TESTIMONIAL: Charley Senn and I have had a 25 year relationship. It has been outstanding. He started out representing a very good tenant and was very conscientious and did all the things I wanted in leasing agent. After that, the next time I had a space come up I listed it with him. He does an excellent job. So, he has continued to represent me and eventually took over all my leasing even to tenants I had had before. His current arrangement with Mark Anderson and Derek Senn has been excellent as well. -Chuck French
