I can't even begin to express how smooth and easy Rapid City Commercial was in our deal. Chris and Hannah were in constant communication with us, and constantly tracking down details. It turned a potentially nervous and complicated experience into one where we had confidence and clarity. Thank you!

Dan is phenomenal at what he does! He is patient and takes his time to figure out what kind of space you want. He found the perfect space for my company! The thing I appreciated even more was the follow up after the deal was done. He keeps in touch and helps anyway he can. I highly recommend him to anyone know looking!

I can't believe how quickly Dan was able to find us a place! He listened to our needs and was very open minded. He secured us an amazing location on the west side. We could not have asked for a better spot! Dan is who you want!!
