Helen represented the seller in a recent transaction where my company was the buyer. Helen was extremely thorough, responsive, and organized from the initial call all the way through the closing. The selling entity had 4 partners and Helen was able to juggle the often disparate goals of the partners to deliver a transaction to them. And though she was firm and direct when we were negotiating, I also felt that she was only advocating for her clients best interest and never digging in on positions just for the sake of winning a point. My company has completed 45 transactions in our 30 years in the business and I found this experience to be one of the best because of Helen. I would recommend her services to buyers and sellers alike.

We are very pleased with the service Helen provided in selling our business. We put our business on the market during the hard-hit COVID pandemic after more than twenty years of operation. There were many emotional and operational issues Helen guided us through. She is professional and diligent in representing us for our best interest.

When we decided to sell our school, we researched business brokers and lawyers. We were hoping we could find a buyer on our own and utilize a lawyer for the paperwork. We found out it’s a lot harder than that! After meeting Joan Young at Sunbelt Bay Area, we felt very comfortable starting out with having Joan doing a ‘valuation’ of our company. After getting that number, we had a couple people we knew of who were interested is purchasing the business but could not pay the price we had set.

I have had the great pleasure of working with Sunbelt Business Advisors as both a buyer and a seller and while it was Joan’s professional approach with a personal touch that ultimately led me to Sunbelt as a buyer, it was Joan’s core values that brought me back as a seller. Joan and her team of professionals take the extra time needed to get to know their clients on a professional and personal level which I believe is necessary when working collaboratively towards a common goal.

I recently sold my business through Sunbelt Business Brokers. A business associate, Chris Enright, knew I was planning to retire in the next couple of years. Chris was making a career change to become a business broker and approached me to see if I would be interested in signing up with the brokerage he had chosen to work with. I’ve known Chris and his family for a number of years and knew that if he said Sunbelt and Joan Young were reliable people, then I could trust them. Chris has proven himself to be honest and reliable throughout the years I have known him.
