"I have known Mr. Kent Oelkers for more than seventeen (17) years. We began our business relationship when I was Vice President for Pollina Corporate Real Estate in the early 2000s. 


Kent and I worked on several real estate projects together and he is as honest as the day is long and very candid. He will give you an honest assessment of the situation whether you like the answer or not. 


I believe he and his team can deliver and they will give you the best prices available. "

"I have known Kent Oelkers for most of my life. He has been both a great friend and confidante. We have never done business together, but our fathers had in the past. 


He comes from a family of very hard workers. What I can say about Kent is he is a lot like his father. Never met anyone he doesn’t like. Hard working, whatever it takes he will do it.  


And very much customer oriented, again like his father. He is a little old fashioned like me, a hand shake even though today doesn’t mean much to most.   


It means everything to both him and I. In short you are in very good hands if you are doing business with this man.  "
