Dear Mr Kraneis,
We are pleased to confirm that we were extremely satisfied with your outstanding performance. Your rapid and professional handling of our issue was contrasted against the efforts of other agents.
We will recommend you in the future and we are looking forward to another positive collaboration.
Best regards,
Wilhelm Kotter,

When we informed Christie + Co about our intention to expand our business, we were put in the capable hands of Mr Kraneis, who introduced us to numerous hotels, provided us with the required documents and advised us.
We purchased the Quality Hotel Hof Wetzlar (former Kellys Hotel) and, as the hotel was a forced sale, more effort was required from Mr Kraneis than would be usual in a normal hotel purchase.
We are pleased to confirm that we were very satisfied with the work of Mr Kraneis, whose effort, negotiating skills and persuasiveness enabled us to realise our ambitions regarding the purchase price.
Once again we would like to thank Christie + Co and particularly Mr Kraneis, who really earned respect and recognition for his immaculate performance. It goes without saying that we will continue to engage the knowledgeable support of Mr Kraneis in the future.
Sincerely,
Hans WR Kenendie

Dear Mr. Kraneis,
In October 2005 our holding company purchased the Queens Parkhotel in Velbert from Queensgruppe Deutschland. Once again we would like to thank you for your initiation and support during this transaction.
In close cooperation with the IKB Bank Dusseldorf and in coordination with the seller, we closed the deal with the help of your efforts.
We are fully convinced of this hotel. The transaction process flowed smoothly in collaboration with all participated advisors and other parties.
We just have one wish – please let us have more of this as soon as possible!
Best regards,
Dr. Udo Schulz

(…) we would like to thank you for your support after the deal of our Hotel Grüne Tanne has been closed successfully. With your help we were able to find a suitable tenant for our hotel within a few months. Thanks to your great help during the negotiations, the transaction process flowed smoothly. You always handled our questions and suggestions quickly and efficiently. Once again we would like to thank you for this agreeable collaboration and we would always like to seek your assistance again.
Best regards,
Wilhelm Reckendrees
Owner Hotel Grüne Tanne
Re: Parkhotel Schloss Hohenfeld
In March this year, on behalf of our client, the baron Engelbert Reichsfreiherr von Kerckerinck zur Borg, we instructed Christie + Co to find a lessee for the property named above. We are now delighted that this difficult task has been performed successfully. A new operator was found who took over the business on 1st of October 2006.
Christie + Co paved the way to success by personal commitment, through their expertise and business contacts, making exact analyses and by their focussed approach aimed at a solution tailored to the situation of the hotel. They managed to coordinate negotiations with a number of applicants, one of which the owner decided to close the deal with. It was considerably due to the management, the contacts and the good reputation of Christie + Co that a good solution to the problem was found. We therefore would like to express our thanks to Christie + Co.
Due to their convincing performance we will be pleased to recommend Christie + Co to others.
Yours sincerely
Dr Nölke
Solicitor
Dear Mr. Beike,
After having completed the transfer of lessee re. Hotel Albatros, we would like to express our utmost satisfaction regarding the way you acted on our behalf. This is to confirm that we very much appreciated your performance - even though a change of negotiator took place during the negotiations. The quick and professional way in which you proceeded differenciates Christie + Co from other agents. We will recommend Christie + Co in future.
Kind regards,
Fachgemeinschaft Bau Berlin und Brandenburg e.V.
