Expertise I am happy to answer questions about Small Business Sales i.e. Small businesses with Gross Sales in the 250K to 50 million dollar range. The business must be privately or closely held(no publicly traded companies).
Experience Why me? I am a full time business broker with a 14-year history in real estate in New York and Florida. I taught the New York State Licensing course for 2 1/2 years. I am the winner of VRs’ Prestigious Bronze Award for 2006, and a major reason my office won the Centurian Award in 2006. After just seven months in this office, I closed the deal that resulted in the largest single commission in our offices’ history, a record that stood for over 1 full year. I am an instructor for the Small Business Development Administration, teaching a course I designed and created called "How to Buy a Business". I am a Certified Networker and have won the Notable Networker Award three times in one year. I am also an instructor for the Referral Institute, teaching the Referral Pipeline course. In 2006, I was nominated to the Presidents' Business Advisory Council on Small Business. Most importantly, I have amassed a large database of recognized professionals that can facilitate your transaction.
Organizations The Referral Institute, Business Networking International, International Business Brokers Assoc., German American Business Council,
Publications Small Business Development Corp. and various private newsletters.
