TESTIMONIALS

Casey Krauser

Partner at Belleair Capital Group, LLC

“It is rare to meet someone with such a passion for their work as Jeff. Jeff and I worked together at Boos Development Group acquiring sites for single tenant net leased development projects. Never have I met another individual with such dedication to learning every detail of their deals as Jeff. I was constantly impressed by his infectious enthusiasm for his work. Jeff has earned my highest recommendation as an up and coming leader in the industry.”

Bobby Dickey

“Jeff is a rising star with an unlimited ceiling. I have the pleasure of working with Jeff in several of the more challenging NE markets for Family Dollar ground-up development. I am impressed by Jeff’s attention to details while being able to exceed our already high volume of deals expected. Jeff has been a key contributor to our store growth, and he has earned my highest recommendation.”

Dean Koutroumanis

Gerald Martin

Managing Partner at Sterling Street Partners

“As the former Division Vice President of Real Estate for Family Dollar, I met Jeff at the infancy of his career at an ICSC dinner in Las Vegas. His enthusiasm and intelligence were readily apparent. Shortly, thereafter, Jeff joined Boos Development, one of Family Dollar’s premier preferred developers, as an analyst. He quickly impressed Boos management and was promoted to Real Estate Manager…”

Daniel Martinez

“I’ve shared several clients with Jeff that have all loved their experiences. He knows the real estate market, follows up and does what he says he is going to do. He provides a high level of service that often times is missing in the real estate industry.”

John Trujillo

Former VP Corporate Real Estate GTE Financial

“I noticed that Jeff was quite astute with market data. He was working some properties in an area where we owned a retail asset and I was very impressed with his background, knowledge and follow up. I found him to be a very nice professional who is definitely on the way up.”

Seth Swisher

VP of Retail Development Ryan Companies

“As part of team and working on retail development deals, Jeff showed tremendous dedication and persistent in following through on projects and seeing them to the end. He really embraced the client first approach and attitude, which is exactly what we need.”

Henry Hooker III

Owner of Shopping Center

“Jeff Dervech went above and beyond to meet my expectations as a shopping center owner. He designed a custom marketing approach and was relentless in his execution in this tough assignment to deliver premium pricing in a confidential matter. Days after we initiated our engagement, Jeff obtained multiple offers on the property with all very strong candidates through his buyer pool and select marketing efforts. I would highly recommend Jeff Dervech as an advisor to other shopping center owners in a disposition or acquisition of an asset.”
