	Tranquil Hosting "Loren served as a trusted advisor in our office space search and selection process for a new, consolidated data center and offices. His experience and attention to detail were extremely valuable and helpful during the process of talking to landlords, and negotiating a lease. I would certainly recommend Loren in any real estate transaction.” Mark Price, CEO Mark Price, CEO		ACW Tranquil Hosting, Inc. ''I asked Loren to back me up on a 30,000sf warehouse deal I had already started negotiating. Right about the time I engaged Kennedy Advisors, we needed to significantly change the size of the deal and the length of the term. Loren helped with that transition and created an exit strategy with another property. Finally, I was delighted to learn that were several important issues in structuring the business terms that Loren was able to incorporate into the lease..'' Jeff Benes Vice President, ACW Technology, Inc.

	TechShop "You are in a class by yourself. I do not know if I could be where I am now without your involvement on our 25,000sf space. I can assure you that I will never do anything again in commercial real estate without calling you” Scott Saxon Durham Managing Partner, TechShop.

	Cary Alliance Church “Working with Kennedy Advisors to sell our church property was a pleasure! Dave Bodart combined his excellent knowledge with the integrity, diplomacy, and friendliness necessary to allow potential buyers and our leadership to feel comfortable throughout the entire process.” Dave's comprehension of factors influencing property values during the appraisal process, his guidance and superior persuasiveness, resulted in a valuation 26% higher than initially proposed by independent assessment companies. Then he got us the price we asked! During negotiations with our buyer, he crafted ingenious compromises where needed and created an environment that allowed both parties the confidence to effectively complete the process… ultimately everyone left very satisfied! Choosing Dave to handle the sale of CAC was the best decision we made!” Mike Miguel Treasurer/Administrator, Cary Alliance Church		Crescent Communities "I was challenged with identifying immediate and significant cost savings measures. Our largest expense was our office space, so we turned again to Kennedy Advisors for help. Dave quickly identified issues important to both Crescent and our landlord and developed a very creative approach to persuade him to accept an early lease buyout. In a matter of days, an agreement was reached which saved Crescent almost 75% of our total remaining lease commitment! We’ve had two great experiences with Kennedy Advisors and I’m certain we’ll engage them again.” Greg Garrett PE, Senior Manager of Development & Engineering, Crescent Communities Greater Raleigh

	News and Observer "Loren has served our real estate portfolio needs for five years and has always gone the extra mile to serve us on two levels.

Two, he functions as a management consultant, especially on the longer term, more strategic issues.'' George McCanless SVP for Finance & Strategic Planning		KNOWLEDGE PARTNERS INTERNATIONAL ''Loren showed patience, tenacity and a deep understanding of the market and in time delivered an ideal space in a financial package that worked for us and our landlord, and enabled us to achieve a build-out which we had not thought possible.
