Broker Biography
Introduction
As a business broker with over 15 years of experience as a management professional and business owner, I am deeply committed to serving my clients' best interests. Unlike traditional real estate agents, my expertise lies in accurately assessing the true market value of businesses and artfully articulating their unique strengths to potential buyers.
Fiduciary duty is of the utmost importance to me. I always put my clients' needs first, providing honest, transparent guidance throughout the business sale process. My empathy for business owners and my genuine desire to help them achieve their goals were pivotal in my decision to become a business broker. I understand the emotional and financial stakes involved, and I work tirelessly to ensure my clients maximize the proceeds from the sale of their life's work.
Staying at the forefront of relevant laws, regulations, and industry trends, I continually educate myself to better serve my clients. When challenges arise, I employ creative problem-solving to overcome obstacles and keep deals moving forward. I make myself available beyond standard business hours, going above and beyond to get deals closed and help my clients meet their timelines, target sales prices, and confidentiality requirements.
Drawing on an extensive network of industry professionals and buyer pool, I can help prepare businesses for sale, connect them with qualified buyers, and provide funding solutions when needed. Whether a client is looking to retire, pursue a new venture, or transition their company to the next generation, I am committed to finding the perfect match and negotiating the most favorable terms.
