for Harold Shumacher:


Thanks Harold. I must admit I have met too many local brokers and you truly impressed me. You know your market and I look forward to working with you.

Harold, I want you to know how much I appreciate the fine job you did in helping us secure our new home for Agatha’s. Your clever and hospitable manner pleased me at once and when I felt overwhelmed you put a positive spin on things to keep the deal moving along. George Washington Carver once wrote of the eight cardinal virtues which constitues a gentleman. I don’t remember them all but a few come to mid: who loses, if need be, without squealing; who wins, without bragging and who takes his share of the world and lets other people have theirs. Your kindness will not be forgotten. Good job.

Harold Shumacher is one of the most diligent brokers I work with anywhere in the country. He’s great at follow up and keeping us (the client) informed about the status of any deal he’s working on.

Harold, you have great guy working on your team at Shumacher. It has been a pleasure working with Steve on this project. He is extremely professional and it is obvious he embraces very high moral standards, which is quite rare in this industry I have found. He has worked so diligently for his client and really reflects your company in a great light. Warm regards,

We gave the Shumacher Group a listing on seven surplus properties in the metro Atlanta area and they leased each one sooner than we anticipated. They exceeded our expectations in terms of professionalism, follow up and market knowledge. Plus they’re a pleasure to work with.

Dear Steve,
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your excellent help, guidance and courtesy during the period of negotiation in the sale of a business of one of our tenants. As the landlord, I appreciated greatly your way of doing things, politeness and stick-to-it-ness.
Once again, I thank you,

Dear Steve,
I would like to thank you for the excellent job you did while listing and selling our restaurant, The Cheyenne Grille. After convincing me to list the restaurant with your company, I was truly surprised to have three offers presented to me within the first week. You were always professional and timely in all dealings with myself and the prospective purchasers. Furthermore, you were able to assist the purchasers in negotiationg a new lease with the landlord. Please feel free to use me as a reference for any potential Shumacher customers, as I was truly impressed by your abillity to simultaneously negotiate a purchase contract and a new lease. Thank you, once again for your great efforts.
Sincerely,

Steve Josovitz and The Shumacher Group leased my in-town restaurant space in less than sixty days in the most challenging market ever seen. Not only that, but they presented a number of serious, qualified prospects from which to choose. The exposure I received was top notch.

Steve, A very belated thank you for your efforts and most importantly your results in securing the WaterHaven site. You have a tenacity toward getting the deal done and relentless approach that is rare to find. It not only made this deal happen but happen in a way that should insure success. Even with the multiple parties involved you managed to bring the resources to bear to keep the process moving to a very satisfactory conclusion.
Your insights into the market as well as he industry helped frame the negotiating points and kept everyone at the table until the lease was signed. I hope we get the chance to work together again in the future. Thanks again,
Joe McCarthy
WaterHaven Restaurant

Steve Josovitz makes things happen!!! He’s aggressive, professional and is a dealmaker not a dealbreaker. In Atlanta his name is on more deals than any other broker I know. Highly recommended.
