Testimonials

"I wanted to take the time and say how very appreciative I am of Allen’s time and effort in selling these stores."
"This review is in regards to Allen Cox, the gentleman who assisted me with selling my two Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory stores in Sonoma County. He was very knowledgeable, and explained some of the laws and regulations in simple language for me to understand. We had to adapt and overcome a lot of obstacles together, and along the way I really got to know him as a person. Not only is he good at what he does, he is a great man outside of work too. Allen remained positive even when I did not, and his phrase “keep the faith” kept things going for us!"

Mike Nova, thank you for a job well done!!
When I reached out to Mike Nova about brokering the sale of my business, I didn’t know what to expect. In short order, you made me feel comfortable with the entire process. Your approach is to put your client’s needs and feelings first. I immediately felt like I had a partner in the sale that cared about the outcome as much as I did. At each step you rolled up your sleeves and dove into the details of selling my business. You even spent days converting my paper financial statements into Excel spreadsheets. I can’t thank you enough for all your hard work. It was nice knowing that you were just a phone call away!
Vince Ippolito, Owner - Toscalito Tire & Auto
"Jeff made the entire process a breeze and worked well with us from start to finish."
"We were thoroughly impressed after working with Jeff Sacher from Santa Rosa Business and Commercial Real Estate. We purchased an existing business for our fourth location with Jeff and he made sure every aspect of the sale was clearly explained and all our questions were answered. Also, he helped us through all of the steps with the ABC to obtain our Beer and Wine license. He was very knowledgeable and knew the ins and outs of the ABC license process including which of the many forms we would need to fill out. We would definitely recommend his services and will be using him in the future."
Drew Peletz - CEO, Mombo's Pizza
"We recommend Ryn for anyone looking for help with restaurant real estate and liquor license sales."
"We first met Ryn when she worked with Tom Barnett at Santa Rosa Realty and we got to know her a bit better when she would have us guest speak in her classes at the Culinary Institute of America in St. Helena. After Tom passed, Ryn stepped in to work with us and her assistance has been indispensable. She has helped us negotiate and secure several restaurant leases as well as purchase and transfer several ABC liquor licenses. We find Ryn to be extremely trustworthy, knowledgeable and diligent. We recommend Ryn for anyone looking for help with restaurant real estate and liquor license sales."
Mark and Terri Stark - Owners, Reality Restaurants
"Working with Jo Tucker and SRBC exceeded my expectations in a number of ways."
"Having never sold a business before, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I thought it would take many months. It ended up being a week before I got several offers, and another few weeks later, the sale had actually closed. Not only did I get full asking price, but Jo located the ideal buyer which gave me the confidence that my clients were in good hands. Throughout the entire process, Jo was professional, prompt, responded quickly to questions and requests, and he kept the process moving. He educated me on each step and guided the sale through multiple processes of offers, escrow and closing. I cannot recommend him highly enough. A real pro!"
Tim Smith - Paradigm Marketing
"I just want to say thank you Allen for your wonderful help during the process of Buying my business."
"It was superb and easy, Allen was helpful during the entire purchase process. He was so helpful and the process went smoothly. Allen also provided advice when I needed it anytime and his advice helped a lot. I am so glad that I met Allen and that he helped me to Buy my business. I am still in contact with Allen just as a friend . Thank you so much Allen. I really appreciated your help!"
Akash Patel
"Huge shout out to Mike Nova who personally handled my very difficult to sell small business loaded with challenges."
"This was not a big ticket deal but you’d never know it the way took care of me. He was honest, resilient, dependable, approachable and highly skilled. I learned firsthand the best thing about Mike is that he cares more about the client than the commission. If you’re looking for a Business Broker, you simply need to give him call. I promise you’ll be glad you did."
Steve Paoli - Owner, La Q
"I had the pleasure of working with Jeff Sacher on our recent business purchase, and I cannot recommend him highly enough."
"From start to finish, Jeff demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and unwavering dedication. Jeff possesses an in-depth understanding of the business market and how to do business valuation. His insights were invaluable in helping us make informed decisions. Throughout the process, he was incredibly responsive. Whether it was a quick question or a detailed discussion, he always made time for us. Jeff's attention to detail was incredibly helpful. He left no stone unturned. From licensing and inspections to paperwork and negotiations, he meticulously handled every aspect of the transaction. Thanks to Jeff's extensive experience and efficient coordination, the closing process was seamless. I felt confident and well-supported throughout. Jeff is a trusted partner who genuinely cares about his clients. If you’re looking for a business real estate professional who goes above and beyond, look no further than Jeff Sacher. Thank you, Jeff, for making our business purchase journey a successful one!"
Greg Beckham - Owner, Rincon Valley Taproom
"We are so pleased with the job Ryn did selling our business."
"It took a tremendous amount of trust for us to hand over our beloved business, which we had nurtured and grew for over 17 years, to Ryn and she didn’t let us down! We counted on her experience and she laid out a plan and stuck to it. We were especially impressed by the professional and comprehensive way in which she sought to understand the business operations and then presented them to buyers. In the end, it was her expertise that brought all of the parts together for a successful transaction."
Catherine and Dion B., Sellers Flour Chylde Bakery, Novato
"Joseph Tucker is the most professional and diligent agent anyone could have the pleasure of doing business with!"
"When I was in the process of looking for and purchasing my business, Joseph was always able to answer any questions or make a referral to who I would need to speak with and what steps I needed to take to get my business up and running smoothly. If you ever need to facilitate a deal and secure a lease, make it a priority to work with him. No other agent will treat your business aspirations with the same regards as he will. Thanks again for all your hard work Joseph!"
Anthony Fenocchio
"I would recommend Jeff Sacher of Santa Rosa Business & Commercial to anyone."
"My wife and I worked with Jeff Sacher to purchase our restaurant. We sought out Jeff Sacher on the referral of my Chef and mentor who worked with Jeff on the purchase of two successful restaurants. This is the first business we have purchased. Jeff stayed in close communication with us for close to a year before the sale closed. He answered critical questions and provided sound advice, as we began completing all of the steps needed to purchase the restaurant. Jeff was very enthusiastic and encouraging during the whole process. Even after nearly a year of ownership, Jeff still stops by from time to time; for a business lunch with colleagues or just a solo seat at the bar for lunch."
Joel Shaw - Owner, J&M Midtown Cafe
"I think Mike Nova will go on to new heights of success because he does such a great job and clients like me can recommend him in the highest of terms."
"Dear Mike, I feel very lucky to have been able to connect with you during my search for an Broker who could handle the sale of Bolinas Bay Hardware & Mercantile. As I related to you before, the first person I interviewed suggested that we have an inventory sale and close the store. You were enthusiastic and confident that we could pass the store on to buyers who would appreciate Bolinas and the need for a hardware store. This gave me the hope and direction I needed to move forward. You competently guided me through the marketing process and collaborated on advertising, selling strategy and timelines. You were always available if I had questions and I really appreciate your efforts to check in almost every week, even during the quiet times. When we did find a buyer, you did an excellent job of informing him of procedures and paperwork he needed, plus helping him to understand the complicated finances of the business. He has told me on several occasions how happy he was with the process, our goodwill and the smooth negotiations. I credit you with much of that and think that you made the entire process so positive for everyone involved. Once we were in contract, the days seemed to fly by and the next thing I knew, the store changed hands. I always felt well represented by you and trusted your advice when it came to handling price negotiations and other contractual agreements. You were al so personable and supportive, particularly important to me during a difficult time with my husband’s health. Thank you for all your good work and making me feel as though I had a team behind me in the process of selling my business." I wish you well and hope that you continue to thrive in your real estate career.
Karen M. Dibblee - Bolinas Hardware & Mercantile
