Report
From our first interaction through our closing, Erica Seelman was a huge asset to us as we searched the Cedar Rapids market for the right opportunity for our future restaurant. With some of our partners out of state and others local, she professionally and graciously kept us all in communication and presented a variety of options for us to consider until we found and negotiated for the right property. Additionally, she shared valuable contacts and suggestions to get us connected in the community with different vendors and professionals we would use throughout our search, purchase and construction
