"We have very specific requirements in each of our facilities, and the cost to retrofit our buildings can be significant. The work you did on our behalf, bringing together a team of qualified contractors from every trade, helped us get realistic estimates before buying and hasten start-up once we'd made the purchase. This has been the easiest plant opening we've had, and we owe considerable thanks to you."

"As Mayor of the City of Cedar Rapids, it is my honor to support the nomination of Mr. Scott Olson of Skogman Commercial Real Estate for the 2003 Good Neighbor Award. Scott's passionate commitment to Cedar Rapids has a tremendous impact on our city.

Because of these leadership qualities, I asked Scott to chair my Development and Building Task Force created last year in Cedar Rapids. The goal of this ongoing task force is to standardize and simplify the development process in our city so we can all move forward together. This is yet another example of Scott's commitment to his community."

"Pickwick Manufacturing Services acquired the 51,000 sq.ft. former FMC Crane and Excavator Assembly Building and 20 acres in Cedar Rapids from Alliant Transportation Services in November of 1998 with the help of the Scott Olson Team.  In the process a potential "white elephant", instead became the premier custom heavy fabrication Facility in the Midwest.  Scott and Penny's depth of experience were invaluable to us throughout many months of sifting through alternative sites before the final purchase.  Their professionalism overcame all possible concern about buying a property directly form the listing realtor."   

-     Walt Corey, President
      Pickwick Manufacturing Services

-    Tom L. Aller, President

     Chairman

"Quite honestly, if it were not for Scott's involvement, Biaggi's would still be looking for a site in Cedar Rapids.  Scott managed to bring together the most complicated real estate transaction Biaggi's has ever been involved with.  He did a terrific job and we are certainly in his debt."
