Mergers & Acquisitions
“This letter is to highly recommend the services of Michael Sieber from California Equity Group to anyone considering the sale or purchase of a business. Although we are experienced commercial real estate brokers ourselves, we felt for reasons of objectivity and arms-length negotiations that it was important to hire a qualified business broker/merger & acquisition specialist to handle the sale of our commercial real estate brokerage company.
As a large and very successful commercial real estate brokerage firm, we understood the dynamics of marketing and negotiating the sale of high-valued assets using creative deal structuring skills. As such, our expectations of Michael were extremely high and, frankly, he completely exceeded those expectations. Michael thoroughly investigated our firm and our company’s finances and assembled a thoughtful and remarkable marketing package to present to potential purchasers. He used great diligence and unflagging persistence in contacting and following up with prospective buyers for our company.
The sale of a service company such as ours is often a lengthy and complex adventure, and we were particularly pleased with Michael’s skills staying focused and enthusiastic when we found ourselves losing interest. He further encouraged us to hold at our listing price and eventually brought us a buyer group who with an earn-out provision paid us full price.
Another of Michael’s strong points is his continual communication with his clients and up-to-date progress reports on any leads and negotiations. Again, his penchant for following up those leads exceeded our expectations and he was similarly complemented by one of the potential buyer candidates.
We thoroughly enjoyed working with Michael and always found him to be hard working, fair and honorable. He truly is the preeminent business broker/merger & acquisition specialist in his field and we strongly recommend him and California Equity Group to anyone contemplating the sale or purchase of a business.”
