Broker Biography

Introduction

Established in 1994, First Choice Business Brokers quickly grew to become one of the largest Business Sales Organizations in the U.S listing over $4 Billion in businesses for sale – thus giving Buyers and Sellers an extensive network of Business Brokers across the U.S. to assist in Buying or Selling a Business.

Tim Johnson has been in the business of buying and selling businesses for just about 30 years. His love of business began at the young age of 12 when he began his own company mowing lawns in his neighborhood so he could begin saving for college!

Many years later, having earned an MBA in Organizational Diagnosis from Regent University in Virginia Beach, Tim entered the world of corporate franchising and spent fifteen years helping small business owners buy, manage, and sell their franchises. Real-world, in-the-trenches experience helped him develop the fine art of evaluating and negotiating scores of business deals. In his “down time” Tim negotiated, purchased, successfully grew, and sold nearly a dozen businesses of his own . He has developed true insider understanding of the opportunities, intricacies, and challenges that come along with buying and selling businesses, and he knows how it feels to be both the buyer and the seller.

Having been through the process countless times, Tim has come to realize how important it is to have brokers that are trustworthy, knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient – the very traits that have made him successful over the past two decades.

Originally from the Green Mountains of New England, Tim has been happily settled with his family in the Chesapeake area for the past 20 years. In his spare time you might find him spending time with his amazing wife and three young kids, doing things with his church family, getting in a good workout, or camping – which lately includes a beast of a 30-foot travel trailer.
