Delon Cheung did a fabulous job of helping us to sell our business. He was always quick to return calls and keep us up to date with what was happening regarding the sale. He was very professional, easy to talk to and patient with our myriad of questions. We were impressed at our first meeting at NAI with both Alf Sanderson & Delon. We would certainly recommended NAI if you are wishing to sell your business.

Irene is professional, reliable, efficient, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Her greatest asset is her dedication to delivering the best results that are in the best interest of her client – she has the mentality of an owner, which allows me to fully trust and rely on her advice.

Jonathan Choo
President, Laurason Investments Ltd.
It is always a second guess as to which commercial agent to use when you do not know anyone off hand. Fortunately, someone recommended me to NAI Commercial and I got connected to Delon. From the start Delon was open and transparent as to how his company operates. Most important is that he made me feel comfortable how he was going to help me sell my pet store business. He was thorough and followed the transaction process to the end. I have no hesitation recommending NAI Commercial to someone else.

We had the great pleasure of working with Taylor and the NAI Team while looking for a new office space. Taylor was diligent and attentive to our needs as we searched for the perfect office. He presented an array of options within our desired area, price range and aesthetic. He was a tremendous support as we locked in the lease, and made the process very smooth. We would highly recommend Taylor and NAI!

I met Keaton Manjos at a business networking event in 2018 and we have been working together ever since. He's been very resourceful in sharing some good information in the commercial retail world and has helped point me in the right direction in terms of some leasing opportunities I have been working on for a client of mine. It's good to find an approachable commercial guy in this industry who is young and energetic and wants to add value to the equation, especially in an industry that is overrepresented by older and cagy professionals who guard the commercial data very closely.

I continue to be impressed with their team approach to business and their dedication to delivering results that are always in their client’s best interest – they think like an owner. This mindset, along with their in-depth knowledge of the leasing market, is a rare combination to find in any service provider. They have never failed to exceed my expectations, despite our fairly aggressive objectives.
