DUSAN VUKSANOVIC, CEO — SWISSCOM

“Gabe Regalado has helped me with securing two commercial leases over the past seven years. Having been a commercial lessee for the past twenty years I remember the times working solo and with other agents. It was confusing, frustrating, and intimidating. Working with Gabe I know my best interests are always being represented by an experienced professional with a caring heart. I have referred him to a number of my colleagues over the last few years and everyone of them has had a similar appreciation for working with Gabe. In business it is essential to have a team of professionals you can trust. Gabe is 100% on my team. Thank you, Gabe!”

“I was fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to partner with Gabe in managing our real estate portfolio. Gabe is a rockstar who goes above and beyond for his clients. He provides expert advice and suggestions helping steer you in the right direction. In one instance where we needed to right size our HQ, he was able to find us a subtenant in absolutely record time and negotiate a deal to save us ~600k in annual expenditure. Really appreciate his efforts and expertise. Highly recommend his services.”

Gabe’s deep connections within the community and broader real estate network helped us achieve our business goals. His communication was always clear, proactive, and professional.

CHARLES LEUNG, PORTFOLIO ASSET MANAGER/LANDLORD — JKL CORPORATION

“Gabe helped us purchase an office building back in 2020, when we wanted to put it back on the market for sale in 2024, we immediately thought about Gabe and had him represent us again. My experience with Gabe is that he is very professional and transparent, always telling us his honest opinion about how much we could sell the building for, what things we need to address in order to get the best prices. Throughout the 8-month period of closing the transaction, he demonstrated excellent communication skills, did due diligence, represented both the buyer and seller fairly. I would personally recommend Gabe to anyone who is lucky enough to have him on the team in any real estate transactions.”
