Why Choose Destino Industrial For Your Commercial Real Estate Needs?
|
"I was recently in need of industrial space in the North Orange County area when i came across Christopher Destino from Lee & Associates. I was calling around a number of places when we met. He immediately stood out as a responsive and knowledgeable agent. Very promptly he located multiple opportunities that worked well for my company and we negotiated a lease on a free standing building in Fullerton, CA.
I would recommend to anyone searching for space that you decide to work exclusively with Christopher as he has proven to me that he can get the job done right."
