“Sold our 3-truck Bergen County HVAC business in 7 months. Closed above the comparable benchmarks Steven showed us. The $0 upfront retainer alignment matters — every other broker we interviewed wanted $10K-$20K up front.”
“Sold our restaurant + PRC liquor license in 6 months. The liquor license valuation alone was 30% higher than what our previous broker quoted. Steven knew the NJ ABC transfer process cold.”
“Specialty medical practice closed in 9 months with a PE-backed strategic. Rollover equity structure worked out exactly as Steven projected. Healthcare specialty knowledge was the differentiator versus the generic brokers we spoke with first.”
“Pepperidge Farm route. Sold to a search funder in 4 months. Seller financing structure was 12% with a 5-year term. Steven walked us through three different buyers and we picked the one with the best operator profile, not the highest price.”
“Auto body shop with three DRP carrier agreements. SBA 504 + 7(a) financed buyer. 8 months total. Steven helped negotiate the carrier-agreement assignment language — that single clause was worth $100K to us.”
“Card-op laundromat with 12-year lease. Semi-absentee buyer (NYC commuter). SBA 7(a) financed. 5 months from listing to close. Honest about expectations from day one — never oversold us on aspirational valuations.”
“We interviewed four brokers. Steven was the only one who told us to wait 14 months before listing because of our lease term. He turned down our engagement at the time. We did the work, came back, and got 35% more than the other brokers had quoted us. That's the broker you want.”
“Dental practice acquisition mandate (buy side). Steven sourced three qualified targets in 6 months. We acquired the best fit at a 5.5× EBITDA multiple. The buy-side mandate structure with creditable retainer was the most aligned engagement we've worked under.”
“NJ pharmacy independent. Steven correctly normalized our DIR fee exposure and got us a 1-turn higher multiple than the first broker who tried to value us. 8 months to close. Chain acquirer purchased the file, we retained the building for sale-leaseback.”
“Cleaning business with $2M revenue, $400K SDE. Steven structured the deal as 65% cash, 25% rollover equity into the buyer's MSO, 10% earnout. Total consideration 22% higher than the all-cash offer we initially had. The rollover equity has already grown 30% in 6 months post-close.”
“Closed an Article 31 / MHOTRS clinic platform sale — 3 sites, $8M revenue. PHHPC and OMH approval coordinated in 7 months. Multiple expansion from 5× to 8.5× EBITDA driven by the CCBHC application pipeline Steven helped us position. Multi-million-dollar swing.”
“Searched for the right broker for 4 months. Steven was the only one who asked to see 3 years of financials before quoting anything. The others all quoted ranges blind. We listed with Nexus Bridge and closed 9 months later. Trust the broker who asks the most questions.”
Most brokerages publish named client testimonials with photos. We don't. Here's why:
Transaction confidentiality is part of the value we deliver. Our sellers often don't want public association with a recent business sale — not because the sale went badly, but because they're moving to a new venture, have family privacy concerns, or have signed non-disclosure provisions in the purchase agreement. Publishing their name post-close erodes that trust.
Our reviews above are anonymized but verifiable. We can provide named references to qualified prospective clients on request, after an initial discovery call where both parties have confirmed mutual interest. Reference clients are screened and consenting; we never share contact details without explicit prior permission.
