Feedback From Clients

Why you should hire our liquor store brokerage.

Throughout the process Dan was thoughtful, respectful, and a great sounding board. He help negotiate a great deal and had a buyer for our chain of Three stores very quickly. At the end of the process there is no doubt in my mind why he put the word “advisor” in his businesses name.

After owning my retail wine shop for 30 years, I was ready to retire but apprehensive about the daunting task of selling it. Within days of contacting Dan, he represented my business to prospective buyers and brought me 2 great offers.

Dan is very calming and can get you from point A to point B - he knows how to deal with both sides and can get a deal across the finish line. At First I was hesitant about fees however, in the end, I wanted to give the team a bonus because of their great work!
