Working with Helm throughout our industrial real estate site selection and transaction process was an excellent experience. Finding PDR industrial space in Washington, DC is notoriously difficult due to limited inventory and intense competition, and Helm had a clear command of the market from the start.
Beyond their expertise, what stood out most was the relationship. The team took the time to understand our needs, stayed highly responsive, and guided us through every step of the process with clarity and confidence. All of our questions were answered promptly, and the deal moved forward quickly and efficiently despite the complexity of the market.
Helm made a challenging process feel manageable. I would highly recommend them to anyone navigating the industrial real estate market in DC.

Jerome and Allen went above and beyond in helping us secure our first brick and mortar location. From our first introductory call all the way through lease signing and beyond, they were there for us. Their combined knowledge of their industry was very reassuring when helping us navigate what was, for us, uncharted territory. I look forward to working with them again in the future.

[HELM was] great. They talked us though all our decisions, and supported us. They advocated for our needs in looking for a place, and didn't pressure us with anything. They were great partners in our search for our next space.

“Jerome and Allen supported us in securing & starting our first brick and mortar project. They are extremely knowledgeable about the CRE industry, caring, and will go the extra mile in ensuring successful outcomes. Thanks HV!”

I cannot speak more highly of Jerome and Helm Ventures. From day one he prioritized what I wanted - not what he thought would be best for me. He listens to his clients and then looks to provide options that satisfies their needs, not his. What can sometimes be a very overwhelming process of finding the right office space was made painless and efficient. Beyond that, I found Jerome to be incredibly responsive (a huge plus for me) and willing to do whatever it takes to get the right deal done. Highly recommend. I would use Jerome again in a heartbeat and have already referred him to a colleague.

These guys really know their stuff they have a good hold on the locations in the DMV area

“Finding the right space for our architecture firm was not an easy task, but Jerome provided the energy, guidance and determination to get us to the finish line. He found us a high quality space that will enhance the image of our firm and help us grow into the next decade. Jerome coordinated with the landlord team, lawyers, landlord's architects and construction team to help us secure and build a cost-effective, yet modern and collaborative work environment. His determination, broad skill-set and honesty makes him an asset to any business looking to secure the best office space in the city. I definitely recommend him and would retain him again should the need happen.”

“Jerome Raymond is an extremely hard working and competent broker. As the owner of a small business in an emerging industry (dog daycare and boarding), I was impressed by Jerome's ability to explain the use to initially skeptical landlords and developers. He orchestrated a professional pitch expertly crafted for our particular audience, and was with me every step of the way. Our leases have been fair, and, if anything, tenant friendly, with Jerome winning us generous allotments in TI. Perhaps more importantly, Jerome is honest and will give pushback when he feels it is necessary. This proved very beneficial to us in retrospect. I would highly recommend him as a commercial broker, and plan on using him in this role for future expansions with Atlas Doghouse.”
