Ryan Boyne and Karen Barry are a powerhouse duo! They left no stone unturned in their quest to find the perfect location for our business on a very short timeline. Finding 5000 sq. ft. with parking in an inner city neighbourhood is nearly impossible but Karen and Ryan made it happen! Their hard work, drive, and determination combined with extensive industry knowledge and wisdom make them the best in the city. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again!

The deal was complicated as it included a sublease, a sub-sublease and a head lease. The team worked diligently at addressing every issue that arose during the initial space search, offer negotiations, consent agreements, fixturing period and final move-in. We would not hesitate to recommend the service to any business seeking professional, detail-oriented business services.
