I have worked with several commercial brokers in the past and what separates Cecil from others is his dogged ability to advocate for his clients while simultaneously having gainful insight into Landlord's perspective which naturally leads to effective negotiations. This combination along with his attention to detail, understanding of retail businesses, along with transparency and honesty makes him rare in this industry and eases the stress in what is inherently a stressful process. I would highly recommend him to my closest friends and family and hope to work with him again in the future.

Cecil and his team were amazing. Everything from identifying a suitable property to advise along the way to settlement. He has resources to help through the process and he doesn't just walk away once the transaction is done. He is there as a resource in our court and he seems genuinely invested in bringing us to success. I would highly recommend him for any commercial transaction.

Cecil, it has been a pleasure working with you for the last four years. From the first day we started working together until now, your excellent service and care has remained the same. Your ability to know our needs before we know them is truly amazing. You seem to always find the right fit for your clients. It can be overwhelming finding office space, but you make the process seamless! I truly appreciate you!

When we first started this journey to sell our beloved liquor store that we have owned for over 42 years, we knew we needed the best in the industry. Alan Hyatt lead me straight to Hyatt Commercial and met Cecil. He took us under his wings as this was our first rodeo in the commercial market. He led me and informed me all along the way. The end result was to find the perfect buyer, which he did. His professionalism and good character would make me recommended him again. Thank you Cecil for getting us to the end zone and completing the sale.

“While lending in this economic climate (Summer 2023) was a learning experience for us at the bank, Cecil was a big reason we were able to get the loan pushed through; he is incredibly adept, attentive to every detail, and was a tremendous asset to the success of the transaction.”

"Cecil comes across in a way that allows you to put your guard down and really trust him. In doing so this allowed us to focus on what we needed to, whether it be reviewing contracts, discussing the financials, walking the property, and inspections, and NOT focusing on trying to figure out what might be hidden. Cecil is EXTREMELY knowledgeable and was willing to answer all questions at any given time. As business owners, our hours are not 9-5 and Cecil provided his expertise and EXCEPTIONAL customer service throughout the purchasing process at any time of day and any day of the week. He walked us through many steps in this process and we feel confident that all “I’s were dotted and T’s were crossed”. Even after we closed on this property, Cecil has made himself readily available for whatever we have needed; extreme heartfelt appreciation for everything Cecil has helped us accomplish in our real estate portfolio thus far. We look forward to continuing a partnership with Cecil for many years to come!"

“Cecil was the driving force in getting the transaction successfully across the finish line. It is rare to have a Broker be as involved as he was. Cecil was very responsive, and his communication and guidance was imperative to the process being smooth and efficient through to the end. I look forward to the next time we get to work together!”
