It’s no secret that there are a lot of business brokers out there. Knowing that, it can be a challenge to decide which one is the right fit for you and your sale. So how do you choose yours? Read on to gain some insight on what you should look for so you can have the best outcome.

Your Automotive Business Broker

There are numerous qualities to think about when choosing your business broker. A good broker should know the industry well, bring brokerage experience to a sale process, and know how to preserve your company’s privacy. When choosing your broker, you want to make sure they have a solid track record – and you also want to make sure they’re aligned with the goals and expectations of your business.

Here are some other things to consider when you’re choosing your broker:

Solid credentials. Experience counts when it comes to business brokers. You want a broker with a solid resume. They should have a history of successful business sales in the automotive industry. If they don’t, they may not have the right connections or information it takes to truly and accurately represent your business.
Commitment and interest. Your broker should take time to get to know you. Without information, it’s impossible for your broker to negotiate a deal that aligns with both your financial and non-financial outcomes. That’s why it’s imperative that your broker takes the time to get to know you and your business goals.
You should know how much is on your broker’s plate. While you don’t need to know specifics, it’s good to know that if your broker is currently representing only a few listings, it could be a sign that they aren’t experienced or motivated. On the other side, if they’re representing too many listings, they might not have time to give your sale enough attention. Finding a broker who has a balanced workload is key to the success of your sale.
Proven trust. The most important thing is that you’re able to trust your business broker. The relationship you have is more than a business arrangement – it’s a partnership that will ultimately help you get to your sale goals.

Mike has been instrumental in helping me successfully complete 4 transactions (both buying and selling) over the last 15 years. His expertise in getting deals done is second to none.

Over my over fifty year career, I have had the privilege of working with many other brokers, but I have to say that I have not worked with a more professional and diligent person. Joe handled every aspect and obstacle that presented itself throughout the sales process as a consummate professional.

Jason was a huge help with my transaction! As a first time buyer, I had a lot of extra questions and concerns and Jason was fantastic in answering my questions as well as explaining everything in detail. On top of that, he communicated everything in an effective manner and I never once felt like I was in the dark. I will only use Jason for everything transaction moving forward and would recommend him to anyone looking to get into the automotive business.
