“ When I read your impressive list of references and the recommendations from other clients of Deere Park, I could not understand what would motivate so many people to write such glowing accolades. After working with you and your staff for over three months, here I am adding my name to that group!! Everything you promised was fulfilled and all of the goals of my family were achieved and exceeded!! Above all, I want to express my appreciation for treating our customers, employees, and my family with dignity and respect. Results talk. We are most pleased with Deere Park’s service, your advice, the Sale results, and strongly recommend dealers trust your judgment as we did.”

Aidee Fonseca, Owner, Packwood’s Showcase Galleries, Salinas, CA

“ As you know, I have been in business in Albuquerque for forty-five years. I was concerned with my business reputation and was concerned that our employees be treated fairly as we went out of business. Choosing your firm to conduct our sale was obviously the right choice. All the members of your management team were great to work with. Everybody displayed professionalism, respect and courtesy throughout the process. The final result was what we hoped for both financially and our reputation in the community. Thank you for living up to your end of the transaction.”

Jack Stahl, Former Lt. Governor of New Mexico, Owner, Academy Furniture

“ Please accept this letter in appreciation for the outstanding performance of your entire organization in our recent Ethan Allen Store Closing Event. Throughout this fifteen-week event, your organization handled every customer with dignity and a professionalism that equaled our own company. At the end of the sale, you maintained and preserved the good will and outstanding reputation that our family has built for generations.”

Harry Phillips, Owner, Ethan Allen Home Interiors

“ As President of Steve Silver Company, an international supplier of home furnishing products, I have the opportunity to work with the industry’s strongest retailers and consulting organizations. The strength of our program forges our decision to choose our partners carefully, including consulting companies providing services to the home furnishing industry. When my brother made his decision to close his store in New York, there was only one company that I would have trusted to handle the liquidation. Every aspect of the Sale was most professional, as retailers must trust a liquidator explicitly with their future. Please add my name to the lengthy list of knowledgeable retailers and manufacturers that recognize Deere Park Associates and Richard Glabman, without exception, as the best consultant in the home furnishing industry.”

Steve Silver, President, Steve Silver Company

“ If you are experiencing difficulty operating your store or stores and do not know who to turn to for help, this letter will confirm that after working daily with Deere Park Associates and their principal, Richard Glabman for almost a year, every promise, every projection, and every commitment made was achieved or exceeded. The Sale conducted under their control and supervision was an OUTSTANDING SUCCESS, producing results far greater than the most optimistic projection. I provide this unconditional and unreserved recommendation for the services of Deere Park Associates in hopes that another home furnishing retailer can benefit from their association.”

Jim Bullock, President, Bullock Fine Furniture & Bedding

“ Thank you for all of your assistance with our recent Chicago project. You and your staff are most professional and I was able to turn over my store to you with confidence you would not only achieve our goals, but also protect our image and reputation. I am writing this letter in hopes that my experience with your organization can serve as a reference to other dealers. When we first met, Shamrock Furniture maintained five retail stores in the Chicago area. We recently had taken over a La-Z-Boy retail store location, but we were not able to achieve the sales volume necessary in this store to make this location profitable. We originally met with you for consulting services on general operations. While your advice and suggestions were most positive, when we requested you run a “cash-raising event” in all our stores, you advised that such an event would have a negative image on our future business, potentially harming the reputation of our other stores, and you respectfully declined the engagement. Our later investigation into these types of events and the promoters who promise results from “relinquishment”, “Wall to Wall Inventory Clearance” events, and “Inventory Liquidation” promotions, actually harm future survival of the business and proved your advice to us was correct. You were focused upon providing accurate advice, even when it meant no income for you. When you did help us close stores, it was done properly without harming our other businesses. I would be pleased to add my name to the growing list of retailers, suppliers and industry executives that recognize the differences between the services of Deere Park and any other consulting organization.”

Sammer Saini, President, Shamrock Home Furnishings

“ Your activities regarding our two stores in Houston, Texas were accomplished with the highest degree of professionalism and expertise, and the results of this project exceeded my most optimistic projections. You have established an excellent working relationship with the nation’s manufacturers and credit sources and you were able to use those contacts for our benefit. I understand why Furniture Today consistently calls Deere Park Associates, ‘best in the industry’.”

George McDaniel, President, St.James Furniture

“ Granite Furniture conducted two years of extensive research to identify a company that we could work with to preserve and protect our outstanding reputation, develop a successful long-term business strategy, and conduct an event that produced the results we needed. Before choosing Deere Park Associates, we interviewed and researched practically every consultant providing services to the furniture industry. After experiencing your services, we now understand why you and Deere Park maintain the reputation as the ‘best in the industry’.”

John & Roger Richards , Vice-Presidents, Granite Furniture

“ “I want to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for the efforts of Deere Park Associates in the recent orderly liquidation of furniture inventory that was conducted for a Bank customer. I have been involved in collateral liquidations for over 20 years, and I can unequivocally say that the net return on this inventory was substantially higher than would have been obtained through any other liquidation method.”

David G. Moore, Senior Vice President and Manager, Special Assets Department, Local Oklahoma Bank

“ “Drexel Heritage and several of our retail dealers have used the services of Deere Park Associates. We have experienced a very professional relationship with the high degree of integrity and excellent reporting of business results on a weekly basis. Your firm has represented both our dealers and Drexel in a first class manner while achieving desired results.”

R. Bruce Nelson, Former Director of Credit
