Testimonials

Peralta Mixed-Use Senior Housing

For the past two years, our firm has been working closely with Dutra Cerro Graden on a complex development transaction in Fremont, CA. They have been instrumental in helping us to consummate this high profile transaction.

Throughout the process they have provided us with vital input and assistance with respect to the arduous negotiation process with the sellers, the planning process and the political landscape within the City of Fremont. They have also assisted us in negotiating lease buyouts and interim leases with several retail tenants in order to lay the groundwork for their future relocation.

I have found their firm to be extremely competent and conscientious, and they have continually displayed the highest integrity and professionalism throughout the course of our relationship.

Linda Mandolini, Executive Director

Salesian Society Provincial Office

The project was and is a sensitive one for the Salesian Society. Because of the complexity and sensitive nature of the situation we required our real estate consultant/broker to both have the ability to thoroughly listen to our objectives and then employ the skill sets necessary to accomplish what we required. In my view, Dominic Dutra and Alan Cerro were a perfect fit. They listened intently and then jumped into action. Their firm developed a series of presentations that were extremely professional, demonstrated their market knowledge and illustrated a command of the processes necessary to achieve the tasks set before them.

From my experience, I would gladly recommend Dutra Cerro Graden to any client seeking the highest caliber of expertise in land use and brokerage matters.

Stephen Pezzola, CEO

Monticello Terrace

Dominic took control of the marketing, construction and sales of Monticello Vista Estates. He handled the contractors with a firm hand and he assured every sale closed. Even a modest size project has infinite details that must be completed successfully for the whole to succeed and Dominic made it happen. Best of all he was great to work with and did everything with integrity.

I am particularly impressed with Mr. Dutra's great attention to details, such as timelines, the ongoing monitoring of the progress of the sale and ultimately, the timely completion of the project to the satisfaction of all involved.

Sister Sharon Flannigan, President

Calvary Chapel Fremont

In three-and-a-half years of searching for a church building that would be a perfect fit for us, I have found Dominic to be the quintessential professional: informed, candid, patient, prompt, thorough and trustworthy.

Tim Brown, Pastor

Thanks to the professionalism and perseverance of Landis and Dominic, I am delighted to report we were able to close escrow on our simultaneous double transaction precisely on time! You can imagine the response from my board when I informed them we would not need to seek additional short-term funding. We estimate that Landis' and Dominic's effort enabled us to pay the Oakland city transfer tax once instead of twice - thereby saving us thousands of dollars.
