“Working with Real Strategy Advisors was great because commercial real estate is not our area of expertise and it was nice to have your team present us with space options so that we could really think outside of the box. Also, because you’re involved from the beginning and throughout the process, during the design stages and everything, it felt as though the team was always there.

I’d like to just say thank you to the entire team at Real Strategy. They’ve been very helpful along the way, staying in touch, and really keeping us informed. The communication has been great. So a big thank you to everybody!”

Chief Operating Officer, Sicotte Guilbault

“Real Strategy was able to create value for us through their in-depth market knowledge and ability to deliver on our unique location requirements. They were also able to negotiate additional tenant inducements and allocations that helped with necessary fit-ups for the laboratory and specialized equipment installations.

Englobe would definitely recommend Real Strategy for workplace projects and lease negotiations in the Ottawa and National Capital Region. Their knowledge of the market, relationships with landlords, ability to understand client needs, and create value for tenants is unparalleled!”

Vincent Martel
Real Estate Project Manager, Englobe

“Real Strategy created value initially by providing locations that fit our needs, while also discussing and negotiating our lease. I liked the way they were diligent in staying in touch, achieving a high level of trust with a genuine relationship. They provided additional value by making suggestions that saved time, and money.”

“Real Strategy did more than just find and show me potential new office spaces. An important part of the endeavour was actually deciphering the needs and wants of Tree Canada employees. The Real Strategy team developed and distributed a questionnaire that was able to truly tap into the culture of Tree Canada and engage everyone in the process.”

Danielle St-Aubin
Chief Executive Officer, Tree Canada

“The team was very apt at getting to know us right away, ensured all the initial communications were face-to-face, took the time to listen to our needs, helped us understand what we didn’t know about the real estate market, allowed us to develop a relationship based on mutual respect and made us feel comfortable right from the start.”

President & CEO, AFMC

“We had the pleasure of working with Darren as he helped us find the perfect spot for our office and our employees. He was deeply familiar with the market and the stories behind each opportunity. But perhaps most importantly, he was able to weave in an understanding of our culture and the future of our business, into everything he did. Genuine and driven.”

Allan Wille
CEO, Klipfolio

“You took the time to appreciate our organizational imperative to create a unique open space that could be a strong expression of our intentional culture. Your advice and insight were instrumental in securing favourable lease terms, in particular with respect to a substantial cash allowance, the allocation ratio for employee parking spaces, and material costs to be covered under the base building under Landlord’s Work.”

J. Paul Havey, CPA, CA
Vice President Corporate Services, CIRA

“Darren is very knowledgeable about the market and will provide you with a selection of options that will allow you to assess your actual needs and get you to a decision point that you are very comfortable with.”
