Marissa & Johnny Galvez are more than business brokers — they are a husband-and-wife team whose combined expertise creates an unmatched advantage for their clients. Marissa brings years of high-level experience in healthcare administration and entrepreneurship, backed by a Bachelor of Science in Health Entrepreneurship and Innovation from Arizona State University. Known for her precision and deal-structuring skills, she ensures that every transaction is clear, strategic, and future-proof. Johnny, a licensed business broker, leverages his investigative expertise from managing multi-million-dollar insurance claims and pairs it with a marketer’s instinct for positioning businesses to maximize value. Fluent in both English and Spanish, he opens doors to a wider pool of buyers and negotiates from a place of strength. Together, the Galvezes give every client what few teams can: the strategic rigor of an operator, the market power of a negotiator, and the personal dedication of entrepreneurs who understand the weight of every decision. Their mission is simple — deliver results that are both profitable and personal.

I am Roly Yazir Saldivar, a business broker with First Choice Business Brokers, and my mission is to help hardworking business owners exit with clarity, confidence, and the compensation they’ve earned. Before becoming a broker, I was an operator myself. I built and ran multiple restaurants, led teams, negotiated leases, handled marketing, payroll, vendors—you name it. I know what it’s like to stay up at night wondering if you’re doing the right thing, or if it’s finally time to move on. That experience shaped the way I serve my clients. I don’t just understand the numbers—I understand the weight behind them. When it’s time to sell your business, you don’t need fluff or empty promises. You need someone who speaks your language, protects your confidentiality, brings real buyers to the table, and helps you navigate the entire process from start to finish. That’s exactly what I do. I specialize in small to mid-sized businesses, typically generating between $300K and $3M in revenue. I’ve successfully worked with restaurant owners, bar owners, daycare centers, medical transportation companies, service-based businesses, and others. Here’s what you can expect working with me: • Full confidentiality and respect from day one • An operator’s mindset with a broker’s strategy • Real talk—no pressure, no fluff • Help getting your financials in order • High-quality buyer screening and marketing • Guidance through due diligence and negotiations • A deal structure that makes sense for you and your legacy Most brokers focus on closing. I focus on you—your peace of mind, your goals, and your next chapter. If you’re starting to think about selling—even if it’s a year from now—reach out. There’s no pressure. Just an honest, professional conversation from someone who’s been on both sides. Let’s talk when you’re ready.
