“Francis A. Wong is well known to Bill Marriott, Chairman of Marriott International, Inc. and has been for over twenty years. He is pictured with Mr. Marriott in his autobiography and the same picture recently featured in a Marriott ad is USA Today. During the past few years we have worked with him on a number of Marriott projects, including negotiations to purchase a regional hotel chain, the acquisition and conversion of an office building to a Marriott hotel in downtown San Francisco and responding to the RFP for the SanFrancisco Airport. It is without reservation that I recommend Mr. Wong as a knowledgeable and experienced real estate professional.”
