Subject: Recommendation for Norm Dehart
Dear Kathy,
I am a satisfied customer (now friend) of Norm Dehart, so I am writing to recommend Guidance Corporate Realty Advisors to you.
I was the manager assigned by Kerr-McGee to consolidate HS Resources and Westport Resources into a single downtown Denver building. Lacking prior commercial real estate experience, I struggled through many, many interviews seeking an advisor that seemed to:
a) speak logically and candidly,
b) approach our upcoming financial transaction with the same discipline and logic that we were accustomed to using in our other business dealings, and
c) willing to truly advise me about the norms within an industry that I knew little about (including the gimmicks, pitfalls, snares, and other traps to avoid). I finally decided on Norm's company to advise me even though they were not a "big name" that any Kerr-McGee execs recognized.
Just as I am recommending Norm to you, Norm came recommended to me by another Oil & Gas professional.
I was very pleased with the help that I received from Norm. He was always available when I needed him, protected me from several snares, helped me get a deal that Kerr-McGee was proud of, and was my "secret weapon" against the landlords/big brokers.
I liked working with Norm so much that we became personal friends and maintain contact many years later.
I would be happy to speak to you in person if you wish to discuss Norm in more detail.
Best regards,
Ramsey Fahel
