Aaron’s specialized market understanding was an invaluable asset to us... He made sure to be discreet and offered private tours at hours that wouldn't interfere with business. We received multiple offers that surpassed our expectations, followed by a second round of bidding that further increased the value of the property... In the end, we were more than satisfied with the outcome of our difficult decision to sell. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Aaron.

We started to work with Mr. Kraft about two years ago regarding the potential sale of our building in downtown Bellevue. He did the all-important legwork in presenting it to several interested buyers eventually finding a match that met our qualifications. ...After finding the right buyer, Mr. Kraft also guided us through the closing process, making it as easy as any transaction of this size could be. Aaron has earned my highested recommendation as a realtor, and as a result, I would highly recommend him to those working on commercial real estate in the King County area.

We found Aaron to be highly attentive and professional in his communication with us and potential tenants. He took the time to meet with us on numerous occasions to determine competitive rates for our building type and spaces that were available within the context of the marketplace. ...Aaron was honest with us and was great to work with. We are pleased to recommend Aaron to anyone looking to tenant buildings. He is hands down the best in the business.

Aaron is the real estate broker that you want on your team.
