I enjoyed working closely with Graig Griffin on the Cottonwood Heights Planning Commission. Graig is highly intelligent, and is very skilled at identifying and resolving the key issues involved in complicated real estate matters. He brings a unique combination of analytical capabilities and common sense practicalities to all matters. He understands the real estate business and how good decisions are made. I am impressed by his ability to manage difficult situations and people, and create win-win scenarios. His verbal and written communication skills are excellent, and his enthusiasm and positive attitude are contagious.

Graig, I have had the pleasure of working with many, but you and your team are the very best, particularly with very complicated and lengthy inter-state transactions. You have operated with great professionalism, fairness, and diligence through a successful closing. I would recommend you highly. Let me know if you need me to speak with any prospect you may have and I can elaborate on your level of expertise based on my own years of business with you and your organization.
— Robert Giovanni
For over 35 years I have invested developed, bought, sold and leased in excess of $6.5 billion in real estate. I know real estate and I know real estate people. Graig Griffin is one of the best. He has razor sharp insight in what it takes to consummate a real estate investment, acquisition or sale. His 25 +/- years in the business has accumulated solid know how, a relentless reach for excellence, and capabilities which he uses with the skill of a surgeon. I wish to add that beyond real estate knowledge and skills, Graig is a person of integrity and a person who cares about his fellow man.
