A Message from Greg…
Hello:
Happy New Year! As we step into the new year, we’re proud to reflect on an exceptional 2025—one of the most successful years our office has had since our founding in 2000.
This success is a direct result of the trust and partnership of our incredible community: our SBA lenders, CPAs, financial advisors, commercial real estate attorneys, insurance partners, and most importantly, the sellers and buyers who entrusted us with such meaningful transitions. It’s a privilege to help business owners exit successfully while ensuring their businesses continue to thrive in the community under new ownership.
We’re also excited about the continued growth of our firm, including the addition of Philippe to our team (see new agent profile), and our ongoing leadership within the profession, highlighted by my role as incoming President of the California Association of Business Brokers.
Thank you for an outstanding year and for being part of our success. We look forward to building on this momentum together in the year ahead.
Best,
~ Greg
