Review of Spencer Stromberg

I am a practicing attorney in Spokane, Washington and I sit on the board of directors of an apartment building that needed to be converted to a condo. This was a very time consuming and complicated process. We hired Spencer Stromberg to convert the building for us and he did an excellent job. We w...ere all very impressed with Spencer's commitment to making sure the conversion was completed in the best way possible, with all of the details researched and addressed. Not only did Spencer convert the building but he prepared all of the incorporation documents necessary for the conversion. Additionally Spencer has handled closings in the building and ongoing board concerns and issues. All around Spencer Stromberg was the best thing for us -- and finally we found him to be honest, straightforwad, and responsible. I believe he even walked a deed to the assessors office himself when we had a timing issue. I highly recommend Spencer Stromberg and am available for further refernce for him.

Spencer has an icrediable depth of knowledge of nearly all aspedcts of real estate. (agency and brokerage law, residential and commercial development, condo docs, building insurance claims and proceedures, financing docs, real estate and historic tax credits). I have worked closely with Spencer on a ...regular basis for over 5 years. During that time he has handled competently and efficiently the more mundane tasks of our business. When confronted with unexpected legal challenges and hurdles Spencer approached these issues with dogged determination and persistence --always calmly and professionally.
