Dear Jonathan at Choice Realty,
I would like to thank you for your assistance in finding my company rental garage space.

I look forward to working with you again and would gladly recommend you to others in need of real estate services. Again, a sincere thank you, from myself and my staff.

Dear Choice Realty,
It has been my distinct pleasure to work with Jonathan Lee. He has been a wonderful blessing to me and our team at Esther Victory Ministries for Christ. When we began searching for a location that would be suitable for our outreach center it seemed as if we would never find it. We met Jonathan and he worked with us on a very personal level and helped us find the perfect location.
As we embark on this journey we invite you to join us at our Ribbon Cutting Ceremony and Grand Opening Celebration on October 25th from 12:00 – 2:00 at 1209 Central Avenue in Summerville. There will be lots of food, live music and great door giveaways. Please plan to attend if at all possible.
Esther Victory Ministries will provide emergency groceries to families in need, school supplies to children and help provide essential medications to senior citizens who can not afford them in the Summerville/Ladson area.

Dear Jonathan,
I want to thank you for your wonderful support and assistance in finding our new Charleston Office Space. We are all so excited about the opportunity to move into a location that meets our needs for space, visibility and a very professional environment. It was obvious from the beginning that you had our best interest in mind and were willing to work to help us find just the right office that would fit into our budget and meet our needs.
As a non-profit organization, we must constantly work to keep our costs as low as possible and you certainly helped us to accomplish this by negotiating a 43% savings off our first year occupancy cost, 15 days of free rent and a free sign! You also helped us to find the right space before the renewal of our previous lease which would have been costly for us. We really appreciate the opportunity to have new carpet and tile installed at no cost to our organization.
Jonathan, I really appreciate your support and assistance and would welcome the opportunity to recommend you to others who are looking to relocate. Thank you again for helping us to continue our mission in a professional, safe and comfortable environment.
Sincerely,
Cindy C. Alewine, CEO/President

My name is Jens Franzen. I am a chiropractor who just moved back from Ireland to the Charleston area. Even though the economy had changed here since the last time I lived here I was quite surprised how difficult it still was to find the right place for my new business.
I thought it would be quite easy to find commercial property but I soon found out I was completely off..at least when it came to Goose Creek. I knew Goose Creek was the area I wanted to open my new business in and I tried to do most of the ground work myself, demographics, looking at different locations, negotiating and much more.
Soon however, I realized that I needed help from someone who was up on the market and also could help me negotiating a good deal. I happened to get in contact with Jonathan Lee in January this year and he was very knowledgeable but foremost I appreciated his genuine concern to help me even if it meant walking an extra mile to get what I were looking for.
Jonathan helped me every step of the way and I ended up in a great location in the heart of Goose Creek. Even though it was some kinks which needed to be ironed out, Jonathan Lee handled everything with outmost precision from a business point of view and helped me to get what I was looking for. He also helped protect my interest in finalizing contracts, etc.
I would recommend anyone to use Jonathan Lee’s services since I feel he is honest, helpful and always willing to look out for his clients first.
If anyone wants to contact me further on how Jonathan Lee has helped me feel free to contact me at 843 437 5533.
Sincerely,
Jens Franzen, Back 2 Health
Dear Jonathan:
We enjoyed working with you and Choice Realty. It was amazing how efficient and professional you were in regards to our lease. Within a week, you negotiated our lease, reduced occupancy costs by 21%, and provided our company with flexibility in terms of expansion and renewal options. WOW! Not only did you save us money, but also eliminated the hassle associated with real estate transactions.
If need be, we will definitely use you in the future. In the mean time though, we are recommending you to everyone.
Thank you; we couldn’t have succeeded without you!
Sincerely,
C. Massey
To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing this letter in reference to service that I received from Choice Realty. I chose Choice Realty to handle my real estate needs in looking for an office for my growing business. Mr. Lee was very diligent in handling my transactions. He located and negotiated the lease of my new office within 45 days and reduced occupancy costs by 20 percent. Mr. Lee also provided my company with flexibility in terms of expansion, renewals, and termination options. He was very professional and courteous when dealing with all my needs in this matter. I have been very happy with the service that Mr. Lee and Choice Realty provided me while searching out a location for my new office that was convenient and affordable. Choice Realty took the hassle out of looking for a location for my new office and provided me with outstanding customer service. I would highly recommend Choice Realty in handling any real estate transaction in the future.

“Your assistance allowed us to completely renovate our office, enjoy a year of free rent, and saved us a total of $530,635, representing 41% of the lease value!” (International Accounting Firm, August 2003)
Dear Jonathan:
I want to thank you for your much needed help locating office space during my recent visit to Charleston. It is very hard to find realtors willing to help find small office space. You not only helped me locate a space within one day, you took a personal interest in negotiating a rate that was 25% less than the property owner was asking. Also, your prompt handling of the lease allowed me to focus on the many other things that I had going on.
If you ever need to use me as a reference feel free to contact me or have any of your potential clients contact me.
Best regards,
L. Padgett, Second Vice President, Liberty National Life Insurance Company

“We wanted a deal, and we got a steal! Your efforts allowed us to move into a fully decked-out space that is 3 times larger, in a building 10 times nicer, and all at a flat rate that is the same rate we were paying at our old building!” (Nations Funding, Mortgage Co., September 2003)

“We needed a location that was close to our largest customer and flexible enough to accommodate our two companies. Mr. Lee found us our best solution and negotiated the purchase of our building, creating savings over $100,000.”
Uniglobe, Courier Services and Technology Company
“It’s helpful to have a friend in commercial real estate. We had previously used Mr. Lee’s services to negotiate our office leases. After we achieved a stable growth rate, he researched the market, negotiated the purchase of our first commercial real estate investment and led us through the financing process. We now have office space to grow into and residual lease income.
