See what our clients say about us
“Deal sourcing is critical to our business, and finding the right partner to augment internal efforts is vital. REAG demonstrated experience and success in generating leads. They took time to understand investment criteria and who we are to provide prospects insight. In doing so, they’ve become an extension of our team. Their knowledge, trustworthiness and proactive approach, especially through Jaclyn Ring, has significantly contributed to success in finding opportunities. In my 15 years at MCM, we’ve hired various organizations with varying success, but REAG’s strategic, knowledgeable approach makes them a highly recommended deal sourcing partner.”
