"Unlike most brokers I dealt with over the past two years, Matt proved to be very knowledgeable about all aspects of the company. He was able to conduct a tour of the facility without the owner present, providing detailed explanations of the manufacturing process and answering all questions. I was very impressed with his grasp of the company's market niche and potential for growth. Once I decided to make an offer, Matt followed thru working thru all the details from the Purchase Agreement to the closing of escrow. Matt set up a schedule and worked with the seller and I as well as the escrow company to meet all the milestones on a timely basis. He resolved issues quickly so that the sale went smoothly and closed on schedule. I would highly recommend him.,
