"I work with business owners who are thinking about selling, retiring, stepping back, transitioning, or simply trying to understand what their business may be worth."
Before a business is introduced to buyers, there are important questions to work through: value, timing, confidentiality, buyer readiness, financing, financial presentation, advisor coordination, and what may need to be prepared before the business goes to market.
I look at the whole picture, the owner, the numbers, the buyer's point of view, the financing reality, the timing, the story behind the business, and the reputation you worked hard to build.
30+ Years of Deal Experience
With more than 30 years of experience across real estate, mortgage, and financing, I bring a practical lens to business brokerage. I also hold the Certified Negotiation Expert designation, which supports the way I approach offers, buyer conversations, terms, and deal structure.
My goal is to help you feel informed, protected, and supported before you make a major decision. Whether you plan to sell immediately or are preparing a 2-year exit horizon, having an experienced partner ensures every step is executed with precision.

- Uncompromising Confidentiality: Strict buyer vetting and non-disclosure protocols to safeguard your business identity.
