I have been investing with NOYACK and CJ Follini for over 14 years. In that time he and his team have brought me investments across a range of commercial real estate deal opportunities. His investment discovery approach combines creative thinking with hard work and data-centric analysis in a way that exceeds return expectations each year.

I have had the pleasure of knowing CJ and his family for many years. More recently, I have had the privilege of investing directly with CJ on several ventures ranging from a female-founded VC to supply chain real estate in Columbus Ohio. In all cases I have found CJ to be attentive to all details of the investments and informative in keeping all investors current with updates and status reports. More importantly, I can personally testify as to his work ethic, integrity, honesty and genuine concern for the investors funds and interests. Specifically, despite the trying economic times, he went above and beyond in recasting the mortgage(s) on the Ohio venture at more favorable terms. In fact, he advanced his own funds, rather than making a capital call, in order to expedite the refinance in a timelier fashion. I have already committed to his next venture and have all the confidence in CJ that he will do all that is necessary to ensure that it is successful and benefits all those that take part in this new endeavor. It seems that he has taken to heart one of my many personal sayings - “Makes money with Partners, not from them”.

As a finance and investment professional of over 50 years, I performed a lot of due diligence on both CJ Follini and Noyack. In fact CJ traveled to meet me in Sarasota and spent considerable time answering my questions while describing his innovative strategy. I admire his vision for the CRE investment landscape and if my career taught me one thing - know your partners well. So after looking at 100's of sponsors over the last couple years, I consider Noyack to be among the best and CJ Follini as a talented investment professional who emphasizes transparency, communication and putting investors first before all else. He’s terrific.

CJ Follini has an amazing track record in alternative investments and commercial real estate built over three decades. That kind of staying power requires a unique ability and a range of skills from the vision to see what challenges lay ahead to the necessary discipline to adhere to investment criteria regardless of what the ‘herd’ is doing. Noyack’s meticulous management of all the details of complex investment real estate transactions is why my family has enjoyed such a long and successful relationship. Kudos!
