For the past several years ROCK Commercial had been managing one property for us in Pennsylvania and doing a wonderful job in all areas. We were so pleased that we added another three properties (1 in Pennsylvania and 2 in Maryland) earlier this year. We are very pleased with their attentiveness and timely replies in all matters. We would highly recommend ROCK Commercial Real Estate to others.

JaNeene Powell, Owner
Harwell Properties, LLC

ROCK has a special way of looking at the market. They are creative and intuitive. They made sure that all of their contacts were aware of the space we had available and how being in our location could help their business grow. They met with current tenants to see if their ideas could be used in leasing our spaces. ROCK had reports and maps and demographics outlined in such a way that far exceeded our expectations. Kevin Hodge kept us up to date on their efforts and gave feedback along the way.

The great thing with ROCK and dealing with Jason is that I know I am dealing with somebody who knows the market, and operates with pure professionalism and integrity. Also, Jason and the staff at ROCK are long tenured associates with many years of experience. For me there is no question Jason and ROCK are the only people I would trust and deal with my real estate transactions. Highly recommend.
