Geri and her team are consistently on top of the permit requirement process. They understand the needs of our client and work to achieve the desired results. I never have to follow-up with Geri; I know that everything that can be done is being done.

Gregg Simon

Logistics Analyst, ZMac Transportation

Geri has been a tremendous help to my firm. Our clients wanted to venture out into California for some projects and we needed some help navigating the process. As soon as we acquired her services, Geri stepped right in and immediately got to work. We had lots of questions since these were our first projects, and she answered them promptly. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable. I can’t imagine getting all of this done without her help. I highly recommend this company. If you want the job done right, contact Fast Trak Permit Service.

Techina Jacques

Geri has expedited several Apple stores for us and has managed to obtain over-the-counter reviews and recheck appointments. When over-the-counter reviews were not possible, she was able to expedite the review process due to her established relationships with the city staff, and enable us to pull our permits meeting some pretty tight deadlines.
I highly recommend using Fast Trak Permit Service!
