Client Testimonials
“Randy and Darren are a great team to work with. They are very experienced and well connected, which is extremely helpful to a small company like us. They stayed on top of the closing schedule, and made sure everything was taken care of.”
– Jie Wu Pan, Ph.D. – Nest Scientific USA
“Working with Team Lizzack-Horning is “streamlining the process” at its best. Darren and Randy acted as the quarterback to market our property and facilitate a transaction with our tenant, Holy Name Medical Center. These guys understand their business well and their diligence and persistence is what sets them apart from other brokers I have worked in the past. I recommend to anyone looking for a good TEAM approach to getting the job done.”
