"When I met Joanna Shawver we had dozens of restaurants in Texas and Oklahoma but very little presence in the Midwest. She’s proven herself to be a tremendous asset; with her help we’ve expanded the McAlister’s Deli brand across Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska.

She’s got all the qualities savvy retailers need in a tenant rep broker: deep market knowledge, extensive developer contacts, patience and a big-picture outlook. I recommend her without hesitation."
