Michael Bull was an invaluable advisor, first on branding our office property and then readying it for sale at an optimal price. He then handled the marketing and sale (of two properties) with the highest degree of professionalism, always putting our needs as sellers first. I would highly recommend him and his team. I cannot imagine a more involved, ethical and better-prepared broker.- Ralph G.
Following the closing on the sale of the St. Andrew's building in Springfield, leased to the GSA for the single-tenant use of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of Illinois, we want to again express our deep appreciation for the outstanding work you three did in marketing this GSA asset to our maximum advantage. The result you achieved was well beyond our expectations, and the St. Andrew's board, as well as the First Presbyterian Church of Springfield, Illinois, which wholly owns the St. Andrew's Building Corporation, are extremely grateful for the value your team brought to this sale transaction. It was indeed a pleasure to work with you on this sale.- Kurt Wilke

When I went to Michael Bull of Bull Realty, my partners and I were in a difficult situation: we owned an auto retail center with a loan coming due and were simultaneously at risk of losing our anchor, a national credit tenant that occupied over half of our leasable space. I went to Michael for help and he offered to represent us in renegotiating our expiring lease. The problem was that the tenant, based on their status and prominence in the field, believed that they were in control: they believed that we could ill afford to lose them and would stay only if we agreed not to increase the rent, which after 10 years was below market rates for the area. My partners and I were nervous: we felt we couldn’t risk a vacancy while seeking to refinance the property, so the tenant had us over a barrel. At my suggestion Michael offered to meet them half way between their current and the new market rate, but they held fast and played hard to get. When it became clear that they wouldn’t budge we had a tough decision to make. With Michael’s guidance and encouragement we swallowed hard and cut them loose. From the moment we did so, Michael put his team to work on marketing the space, sharing their highly targeted outreach with us at every stage. Within weeks and prior to the expiration of our existing lease, he had a commitment from a new national credit tenant. We ended up with only a single month of vacancy, a new triple net lease with significantly better terms and an increase in net income of over $40,000 annually. We did well to trust Michael and will benefit from his guidance for years to come. Highly recommended!- Ralph M.
