What other people are saying about Mike Emmert

William Jessup University, Rocklin, CA
"When we were looking for property to relocate our college, we found a former manufacturing plant owned by Herman Miller Office Furniture. Mike led us through the negotiations with Herman Miller, the due diligence and entitlement issues with Placer County and the city of Rocklin, and secured our use permit for the facilities. In fact, his work was done so well that we received approvals from the planning commission in just fourteen minutes—a modern day miracle!

I highly recommend Mike Emmert. He will do everything he says he will do and more. He puts his heart into his work, for it is his calling and ministry in building the Kingdom of God."

--Dr. Bryce Jessup
--President, William Jessup University, Rocklin, CA



Eastside Christian Church, Milford, OH
"Mike's years of experience in the corporate field gave us the advantage we were looking for in seeking to relocate our church family.

Mike worked with the civil engineer, architect, general contractor, and government officials to ensure we made the right moves at the right time. Mike's assistance during this stage alone saved us tens of thousands of dollars.

As a result of the transition and relocation, our church grew from 200 people in weekly attendance in 1999 to 1350 in 2004. We could not have done this without Mike's giftedness and guidance."

--Will Mullins,
--Former Executive Pastor, Eastside Christian Church, Milford, OH


"Mike and I first worked together to help a church acquire a multi-screen theater complex for use as an education and worship facility. Because Mike was proactive from the very first minute of the transaction, we were able to anticipate and resolve a host of issues before closing. Mike led skillful negotiations with an inflexible seller, provided steady guidance of the development process, and ensured careful protection of all parties. Each subsequent transaction that Mike and I have handled together has been marked with the same quality approach.

Not only was I proud to work with Mike in each instance, but I also grew as a professional watching his skilled handling of the entire project."

"Our church's relationship with you, and our personal relationship, has served as a constant reminder that we were not alone through a daunting building project. We are grateful to God and to you for partnering with us in this great spiritual adventure. Your servant's heart has touched our church and we feel we have gained a lifetime friend."

--Dr. Donald E. Ross
