Karen Cole and Patrick Simpson made a perfect team, working together seamlessly. They did what they said they would do, always kept me up to date, always responded in a timely manner and kept expenses tightly controlled with no surprises. Answers to my many (and often confused) questions were always clear and very constructive, helping me move forward at each step. There was a large degree of intuition involved on their part, really understanding what was going through my mind. Great representatives for RIAA Barker Gillette, I couldn’t have asked for more.”

I would like to express my appreciation and gratitude for the wonderful work done by Gina Brodkin. She was always informative, competent, professional and very patient. The lease extension process was very lengthy but Gina dealt with the various aspects of it in a friendly and accessible manner. I have no hesitation in recommending both RIAA Barker Gillette and Gina.
