Testimonials

"We have been active brokers and owners of Manufactured Home Communities for over 30 years.  Until we hired Rick Jebb and his team, we had never used outside brokerage or granted and exclusive listing.  Since then we have done ten transactions and have never been disappointed.  Jebb and his team deliver on their promises.  They have consistently met or exceeded our expectations.  I would highly recommend Rick because of his ability to develop and execute cutting edge marketing strategies with precision, integrity and professionalism.  Jebb gets the job done!"

 "I want to take this opportunity to thank you and your associates for your successful efforts in marketing our four manufactured home communities in Illinois, Indiana and Pennsylvania to three different purchasers over the past two years.

During this time, I have gained a true appreciation for your forthrightness, creativity, honesty, professionalism and ability to deliver.  Although you had met a previous associate of mine, I have yet to meet you in person (which I hope to do at some point in the future).  I think this speaks volumes about how you have gained my trust and confidence.

If we had more manufactured home communities to sell, I would not even talk to anyone else; and if I were a purchaser, I would want to deal with you because you have a clear understanding of value.  I think that each of the purchasers of our properties appreciated working with you also, as all of the closings occurred without any hitches."

"Recently, Follett Investment Properties, Inc. hired Rick Jebb and his team to sell two of our land-lease communities located in the Midwest.  We felt we needed someone with local market expertise to handle these transactions and found Rick to be the right person for the job.  He added value to our transactions by bringing credibility, professionalism and marketing strategies to the table.  Needless to say, we have been pleased with the results and would highly recommend using Rick and his team to other community owners"

"During the past 15 years, I've relied on Rick Jebb as a key Midwest contact relative to land-lease community real estate brokerage and mortgage origination.  Always willing to assist, his knowledge of the manufactured housing industry, and its sister real estate asset class, are invaluable to client and peer alike."

"Rick is much more than a commercial real estate broker, he is an astute real estate analyst and forecaster. Rick has been in the manufactured housing community sector for several decades and worked earlier in his career doing real estate equity syndications, so he understands the asset class from both the buy and sale sides. I would hire him again."

"We met Rick in 2004…..He has since helped us purchase 4 communities and has been a   resource and a mentor every step of the way. He continues to service the deals and helps us build industry relationships well after the closings. His integrity and understanding of the business is top notch and we continue to look to Rick for his opionion before doing deals."

"When the time came to sell, I chose Rick Jebb and his team over a national competitor based on his reputation in the industry for getting results, and the strong recommendation of a portfolio owner with over 20 years in the industry.  I was not disappointed.  Their competitive marketing resulted in multiple offers at list price and above.  Their ability to understand the complexities of the transaction on every level, meet every problem head-on with 'outside the box' thinking and a win/win solution made the difference between this deal closing and not closing.  I highly recommend Rick Jebb, Mark de Veer and Chris Pezza to anyone thinking of selling an MH Community."

I met Rick when I bought my first manufactured home community and have kept in contact ever since.  He has always accommodated me whether I was buying or selling and has openly offered advice on an industry that was once new to me.   Fifteen years and five closed deals later, I called upon Rick one last time to exclusively list my only remaining community.  Facing the challenges of a tertiary market and private utilities was all in a days work to the Prudential Commercial Real Estate team – they facilitated access to a range of heavily screened buyers, mostly all of whom I would have never found on my own, and closed the deal with a great fit.  The same can be said for all six times I called upon Prudential when it was time to sell.  I am glad to have had the opportunity to work with such motivated and trustworthy clients and highly recommend Rick Jebb's services to anyone considering selling their manufactured home community.
