Testimonials

Anders Bjork, owner of Dream Dinners :

Thank you for all your assistance, guidance, and patient support through this process.  While I initially struggled with "paying someone to help us sell the business"--especially since the ultimate buyer was an employee--I recognize that when we tried to do it on our own first, we failed!

First and foremost, your extensive knowledge of the process(es) involved in pricing, evaluating, and structuring the transaction was a huge benefit for both buyer and seller.  Having tried it once on my own, it is easy to see in retrospect where I would have done things differently now that I have seen your approach.

Second, you were extremely efficient in coordinating all the various puzzle pieces to fit everything together for a successful close.  I was grateful many times to know that you were working behind the scenes with all the various parties that are involved in the sale.

Finally--and to my pleasant surprise--I see that you provided an external/neutral perspective for the buyers as they went through the various emotional stages that are normal for a transaction like this.  I know that if you had not been involved, much of that shepherding would have fallen to me, and I know that I would not have been able to provide the excellent advice and guidance that you provided to our buyers.

Ultimately, the deal closed and that is what was important to us, and why we sought out the assistance of a broker to begin with.  When you and I first met, I recall that you mentioned to me that it takes an average of 6 months to sell a business.  I think that I told you we needed to beat the average, and as I count off the months here today, I realize that we did.  You are to be commended for running a smooth, ethical, and professional transaction.  I would not hesitate to recommend you to another seller or buyer.

Please keep in touch; I have enjoyed working with you and expect that our paths will cross professionally in the future.

Kind regards and gratitude.

Robin Smith, owner of Curves:

Words cannot express the gratitude Teresa and I have for the fantastic job you did in helping us acquire our business.  The process was painless for us.  I know you took the blows for us – and we appreciate it.

Good luck to you in the future.  If I know of anyone looking for a business broker, I will certainly pass your name on.

Teresa Anderson:

A big thank you from me.  I know I gave you a hard time every once in a while and you took it well.  Thank you so much for your patience and your willingness to teach us.  It was a wonderful experience working with you and I wish you the best.

Judy Ann Bagley, Vice-President/Escrow Supervisor, Grass Valley, California:

It was a pleasure doing business with you.  I found you to be thorough, prompt and professional.  I know your client was not an easy one and you handled it with finesse!

Kellye Baity, The Grout Doctor:

You were very responsive, quick to nip any trouble in the bud, and well worth the cost.  This was a long process.  But worth it because you found us the right buyer with the right motivation and professionalism we were looking for.

John and Roxanne Foti, Auburn, California:

Thank you so much for your patience and professionalism as you worked through the selling of our business.  This was an incredibly difficult and emotional transaction but you did it with class.  You picked up this file from another Agent and so we had no relationship with you, but you did all that we wanted and more.  We also understand how difficult it was working with the buyer’s agent but your professionalism allowed the transaction to continue and ultimately close.
