Over the past several years, I have worked with Jeff Shepard and Hughes Marino on more than five office projects across Southern California, Colorado, Texas, Tennessee, and North Carolina. Every market is different, yet Jeff and his team consistently delivered the same high level of service, expertise, and personal attention. Jeff took the time to understand our business, our growth strategy, our budget, and what was important to our team. He never treated us like another transaction. He became a trusted advisor and a true advocate for our interests. His knowledge of each local market, combined with Hughes Marino's tenant only representation model, gave us confidence that every recommendation was made with our goals in mind, not a landlord's. What sets Hughes Marino apart is their integrated approach and the quality of their people. The entire team is responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about achieving the best outcome for their clients. They combine national expertise with a personal touch that is difficult to find. I highly recommend Jeff Shepard and Hughes Marino to any company looking for a commercial real estate partner who will represent your interests with integrity, professionalism, and exceptional service.

We have worked with Jeffrey Shepard at Hughes Marino for going on 15 years. He has always made the leasing process easy for us to go through, while at the same time fighting for the best deal possible for us. He thinks of angles that never would have crossed out minds and you can feel his level of commitment and devotion to helping you. As the CEO of our company I don't always have as much time as I would like to devote to projects, but I feel secure in knowing that Jeff has my back in handling all the details of leasing a building.
