Dennis and his team did an excellent job. They were very professional, knowledgeable, and aggressive in finding the right buyers for our property. They were in constant communication and represented us well during the negotiation process. I would highly recommend Dennis and his team for any future commercial real estate transactions.

Dear Marc, Scott and John,
|
|

I wanted to thank you for your assistance in marketing and selling the Properties we have trusted you with in the Denver area over the last couple of years. You have undoubtedly had some of the most challenging assets that I have been tasked with managing during my tenure as an REO Asset Officer at Aurora Bank FSB (f/k/a Lehman Brothers Banks, FSB).
My team and I have been impressed with your knowledge of the market place combined with your ability to continually procure and submit multiple offers as well as leverage off your relationships within the brokerage community sometimes closing properties at a price substantially higher than initial expectations.
Your product and market knowledge coupled with the manner you and your team adeptly managed the prospective buyers, was extremely helpful. Your persistent and tenactious effort, in spite of the rather trying circumstances, was most appreciated. The final offer on our last property was clearly at or above market and I am most pleased with the result.
This asset class is best suited for an end user. I appreciate your team's ability to find multiple owner/user's. I would not hesitate to recommend you and Unique Properties for the disposition of future REO assets. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to discuss further.
Best regards, |
|

This letter is to let you know how much we appreciate all your hard work in marketing our commercial properties this year.
Your continued efforts to market 7 Inverness Drive in Englewood, Colorado resulted in a succesful sale of the property. And we are very excited about receiving an offer on the Overlook property located at 1480 W. Canal Court in Littleton, Colorado.
We look forward to working with you on the marketing side of any other future sales of our commercial properties. Thank you.

Dear Bill,

I would like to express my heart felt gratitude for the hard work you put in to the Del Mar Automotive sale. I firmly believe that this deal would not have had a positive outcome without your drive and dedication.
I enjoyed watching you communicate with the buyers and their representative, it was a lesson in strategic diplomacy that I will always remember. Your focus on the goal served me well when we encountered both physical challenges with the property and bureaucratic indifference with several of the interested parties.
Your vast experience and technical competence can not be questioned, but it was your tenacious character that provided the momentum we needed to bring this deal to the closing table.
I will recommed you highly to anyone who is in need of professional help with real estate matters.
Sincerely, |
|

We engaged with Greg Knott of Unique Properties in 2009 to find a new corporate head quarters for our company, High Noon Productions, LLC. We have about 225 employees who live in different parts of the metro area, so finding the perfect space in an acceptable location (geographically) was one of the main goals.
He brought a lot of value to the process by first taking the time to really understand us as a client and then helping us consider all of the factors in determining our specific needs.
He worked well with our schedules and always made sure we had all of the brochures, maps, and information of our building tours prior to going to see them.
During the final consideration of properties Greg took a lot of information and put it into easy and concise formats that allowed us to easily make decisions.
He was extremely thoughtful and made the negotiation process positive for all parties involved.
He stayed in communication up to and still continues to even after the lease was signed.
We are very pleased with our new 30,625sf office, and we are very happy with our favorable lease structure for the next 7 years.
Greg is a true professional that began as our broker and is now a friend to this company.
He knows the market, he knows his business, and he cares about his clients.
If you are considering a move and need a break, you absolutely should talk with Greg Knott.
Thank you, |

Re: Albion Arms, 1650 S Albion Stret, Denver, CO 80222
I wanted to take a quick moment to write you and thank you for your services in the recent purchase of my first apartment building.
As you know this was a very big step for me and my family and you understood exactly what we wanted and never pressured us to do anything we weren't ready for.
From our first meeting you helped in educating us on everything from management, to financing to underwriting. Without your help we would have been lost in the process.
I feel like you really cared about our success and not just about getting the deal done. I hope this is the first of many to come with your wonderful and experienced team.
Thanks again for making this first timer feel comfortable.
Sincerely, |

Max and I want to thank you both for the wonderful work you performed on our behalf.
You very quickly understood our concept and its real estate requirements.
In less than a month, your resourcefullness, guidance and professional communication throughout the entire process.
We've just signed our lease and we've both agreed that if not for your sense of urgency, we would probably still be looking.
Needless to say, when it comes time to open our second store, you'll be the first call we make.
Thanks again for a job well done and best of luck to you both as you build what will no doubt be a very successful group at Unique Properties.
Best regards, |

I engaged George Hanlon and Dennis McLin of Unique Properties in Denver to sell my small office condominium in Broomfield, where I had conducted my private practice in Psychology for 10 years. Both men were completely professional, understood the market, and had several showings of my property before receiving an offer which matched my asking price.
Most of all I liked the way these realtors were responsive. They always returned my calls promptly and kept me in touch with every selling development, and they always did what they said they were going to do. While these traits should be standard when working with professionals, unfortunately they are not. I would recommend these gentlemen to anyone with a commercial property to sell.
Sincerely yours, |

Dear Adam & Ryan,

It's not too often that I write a referral letter for someone that provided a service for me. In this case, however, I find myself almost obligated to expand upon the first-rate service that was provided to me by your team.
My father built this property in 1959, he told me when I was 8 years old that someday I would own and manage the property. What a joy at the time, but what a burden it became as I became increasingly handicapped by my degenerating hearing problem. This made owning impossible! I had to see, and I had a lot of choices regarding brokers.
Every broker that I spoke with told me what I wanted to hear, except you guys! You told me the truth. You sold my property for exactly the same price that you said it was worth, and the process ended up being painless. You were there for me every step of the way and even on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve when I had questions, you called me right back.
Thanks again for all of your help!
Sincerely, |

What an excellent job you did for my wife and I!!! We were knocking on the doorstep of a foreclosure and you guys bailed us out by finding the right buyer, at the right time, and he closed fast! It was a nail-biter until the end and you guys did everything in your power to make sure that this deal got to the closing table, your persistence prevailed!
We have been real estate professionals for decades, selling residential houses, and it has been a total pleasure seeing your professionalism throughout the process. Thanks again for your help. |

I wanted to thank you for your hard work in closing this last portfolio sale.
The last time I dealt with Marc and Scott it was on the other side of the closing table where I purchased one of your listings. Now that I have had the opportunity to be represented by your team and work with you throughout the process, I can see why so many people use you as their exclusive broker. The three of you were all very accommodating; always getting back to me promptly, answering all my questions and handling every possible concern. You showed up to every meeting I had whether it was with the maintenance company, an inspector or even a possible property manager because you knew it made me feel more comfortable having you there. You were there to ask questions that I would not have thought of and you were there to remind me of things I needed to make sure I had covered.
Through the many challenges (more so than most) we faced in getting this one closed, you demonstrated to me that you are without a doubt some of Denver's finest! I look forward to having you on my side on the next deal. The three of you are in every sense of the word professionals.
Thank you again.

Dear Scott and Marc:

I am excited to own the Clarkson Apartments and want to thank you for your efforts to make that happen. As we all know, it is a very difficult environment to get real estate deals done. In addition, having the sellers in different cities, with different motivations just added to the challenge for getting this deal closed.
Your team at Unique was excellent in everything; attention to detail, responsiveness, and professionalism. In addition, there were many areas where you went above and beyond; you were able to keep the sellers on board while everything took longer than originally anticipated, knew the President of the Bank that eventually made the loan, introduced me to the property management firm that I retained to manage the property, etc. All this has convinced me that you know everyone in town and will do what it takes to get a deal done.
I am sure that this deal would not have gotten done had any other firm been the broker involved. Thanks again and I look forward to many more successful transactions together.
Sincerely, |

I am writing to convey my sincere appreciation for your assistance in the leasing of 255 Clayton.
Not only is our building fully occupied, it is with sound tenants that are well suited to the original objectives for this atypical mixed use project. Considering the vacancy factors and responsive lease rates found in today's economy, 255 Clayton is doing extremely well. All to a large part a function of your efforts.
Along with the satisfaction of being 'full' has been the enjoyment of working with and getting to know you. There was nothing conventional about your task on this project. The landlord was discerning and particular and the times were difficult. Even with these added requirements, you never wavered in positive attitude and willingness.
Of great value to me is our continued relationship. The ability to confer with you about future projects and to solicit your ideas, information and input all of which is thoughtfully and timely provided is assurance of the opportunities lying ahead.
Best Regards, |

It is my very greatest pleasure to recommend Marc Lippitt and Unique Properties, LLC to anyone that is in need of a sincere, well organized and persevering company that cares about your deal and treats it like it is the only one in the company. But, that is how we feel about Marc Lippitt and Unique Properties, LLC.
Our building had been listed over eight months by another broker and it had not been sold. We did no get even one offer and had very few people looking at it. We hired Unique Properties right before Christmas 2008 and even though it was a holiday season, they became active immediately and I mean immediately with pictures, brochures, website posting and press releases. They were repsonsive and professional, brought viable clients to the building and made the process seamless for us.
We were aware of some of the difficult deals that had been completed by this company in the past and this one was certainly one of those with the additional barricade of a very difficult environment. They negotiated the deal and were able to come up with mutually agreeable terms. The deal and the closing were riddled with issues and complications and we were assisted in every way by Marc Lippitt and Unique Properties staff.
I specifically remember feeling calm during times in which I normally would not have that feeling and that is because my calls were always returned in a timely manner, time was always taken with each and every issue and this continued after hours, during weekends and even when Marc Lippitt was on vacation out of the country.
The Unique Properties office staff is exceptional and extraorinary in every way as well. This staff never failed to help and assist at every opportunity. They did it pleasantly, expeditiously and professionally. I was very impressed by the competence of each and every member of the Unique Properties staff. I was never disappointed.
Marc Lippitt and Unique Properties were fully engaged at all times. As I have said, this was a very difficult deal and there are just not enough words to express how grateful we are to Marc and Unique Properties. We sincerely cannot thank you enough. Thank you.
Sincerely, |

Hi Jason,

We wanted to thank you for your excellence as our Real Estate Broker in purchasing the Denver triplex. Always being available after hours and making sure the deal went smooth from start to finish and even helping us close one issue two weeks after closing.
This is the smoothest we have had a real estate transaction go in the last nine we have either purchased or sold. We appreciate your expertise, professionalism and dedication and we plan to have you work with us in the spring on a 1031 exchange.
Looking forward to working with you again. |

Wow, just looking at the list of folks who've helped get this deal done is truly inspiring. At team effort if I've ever seen one. Thank you to each person that helped to get this deal done. Certainly not a big deal by the standards of many in the commercial real estate world, but a big one for our investment group; and a very complex one that just wouldn't have happened without the good faith efforts and due diligence of all involved.
On behalf of myself and the 100 West investors, thank you very much for your efforts, and I'd hope we can continue business relationships wherever possible as we move forward.
PS. Very special thanks to Unique Properties for the great assistance and willingness to get us in the hands of the right sort of affiliated advisors, etc on this deal.
Sincerely yours, |

Dear Unique Properties,

In the latter part of 2008 I commissioned Toby and Gannon Roth to find a lessee for a vacant building located along Washington Street in Thornton. The job was a challenge due to the inside condition of the space, but soon a tenant agreed to lease two thirds of the building. The Roths did an excellent job working with both sides to satisfy specific needs and get all the appropriate papers in order.
I was pleased with this accomplishment. I was also concerned about the economy and did not hold much hope in finding a renter for the smaller portion of the building. That negativity was not shared by Toby and Gannon. They assured me that they intended to work even harder to find the right tenant.
Gannon was contacted by an interested party and he moved forward with every effort. Within forty eight hours he made all the necessary contacts, drew up the paper work and we had a completed lease and checks in hand. It was an impressive feat.
Gannon Roth and his father Toby, were patient and knowledgeable in answering my questions and concerns, always professional. They certainly were the RIGHT PEOPLE for this job and I wanted Unique Properties to know how pleased I am with their results.
Yours truly, |

I wanted to drop a brief note of 'thanks' for all of your hard work and the job you did on our property at 2149 South Holly Street. You will always stick out in my mind as the best "make it happen" person that I have ever dealt with on a property transaction.
If I can ever serve as a reference for prospective clients, please do not hesitate to ask. There is no doubt - you and your team are a class act and set the bar when it comes to real estate in Colorado.

I wanted to sincerely thank you for your excellent job in leasing my property at 1521 Marion. I was thoroughly impressed with your professionalism, tenacity, and thorough knowledge of the commercial real estate market. Even as financial and real estate markets began their downward slide, you were able to successfully lease my two available suites in a matter of three weeks. Indeed, this was a major accomplishment in these turbulent times! Best of luck to all of you in the future.

Thanks for insuring the sale of Buckingham Manor Apartments on Monday. I want you to know how satisfied I am with you and your staff.
The property I brought to you was no easy sell. Its disrepair had the attention of city officials and we were experiencing turmoil with our management. Vacancy was skyrocketing. It was not a pretty picture.
Nevertheless, you worked hard at obtaining this listing from me. Though we had done business together before, you did not take obtaining this listing for granted. Because of your earnestness, I believed then as I do now that you would work hard on my behalf.
I also chose you because we had worked together two years before on five other transactions. As you recall at that time I was on the opposite side of the table as a buyer. No deals are easy and those were certainly no exception requiring a great deal more time obtaining financing and lots of hand-holding on your part with the sellers and me. You made sure those deals got done.
I also appreciated the responsiveness of you and your staff. You never disappointed in getting back to me; often after hours (or before!) and even when you were on vacation. I always felt you were fully engaged. Your phone was always answered by a friendly Bri or Lindsey. And Emily Lemere did and excellent job at promptly and competently conveying to me all the required paperwork.
Most importantly, you brought the right buyers to the table. They were highly qualified. They were financially strong and remarkably fair and honest. I have done enought transactions to appreciate how fortunate we were to be working with such quality people. In that regard, it was one of my more gratifying transactions.
And this sale happend during an exceedingly uncertain and daunting time in our economy. The fact that the buyer's lender of choice was seized by the FDIC and we still closed a few weeks later seems like a miracle!
Once more, thanks for making this sale happen. You yet again have earned my strong endorsement.
Best Regards, |
|

I am writing to you in regards to Allen Freedberg - he handled the sale of my convenience store - Pump & Gas.
Allen worked on this sale for a year and I cannot say enough good about him - he was kind, patient, generous, and selfless. He made a difficult time for me seem easier. I wish all agents could be as thoughtful as Allen is. I can't thank him enough for his professionalism and kindness to me and my sons.
They join me in saying, thank you Allen for everything! You are so fortunate to have Allen working for your company.
