We have completed one acquisition with John in the broker seat and are already looking forward to our next project with him. John was incredibly responsive throughout the acquisition, creating a seamless process that ensured a swift closing. His transaction experience was also evident as he was adept at managing all parties involved. He is now a preferred broker for us and our ‘first stop’ when searching for opportunities on the market!
“…..when it came time to purchase a business in 2020, I knew without a doubt, I would turn to John. Funny thing is – the person I purchased my next business from had the same experience and had used John to purchase and sell their business and spoke very highly of John. At this point John is not just my broker but a trusted friend!” Joey Brown, Jacksonville Beach, FL
