"F&A Painting and Construction, Inc. has held a Pierce Eislen subscription in Las Vegas since 2004. It has proven to be a crucial asset to our firm. As a company that primarily services the multi-family housing industry, the Ownership, management and acquisition terms of the communities may change rapidly and often. The Pierce Eislen data is current and precise. We have often met with clients and are able to provide specific property information they are not aware of. This product has kept us in touch with market conditions and provides a decisive edge over our competition.
We are pleased to offer this letter of recommendation and we consider Pierce Eislen an exceptional product and an absolute necessity in our continued growth and success.
Please feel free to call me at 702-274-8402 should you have any questions. Thank you!"

"Doug Schuster and I have been using Pierce-Eislen for about 4 or 5 years now, not sure the exact date but we signed up when you rolled it out in Vegas. Anyway I just want to say that your company continues to do an excellent job. I am especially impressed with the people that work for you. As brokers we can be pretty demanding and sometimes downright unreasonable. Candice Spencer helps make everything a little easier for us. She has been extremely helpful with any and all requests that I've thrown at her and I want to make sure you recognize what a great job she does!"

"We have used Pierce-Eislen databases and research for many years and have found the information to be dependable and accurate.
Much of our time is spent in economic trending of various markets around the country, in which we are considering sizable investments in multi-family properties. Our personnel have found Pierce-Eislen to be a valuable tool in determining the economic momentum of specific sub-markets within a metropolitan area, in addition to the typical "property specific" information that is provided for analysis.
We appreciate your attention to detail and look forward to your expansion into additional markets. I would be happy to recommend your services to other companies and am available for comment."

"I am a current Pierce-Eislen Tampa and Orlando market subscriber, and am very pleased with the results. It offers me a simple and quick way to review information on both a property and its submarket, saving me time in a task that used to take much more time and effort to accomplish. I am looking forward to using it more as the service matures, and I become better acquainted with its many tools. I couldn't be more happy that they finally came to Florida."

"We use Pierce-Eislen research data for underwriting the key metrics of apartment development, acquisitions and property management opportunities. Their information allows us the necessary tools to research specific submarkets and helps us identify trends in the overall market."

"I have been meaning to drop you a line to let you know how helpful your product has been in aiding us to build our portfolio over the years. I recall when you first called on BRE; I was a bit of a skeptic since I had seen the same service before in numerous iterations. However, after seeing a demonstration of your product I knew you had something different and agreed to an Orange County subscription – two months later I had closed on my first transaction with the aid of your database.
BRE now uses the Pierce-Eislen services in six primary markets and we will be adding another market in 2008. Your database has been instrumental over the years in identifying opportunities within specific submarkets, sourcing new acquisitions, identifying owners and understanding rent trends in various markets and submarkets. Pierce-Eislen has simplified the process of identifying assets that fit specific acquisition criteria, and it provides up-to-date and accurate market data to support our acquisition process.
I would recommend a subscription to your services to anyone who owns multifamily assets or desires to build a portfolio of multifamily assets."

We find that the service provides us with accurate information and answers to all of the questions our type of business needs to know to do our job correctly. In addition, their level of customer service is by far one of the highest in the industry."

"This is by far the best research & marketing tool that I have seen in multifamily commercial real estate. Rents, unit mix, owners' contact information are accurate and up to date. I think there are close to 1,000 larger apartment buildings within a 50 mile radius of my office, it is so great to have a tool on my laptop that allows me to visually see each building, get owners' contact information, rents and other vital data.
I am most impressed by their customer service; if any data was missing or needed to be updated, they provide it in a few hours. The service has become a critical part of my business."
