Testimonial

“I have used Erin Tenner for years in multiple transactions, most recently with the sale of four franchises in Northern California. In every case she covered territory others would not. She treats each deal as if it were her own, not just a task to mark time on. In one sale, she was able to get the manufacturer to release us on a lease that ended up being trouble later and would have been catastrophic for me if I had not gotten that release. I would have never asked, assuming the answer would have been a no, but Erin not only thought of it, she got it done. I never leave her without her!”
