Testimonials

As a Property Manager, there are always education challenges of managing telecom agreements. It is not in my wheelhouse of expertise and therefore a very stressful period when dealing with telecom providers who, like property owners, are in it for their "sides" and it definitely feels like there are pronounced sides!! It is like speaking an entirely different language that Jeffery and Teri somehow speak fluently - thank goodness! When I learned that our company used JRS and Associates it came as such a welcome relief that I had someone who would negotiate on our behalf as long as it took to ensure that we received the fairest outcome possible. They always keep me updated and in the loop so I feel connected and I always feel as though I can call either of them and say "can you please explain this to me in layman terms"! And they kindly do. Although I deal more with Terri I know Jeffrey is always there as needed. Terri is the consummate pro in dealings and knowledge on each project. You can't go wrong with these folks in your corner representing you and your telecom needs! Thanks Jeffrey and Terri!!!

I can’t say enough about JRS and Associates. Before engaging JRS, I had to deal with a tremendous amount of telecom providers whether it be providers wanting access to run fiber in my building (at most times for free at their terms) or a tenant wanting to bring in a specific fiber provider to provide service to their space. The sheer volume was encompassing my time. Negotiations were difficult, as I am not well-versed in all things telecom (rates, business terms, drawing review, etc.). Since engaging with JRS, that has all gone away. They negotiate on TMG’s behalf and have generated a tremendous amount of revenue for our assets. They have been a
life-saver!

I met Jeff early in 2001 after we planned to open in NYC for our wireless site management company,
Highpointe Group.

After months of discussing the opportunities in the wireless space and considering his experience at WTC, his work ethic, and overall “Jersey Good Guy” attitude, I knew we could craft a partnership and grow our platform.

We did that while the market, at that time was in disarray. Legacy companies were going through bankruptcy and restructuring while landlords suffered with poor customer service and declining revenue. HighPointe had a different model, and we were excited to offer landlords an option. Jeff led the effort in the tri state area and travelled the country with the HighPointe team doing audits and identifying unaccounted for revenue.

Back in NYC, the WTC buildings had just sold, and Jeff had completed the construction management for the broadcaster antenna when 9/11 interrupted our takeover plans of the site for January of 2002.

After 9/11, Jeff and HighPointe focused on growth and he was integral to the acquisition of Crown Castle’s site management group, Spectrum Site Management. The next eight years saw annual YOY growth with client buildings from San Francisco, Las Vegas to Washington DC. Clients ranged from condominium associations to institutional clients like JP Morgan Chase, MetLife, Port Authority of New York, CBRE and Vornado.

HighPointe’s sale to a subsidiary of American Tower would not have been possible without Jeff. He is a great man and understands the value of spectrum and the potential of the 5G and later technologies that will influence the built environment and the workplace of the future.

Jeff continues to work with myself and our team on a host of wired and wireless initiatives plus certain low voltage wiring challenges.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mr. Svenningsen and his team for the past 15 years. He’s provided professional assistance and guidance on several of my projects, which have resulted in higher performing critical infrastructure system for my end-user clients. I highly recommend contacting his firm for any support you need regarding your wireless, wireline, right-of-way, and/or core infrastructure systems.

–“Jeff Hogan, Contractor”

Over the past year, I have been tasked with various oversight responsibilities connected with telecom agreements and installations throughout our D.C, Maryland, and Virginia assets. As a Property Management representative, the challenge of managing telecom agreements was well outside my area of expertise apart from the purely administrative or legal agreement contexts.

JRS & Associates had been recommended to me by an internal BXP resource and since that time, I have found them to be utterly indispensable. They have managed a handful of projects for us in this short time and have achieved:

increased fees from providers;
better constructed term agreements that clearly delineate responsibilities of the providers and protect
the ownership;
identification of safety issues and efforts to ensure the providers are in compliance with all appropriate codes and laws; and
fast turn around on all agreements.

With JRS’s partnership and expertise, they have made my job one thousand times easier and they have done so at what I deem to be very competitive costs.

Moreover, Jeff and Terri are incredibly good to work with. They bring thoughtful expertise, determined focus and follow up, meticulous analysis and oversight of design and installation, and a host of excellent ideas designed to make our operations better.

I honestly cannot recommend them highly enough.

–“Timothy Dennis, USA.net”

Always give people more than they expect to get is on the bottom of their company signature line. In my experience, this is 100% true with JRS and Associates. I have been working with their staff for 15+ years and they are best in class. They respond, they understand the business and the technology, they seek and find mutually agreeable solutions. JRS and Associates gets the job done.

–“Amy Nawrocki, CCIM, Director, Real Estate, Cogent Communications”

As a Property Owner and Manager, the challenge of managing telecom agreements is tedious, confusing and time consuming and not in my area of expertise. JRS and Associates has been a breathe of fresh air as they were able to take these projects off of my plate, handle them for me, and only engaging me as needed for specific approvals. They have managed a handful of projects for me and have achieved increased fees from fiber and rooftop providers, secure more details and specific right of entry agreements, handle all engineering and safety matters involved with each telecommunications installation and are able to all of this on a very short timeline. With JRS and Associates partnership and expertise, they have made by job much easier and have done so at very competitive costs. In addition, Jeff and Terri are very polite, direct yet professional, well organized, and very thorough on each project.
