YABLO is a good man… a maverick with an internal moral compass that drives him to tell it like it is and do the best job that he can.
He gets his part of the deal done right every time. YABLO won’t let you down… and that takes lots of hard work on his part.
Straight talk and hard work have quietly made YABLO Commercial what it is today.

We had very strict guidelines for Rich when we first started our search for a commercial building, and we expected him to grow tired of our finicky needs. Instead, it was an unexpected pleasure working with Rich because he is a low pressure, laid back, yet hard working agent who took time to understand our needs.
Rich saved us thousands of dollars in negotiations, gently pushed the other party to a quick close, and informed us of all the steps we had to take to get to a successful close. All of the business advice he gave us was sound.

I am a licensed real estate broker and investor. Even though I am able to facilitate my own transactions, I have found Rich to be a very valuable resource. I have contracted with him to list and sell real estate that I could have sold on my own, but because I thought I would have better negotiating power through the use of an outside agent, I entered into a listing agreement with Rich. On the last deal I did with Rich he sold my 20,000 square foot office complex for $100,000 more than I thought is was worth!

I enjoyed working with Rich. I always felt it was a 2-way relationship and I always knew where I stood.Rich provided clear direction and I always had feedback that was useful. Problems were easily identified and subsequently solved. This was a win-win situation. I would not hesitate to work with Rich again. I trusted everything he told me and I was not disappointed.

I have worked with YABLO Commercial on a few different transactions, both personally and professionally. I was really impressed ....... They got my transactions done quickly and I had better than expected results in both situations. I felt that they treated me fairly and ethically and were very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend (YABLO) to anyone working on a commercial property transaction and I will definately work with them again in the future.

In reading the testimonials on Rich's website, the vast majority of them are from rather well known, larger companies. I am thrilled to say that I received the same first class service from Rich as they did. I am just starting out as a business owner, and had the good fortune to find Rich in my quest to lease office space. He walked me through every step of some very unfamiliar territory for me. He was very patient, thorough, and always kept me informed of the process. He made a very scary situation bearable. Thanks, Rich!

I have just wrapped up my first transaction with Rich Yablonsky, of Yablo Commercial Real Estate, and I can honestly say that the experience has been one of the best I have had since I started in Real Estate more than 20 years ago. Rich had consistently and vigorously represented my organization at all steps in the process. What Rich did for us, that I can honestly say no one has before, was to provide advice to us in order to make the best possible decisions in a prompt and professional manner.
I would highly recommend Rich Yablonsky, and Yablo Commercial Real Estate, to be your Broker of choice for commercial real estate transactions.

I want to say thank you for all your hard work selling my building. From the first day on the market to the end of closing you gave 100%. You were very respectful and business like to both myself and my tenants by giving advance notices, phone call and emails for all the showings and the extensive work to keep everyone informed of the million inspections.
I appreciate you going out of your way for all the help, being a widow with 3 children, a busy schedule and working full time has helped with the sale of the building to all go well and the least amount of stress on my part. All of my tenants felt you were very respectful to them and their business during this time.
I would highly recommend you to anyone interested in buying or selling their property. You are extremely knowlegable of the business and go out of your way with all the paperwork, scheduling and representing me as the seller with my best interests in mind. I called you when I was interested in listing the building because you had the building for sale with my husband and I when we were looking for a building and that was years ago. I know that you are familiar with the business and the area and have the experience and know what it takes when you are to buy or sell. From the day I signed the listing it was less than 50 days and we had a signed letter of intent. When I listed I truly felt it would take a year to sell in this market so it was great news to have a buyer in 50 days!!
I always knew I made the right decision with your company and will use you again and would highly recommend you to anyone looking to buy or sell. Keep up the good work and thanks again for a GREAT job.
Kathy Precht
Thank you for all your work on securing the lease on our new building. I really appreciate the fact that you kept me well informed during lease negotiations. Your hard work in locating a building and through the long negotiation was invaluable. No doubt we will look for your help on future real estate requirements.
Best Regards,

I just wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed doing business with you this past year. It is obvious that the care and individual attention you give your clients, along with your intelligence and decisiveness has helped you create the impressive brokerage you run today. You have been extremely prompt and courteous which has helped all of our business transactions run smoothly.
Working with you has been a real pleasure and I look forward to working with you again. I will be sure to recommend you to anyone I come across that is in need of any assistance with commercial real estate.

While searching for my realtor to list my property I was doing my homework to make sure I get the most aggressive and best representation. Ryan Hoveland was the answer.
At first I was not much interested but then he was relentless. Called me once a week to let me know he was available and ready to list my property. He was the only realtor calling me persistently week after week. I listed my property with him and in a month I got my space leased. Kudos to Ryan!!! I would recommend him to anybody.

In the spring of 2005 my partnership was looking to acquire a property for several million dollars as a Section 1031 exchange. I was introduced to Rich Yablonsky of YABLO Commercial Real Estate in Plymouth, MN, who represented the seller. We made a contract and successfully completed the purchase.
Rich was very professional and thorough in producing promptly all required records and data. He made the transaction close timely and smoothly. I would recommend YABLO Commercial Real Estate for any party seeking commercial real estate services.

As we approached the challenge of filling our family owned office space in the midst of a recession, we knew we had our hands full. Our search led us to a number of potential agents. Although many appeared to be concerned that we were asking too much, YABLO understood the potential. As did we, they knew the space would be right for someone. Indeed after an indepth review of our situation, Rich of YABLO actually offered suggestions for improving our business’ approach to real estate.
As the weeks progressed, YABLO continued to supply us with a stream of qualified potential lessees. Quickly, they found an excellent match for our location…a tenant that didn’t just want the space, but one that provided excellent synergy with other existing tenants. The deal progressed quickly and an agreement was reached. The whole deal unfolded in a win-win spirit…the manner of which was orchestrated by Rich from the outset.
We found YABLO’s work to be outstanding. A deal completed in a difficult recession without compromising on price and ensured by an experienced partner that even today we consider a friend…how could we feel any other way?

In today’s market everything is tough and the thought of selling a 17k plus square foot building seemed in the beginning like it would be a challenging task to say the least. When we listed the property my partners and I felt it would probably take all of at least of a year before we would get an offer we felt we would be interested in. Yet to our pleasant surprise you brought us a full price offer within days of the building being listed. The service that followed was seamless and we appreciate your dedication and expertise in executing a smooth and profitable close. Best of luck to you and your team in the future!

I had been looking for new office space for quite a while without success, when it was recommended to me that I should speak with Rich Yablonsky of YABLO Commercial Real Estate. By the end of our first meeting, I was confident that Rich was the right person to help me. He immediately understood what it was that I needed and why specific things were so important. Within hours, I was looking at new space and Rich was along with me evaluating the pros and cons of each location. His tireless efforts to find exactly what I wanted and then working with me through the leasing process made what is usually a difficult and stressful experience as easy as could be.
Without reservation, I would highly recommend Rich to anyone looking for commercial space and I look forward to working with him on my next project.

Hello Rich,
Just wanted to drop you a quick thank you on helping me and my company find the warehouse/office we needed. As you know I just moved here from Los Angeles, where my company BeCore Promotions, Inc is headquartered. Because of the special needs we have for a warehouse I went through a few realtors to help find what I was looking for. All the realtors stopped looking for me after only a few attempts and stopped calling me back. You on the other hand stuck with me and found exactly what we needed. You were extremely professional, listened to my concerns, worked with me in negotiating a deal, offered your expertise advice and I never felt pressured. Thanks again for helping us and me out, please use my name as a reference anytime.
Sincerely,
Mitchell Schwartz

Excellent Commercial Broker!
We contracted Rich to help us navigate lease vs. buy opportunities and he was extremely professional, patient, and responsive to our needs. This was our first experience in commercial real estate and it was clear from the start that it was beneficial to have an expert in the field on our side. I would recommend Rich to anyone, and look forward to working with YABLO again in the future.
