"I have utilized AFCO Realty’s services for the last 18 years as Chief Financial Officer for the world’s largest trade association serving the life insurance industry. The staff members are consummate professionals with an encyclopedic knowledge of the Greater Atlanta commercial real estate marketplace. Their Chairman, Sam Friedman, has personally reinforced with me how the Golden Rule is so important in long-term business relationships. His guidance, advice, knowledge, and patience helped me save millions in leasehold expense through two footprint reductions, one renewal, one early termination, and one office relocation for the association while also delivering a workspace that far surpassed our criteria and expectations. I bestow my highest recommend for AFCO Realty for any commercial estate transaction that you may be contemplating!"

“Our law firm has worked exclusively with AFCO Realty and Sam Friedman for many years. Sam negotiated our first office lease as we expanded our business into the Atlanta market. Since that initial negotiation, he has counseled us on extending our lease and exercising an option to expand. In each negotiation, his depth of experience and respect in the industry made all the difference.”

"Sam Friedman saved my legal career. In January of this year (2017), I learned that the firm where I served as counsel was going to close. I needed to find suitable space on an immediate basis. Sam worked diligently with us and found us the perfect space in a week. Due to his reputation in the business, the landlord allowed us to move our furniture into the suite even before we signed the lease. I will always be grateful to Sam."
