CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

“Josh and Ian are the best investment sales brokers in the DC area. I’ve worked with them and their team on several transactions - acquisitions of land and commercial property and the disposition of commercial property - and they've been fantastic. They’re smart, extremely knowledgeable, great negotiators, and expert problem solvers. They know their markets better than anyone, and ultimately that’s why we have done so much business together.”

“Ian Ruel and Feldman Ruel Urban Property Advisors were a pleasure to do business with for my recent sale in Union Market. When we first met several years ago, Ian shared updated market sales comps and clearly showed he knew Union Market better than anyone. When the time came for a sale, he brought me an all-cash, non-contingent offer coupled with a strong deposit. Ian professionally navigated the sales process, and as a real estate agent myself, I was very impressed.”

“Feldman Ruel was a pleasure to work with on our last two commercial acquisitions. Our most recent transaction required nimbleness given the current environment, which Ian Ruel made sure to attend. He went above and beyond to represent and negotiate our interest throughout the process, and remained attentive post-settlement to ensure that everything went well. I believe that Feldman Ruel is a world class commercial brokerage, with intimate knowledge of the local market. Looking forward to our next one!”

“I had the pleasure of working with Josh Feldman, Ian Ruel and their team on a successful transaction in recent months. The team listed and sold our mid-sized already entitled project that was development ready. They guided us through the process starting with a detailed project analysis, suggested list price and an aggressive marketing campaign which ultimately led to a full price offer which closed very quickly and smoothly. Josh, Ian and their team were professional, responsive and most of all effective. We'll be sure to bring our next commercial transaction back to them.”

They provided significant value and ultimately delivered success where other brokers had failed. Your team is hands down the gold standard in the industry.”

“The bank is extremely pleased with the entire process as it relates to the sale of 5140 Nannie Helen Burroughs Ave NE. Josh Feldman, Ian Ruel and their team deserve much of the credit for helping us get this sold. Their professionalism and dedication were on display when they ran down every lead, met with every potential buyer (even when we doubted their qualifications) and investigated every option to maximize our final contract price. They were levelheaded and pragmatic when complications arose and remained focused on getting the job done. Thanks for everything!”

“I have been working with Josh Feldman, Ian Ruel and their team on several deals so far, buying and selling, and I just can't recommend them enough. They get things done and never disappointed me, simply by working very hard and staying honest throughout the process, they have been able to reach my very ambitious goals time after time. The team has earned their place as my go to broker when I need to sell a property.”

“It is my pleasure to comment on my recent experience regarding the sale of an office property in Northern Virginia with Tanner Scales and Feldman Ruel Urban Property Advisors. My expectations were low due to comparable properties being on market for eighteen plus months without selling. Tanner and the team brought multiple qualified offers quickly. Settlement went off without a hitch and we sold for considerably more than other comparables. Tanner and his group exceeded expectations and I would highly recommend them for future transactions.”
