Testimonials & References
"The assistance I received from ParSell Development Corp and their knowledge of
the Postal Service is second to none." "As a developer, I had a couple of post
offices with several unresolved issues that were causing both the Postal Service and
myself serious problems. After one meeting at the FSO with Chuck Baker and I, the District
and Real Estate an agreement was reached on almost all of the issues. We all gained a
better understanding of each other’s responsibilities. The following week, having
cleared-up several concerns by the Real Estate Specialist, I was awarded another New
Construction Leased project."
"To say I am satisfied with ParSell’s ability to successfully intercede on
behalf of the Lessor is an understatement. Dollar for Dollar, I am more than 10-fold
better off than if I hadn’t used Chuck Baker and Bob Wilkes."

" I met Mr. Wilkes at the Lessors meeting in Orlando, FL. Having consulted an
attorney, I had already signed and submitted my new lease to the Postal Service."
However, I discussed the terms and conditions with Mr. Wilkes to get his
perspective."
"Mr. Wilkes saved me thousands of dollars. After reviewing the Lease, which
hadn’t been signed by the Postal Service yet, he suggested I rescind the agreement
and negotiate a new, more favorable lease. I agreed and contracted with ParSell
Development Corp to handle the negotiations."
"In the original lease I had the responsibility to make parking lot repairs of
$15,000 or more. Mr. Wilkes, in his renegotiations transferred the repair of the parking
lot to the Postal Service, saving me at least $15,000. Additionally, he was able to get a
higher rental rate of an additional $80,000 over the 10-year term."

"My first post office was a retail store concept in a vacant storefront in Coral
Gables, FL. My partner and I have a few other facilities in Florida and have negotiated
with several real estate specialists. That is how I met Jean and Chuck Baker. It is also
where I developed a deep respect for their knowledge and abilities to negotiate and deal
fairly with all parties."
"I was presented with very serious and potentially costly issues concerning one of
my postal facilities and the Florida Department Of Transportation (DOT). This was my first
experience with DOT and believe me, it is a lasting one. I contacted the Postal Service
for help, only to find that the Bakers had left the Postal Service. I found them in the
phone directory and asked for their help."
"The problem was, I asked the City for a site plan review and approval. It was
tentatively approved, but DOT wanted me to make several changes to the roadway, median
cuts and other improvements. These improvements were estimated to be several hundred
thousand dollars. Enter Jean Baker. Jean’s knowledge of the Law and regulations,
combined with knowing where to look, did what my lawyers could not do. Jean attended a
meeting with DOT, my lawyer and me and she got the project moving. After two meetings, the
problems were resolved, the improvement requirements and costs were greatly reduced (now
estimated at less than $45,000). I now consult with ParSell Development Corp on all postal
related issues."
