eight years. During my time here, I have communicated with Virginia Rey on several occasions in regards to issues we have had with the building inside and out. She always demonstrates outstanding communications skills and a high level of competency. She listens carefully, asks perceptive questions and quickly comprehends new or highly complex matters”
