What People Say About Us

"Our firm, Yankton Area Progressive Growth, Inc., finished construction on a 40,000 square foot spec building in 2013. Soon thereafter we listed the property with a very well known national commercial real estate firm. During the following three years, the aforementioned real estate firm engaged with us on a very limited basis and followed up with only a few referrals. On a couple of potential client visits, the listing firm didn't even send a company representative to assist us in our showings. Needless, to say we were very disappointed and felt we needed better representation with a firm that was more engaged and had a better understanding of our local economic environment.
Yankton Area Progressive Growth was very fortunate to be introduced to Bill Connelly and through that initial meeting, we knew Bill and NAI had the necessary resources and referral network needed to assist us in the sale of our building. Bill was very knowledgeable about Yankton's political and economical dynamic and used that information to market our property to potential clients who were a "good fit" for our community.

Bill Connelly was very active in marketing our building on a local, regional and national level and who referred our site to several prospective clients. I must note that, for each and every client introduction and site showing, Bill was right by our side. In addition, Bill thoroughly researched his clients and provided us with very valuable information on each to assist us in determining how these prospective buyers would impact Yankton from an economical and social perspective.

Yankton Area Progressive Growth executed an agreement with NAI on September 17, 2016 and we were under contract for the sale of our spec building within ten months. It is for the reasons noted herein that I highly recommend Bill Connelly and NAI Commercial Real Estate Services. Bill has proven himself to be a highly effective and involved professional of the highest degree." 

"Marcus is a true team player that puts client needs over his own! I had a tight timeline to find an office and not much knowledge of downtown office space and what I actually wanted or needed. However Marcus made himself available immediately and he quickly understood my needs, making them his focus. Even though the properties he was currently responsible for didn't meet my needs, Marcus made sure that NAI did by unselfishly connecting me with another team member who represented a more appropriate space. His market knowledge, willingness to collaborate, and focus on understanding/meeting client needs with urgency really simplified the process for me. I would highly recommend Marcus!"

"Jon is a team player and a pleasure to work with. Finding office space can be daunting, however Jon makes sure he understands/meets your needs in order to 'get it right' before just 'getting it done.' Despite the demanding timeline I had to work with, he was always available and made the whole process easier and more enjoyable. I would highly recommend Jon!"

"Thank you Marcus for your efforts on the sale of our property in Ipswich SD. NAI of Sioux Falls, and yourself, were a great team to help us with this sale. Everything was very professional, and the communication was superb. It is so nice to get answers when needed, and in a timely manner. We will certainly use you in our next need for selling one of our properties. I will not hesitate to refer you to anyone looking for help as well!"

"We had a great experience working with Michael Martin at NAI Sioux Falls for the recent purchase of our office space.  Michael showed us several rental and sale properties to help us find the perfect fit for our growing business.  He also handled some unexpected curve balls tossed our way making the transition a breeze for us as we moved forward with our first property purchase.  We are very pleased with the quick turn around that allowed us to be in prior to our busy season."

“Our Church made a difficult decision to not build a new building but rather look for an existing building or space to remodel instead.  Finding an existing building or space to fit a church can be extremely difficult.  Marcus took the time to listen to the specific needs and wants of the church before attempting to locate properties.  That approached help narrow the search for him and helped us keep an open mind on the options presented.  In the end we found the right fit and Marcus made it happen.  We are very appreciative of Marcus’ thorough approach and professionalism.” 

“I would like to thank Dale Zomer from NAI Sioux Falls for doing a wonderful job brokering the sale of our Days Inn Hotel. We listed with Dale and NAI in August of 2017 and closed in mid-November of 2017--a remarkably short time.  Dale worked on this very hard and talked to a lot of buyers before he landed the right one. He was also a very good communicator with us, the buyers, banks, attorneys and title company. He always made sure things were going smoothly to ensure this transaction could happen in a timely manner. I would work with Dale Zomer again and I would recommend using him as a realtor for any of your commercial real estate needs! He will get it done! Thanks again, Dale!”

“We are very pleased with our purchase of the Hotel and the service Dale Zomer and NAI Sioux Falls brought forth. We really liked the professionalism and knowledge Dale has in the Hospitality market. We knew from the get go we would be working with Dale Zomer. Thanks again Dale for finding us the right property and we are excited about our new investment! We recommend using Dale Zomer and NAI Sioux Falls for your Hospitality investments. He knows how to find the properties that will fit your needs. Very Pleased! “

“We are extremely happy with the time and effort Michael put into finding an office space for us.  He was very good at communicating and always quickly responded to emails, texts, and phone calls.  He did an excellent job of explaining things and helping us negotiate a great deal."

“I had been searching for the right office for my small business for several months and had worked with a few different property management companies without any success. That was until I worked with Marcus [Mahlen]. Marcus took an entirely different approach from other commercial real estate brokers and took the time to precisely understand what our needs were and provided an office solution that exceeded my expectations. What is more, Marcus made the entire process of leasing an office space straight forward and effortless. I could not recommend Marcus and NAI highly enough."
