"I was extremely impressed with how promptly and thoroughly Clayton and his team were able to present a detailed list of the locations that met our criteria. Then, once we narrowed down the list, team Hovivian did a terrific job negotiating the best deal for Regency. His experience and relationships were invaluable in working out an overall package that was extremely attractive. Clayton, was the driving force in pushing the lease transaction. Clayton's group overall level of service and involvement was exceptional. This is the reason we have used Clayton for all of our leases over the last 10 years as we have grown the company."

"Clayton and his team represented our firm on two requirements simultaneously, one was an early renewal/renegotiation and the other was a consolidation of offices. Although each assignment presented different challenges, Clayton clearly demonstrated why he is recognized as one of the top tenant brokers in the industry. Clayton is proficient in each phase of the process; he communicated his progress in a clear and concise manner, and he maintained our best interests at all times. Clayton is truly a “deal maker” as I witnessed first hand his ability to leverage his relationships to get the results he wants. I highly recommend Clayton to anyone needing real estate advice with an ultimate drive for excellence."
