Chris and team were real pros and handled their end perfectly. Especially the initial phase of underwriting the Argus model and putting the OM together. That is a talent that I do not possess. The attention to detail and professionalism was and is flawless! As a consultant, I work with brokerage firms across the country. None of them has anything over Dickson Commercial Group!! I look forward to working with all 3 of you in the future, hopefully, sooner rather than later!
