Why sell to me
Legacy, commitment, respect
In addition to offering competitive terms, I care deeply about maintaining a seller's legacy – for all parties involved.Extending that legacy into the next generation is the best way to create a win/win/win – for customers to continue enjoying a great product/service, employees to have fulfilling jobs, and owners to be fully content with their decision.While financials are important, any business I step into must be grounded in integrity and earnestness – it's on that foundation that a seller & I can build the rapport required to complete the transition.
