“I have worked with BellCornerstone on many projects since first meeting them in 2013. In those 10 plus years they have earned my total trust in assisting me with various real estate transactions across the country in many different markets. I came to think of them as my in-house real estate partner as we worked together to find space to lease, lease out existing space to third parties, repurpose space to maximize rental income or save expense, sell buildings and many other building and real estate related transactions. They have been great in not only executing on our needs, but becoming a trusted consultant in providing suggestions and alternatives to more efficiently manage our space and generate positive economic impact.”

“BellCornerstone has been and continues to be, an outstanding partner for my clients and me. BellCornerstone is a no-nonsense, down-to-earth firm with a unique understanding of the commercial real estate market especially as it relates to the newspaper industry. Bell works only for its client in a specific market and does not represent competing interests. Our relationship over the past four years has been very mutually beneficial.”

Leonard Woolsey

“BellCornerstone should be everyone’s first stop when making decisions about building inventory. Professional, knowledgeable and highly effective. Make the call.”

Steve McCauley

"GateHouse engaged BellCornerstone as a vendor for the review of a single transaction in Florida. BellCornerstone's recommendation & creative solutions directly resulted in saving millions of dollars, reducing term, and right sizing our operation. BellCornerstone now represents our portfolio nationwide and is considered among our most trusted advisors."

Rod Mayette

"BellCornerstone's knowledge of the market and thorough analysis of our options, along with their expertise and guidance, enabled us to achieve all of our goals. They found us a property that wasn’t officially on the market in a building where space was not initially vacant. The cost-benefit analysis that BellCornerstone's unique approach provided to our company was tremendously valuable. As a result of BellCornerstone's work, we were able to commit more of our time and resources to growing our business and brand."

Joel Christopher

“This is an ideal relationship for everyone. [The Buyer] gets a great location to expand his rapidly growing, locally based businesses, Knox News locks in a long-term deal for its production and office needs, and other businesses get an opportunity to lease in a location with tremendous access to downtown, the airport and the interstate system.”

Mark Davitt

"It is a pleasure to deal with true professionals who deliver value, and Mark Bethmann is such a professional."

Heidi Wright

“BellCornerstone is uniquely positioned to assess, market and sell under-utilized facilities in the newspaper industry. Their strategic approach and market analysis ensured that our property received maximum exposure and attracted serious interest. Such was the case with our Pendleton property which Bell sold at full value in less than 120 days. Brian and Aidan offered invaluable advice that guided us through the complexities of the real estate transaction. Their expertise was evident in their ability to navigate negotiations, legal considerations and logistical challenges with ease.”

JJ Tompkins

“When I assumed leadership at NMC a few years ago, my primary goal was to optimize our resources. Partnering with the BellCornerstone team, led by Aiden Cleghorn and Brian Rossi, we developed a comprehensive plan to address our underutilized real estate. The execution of this plan, guided by their expertise and dedication, has allowed us to wipe out almost all of our debt and focus on what we do best, media operations, serving our communities with quality journalism and growing advertising. I would highly recommend setting up a call with BellCornerstone.”

Michael Fishman

BellCornerstone has been a wonderful partner in helping right-size our business. Their experience working with others in the industry has provided a unique perspective in our strategic initiatives. Their attention to detail and sincere concern have been paramount.

“The level of commitment that was made to create this unique technology campus experience, combined with a focus on employee wellness and community sustainability, is the perfect fit for Pharos as we further our development as a benefit corporation and solidify our foundation for growth.”

Jon K. Rust

“We’ve ‘right-sized’ several of our operations into smaller buildings and sold old press plants. BellCornerstone has been a pleasure to work with: straightforward, responsive, creative and successful. We’ve worked with other firms, but the BellCornerstone team is the absolute best in keeping us up to date on all aspects of the process. They’re also fun to work with!”
