“Black Gate Partners was a pleasure to work with on their acquisition of a Columbus-area shopping center I brokered. They conducted thorough diligence prior to submitting an LOI and remained timely and responsive throughout the DD process. With debt and equity in place early, the transaction was smooth and seamless from start to finish.”
