See what our clients say about us
“[REAG] absolutely, without debate, worked in our best interest, solved problems (most of the time before they came about) and did whatever was needed to get us the best possible deal both short and long term.”
Fuzion Technologies, Inc.
“When I went to sell my business, I was on the fence about hiring a broker. I thought I could probably handle it myself. I was a capable businessman. How hard could it really be? In the end I relented and interviewed multiple brokers and REAG stood out from the crowd. I quickly learned I was wrong about handling the transaction myself. The complexity of the transaction from writing a CIM, to financials, to marketing and more would have been too much for me to handle on my own. I am grateful to REAG for gently encouraging me to use their services for my own sake. Without them, I would have failed miserably. The team was amazing and took care of everything I needed.”
A Christmas Story House & Museum
“Every part of the 8-month process to sell my business was purposely motivated, diligent, detail oriented, and considerate of all of my business skills and requirements. [REAG] exuded the confidence I needed from our first meeting, and never let up until the deal was successfully done.”
