Dear Rod Firstly, I would like to take this chance to once again thank you for the wonderful job you and your staff did selling our Pedders store. It has been a pleasure to have signed up with you and have your company sell our business. Your professionalism and outright hard work were without a doubt the best. If it was not for you I believe we would still be for sale! As you know we had a difficult time in stages of the sale, but you just kept smiling, putting one step in front of the other and made things happen. The reassuring phone calls and the constant personal contact were second to none. It is nice to have dealt with the man behind the name and your personal service really sets you and your business apart from all others. I have recently recommended, without hesitation, your excellent service to another two workshops who are considering selling. Furthermore, I will not hesitate to suggest you are the right man for the job if anyone asks. Many thanks again and I will call in and say Hi next time I am on the Sunshine Coast. Steve Knox "Pedders Suspension"
Dear Allan...I have thought long and hard and if it is wise to write you a letter of appreciation for the work you have put in selling our business. First you know is the barrier of language, as a bloody foreigner you can't express yourself properly and second will it be good or more harmful for the person concerned. Having had experience with another broker before, there was quite a difference when we first met in your office. You and Rod asked questions, and told me things I didn't want to hear and you both didn't agree with what I wanted. So I asked myself...what the hell are these guys up to? You kept us well informed all the time and everything was running smoothly behind the scenes. It took a while to get a contract and you had to put in a lot of work to satisfy the potential buyer conditions. It was disappointing when the contract fell apart, because you had done a great job so far and we had to start from scratch. You always said our business will be hard to sell, but you never gave me the impression it would be impossible - only hard. And you went the hard yards and then here was the next contract. This time it happened quickly and with no problems. And believe me, when the cheque for your company was due I thought..Allan deserves it. He is a great bloke and an honest representative of his profession. SELLING A BUSINESS? Yes I definitely will recommend Savvy Business Sales to my dearest friend. Rolf Weigand - IGA Express Who would advertise a multi million dollar business for sale with a picture of lettuce stuffed into the mouth of a pretty young lady ? Savvy Business Brokers did and achieved instant success which resulted in a contract just 8 days after listing our business. Rod took us out of our comfort zone and frightened us to death with his marketing campaign, however we enjoyed every minute of it and can't wait to do it again. You can be assured that Rod will present your business to the market diligently and professionally whilst acheiving an optimum price for your business. From our personal experience Rod never loses sight of the objective ensuring all prospective buyers are qualified and that your business remains in safe hands throuhout the process. We have no hesitation in recommending Savvy business brokers to any prospective buyer or seller and offer Rod and his team the highest commendation. Thanks a million on a job well done. Gary & Susan "Norris Coastline Produce " Recently I made the torturous decision to sell my business, Black Swan Security. I had nurtured it from nothing to having a turnover of $2.3 million + in 2007. The hardest part was making the decision to actually sell, that decision was made a lot easier by the professional approach of Allan Burt from Savvy Business Sales. I went with Savvy Business Sales as the professional way in which they marketed and presented businesses for sale was seconded to none. After initial discussions, I provided Allan with accountants figures and we sat down and set a price that Savvy Business Sales felt was realistic and that I was happy with. Within a few days of listing I was having meetings with genuine prospective buyers. Allan kept me informed during the entire process as it went along. The feedback and updates continued until my business settled. The sale proceeded with the usual finance, licensing and lease issues which came from left field however due to Allan’s professional attitude and experience these were addressed and overcome, and my business settled with relative ease. The whole process took nine weeks and with an industry like mine and the minefields associated this in itself was an incredible effort on behalf of Allan and Savvy Businesses Sales. I would highly recommend Allan Burt and the Savvy Team to you. Ken Moses - " BlackSwan Security" Allan....Darren and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all the hard work you put into selling our business for us. All the other Real Estates that had our business for sale (for the past 2 years) couldn't achieve what you and Savvy Business Sales were able to do in just 4 weeks. We would gladly recommend Allan Burt from Savvy Business Sales to anyone we know that is trying to sell or thinking of selling their business. Allan was honestly a great businessman who understood our needs and was able to get us the price that we wanted, with the least amount of hassle and stress which is vital while still being able to run a successful business and selling at the same time. THANK YOU!! Maria and Darren Chapman (former owners of Hunger Buster Cafe)
Allan, We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the professional way in which you represented your organization and conducted yourself with us in the sale of our Air-Conditioning company on the Sunshine Coast. We believe your professionalism and attention to detail added to the sale and from start to finish, your supportive skills and attributes really helped us to get through the whole process. We thank you again and look forward to recommending your services to others we will meet in the future. Julian & Marge Wayne "Coolum Air-Conditioning" "When I decided to sell House in Maroochydore at Sunshine Plaza, I had no hesitation in placing the business with Rod Russell at Savvy Business Sales. Rod has an excellent understanding of the retail industry and particularly businesses at Sunshine Plaza. He also understands the complexities of working with Centre Management, landlords and franchisors to bring about a sale. Further, Rod is enthusiastic, enterprising and skilful in dealing with potential buyers. In my opinion, Rod was the best qualified to handle the sale. I found dealing with Savvy to be friendly and professional. They put together an excellent sales dossier for interested parties and kept me well informed in terms of the level of enquiry generated. The service provided by Rod and his team met my expectations completely. I have no hesitation in recommending Savvy Business sales to anyone interested in selling their business. " Jon Liddicoat "House in Maroochydore" Allan, Congratulations on selling our business. Your enthusiasm, professionalism & honesty was there throughout the whole process, and was definitely the difference between us selling or not. We were very impressed with the regular communications and constant feedback either by phone or online which is very important when selling. We really appreciated it due to our previous experience with another firm. We would recommend you to anyone looking at selling their business. Dave & Diane Graves " Ex-Caloundra Security Screens & Blinds" "I had a great result through a previous deal with Rod Russell, so I didn't hesitate to employ him again this time. Rod's attention to detail and communication skills are exemplary. He is a true professional and is without question at the top of his game." Murray Schlecht "The Wholesaler"
"Thank you Rod for helping us in finding our new business venture. Our criteria was difficult yet you found a perfect match. Your service and communication was outstanding and the settlement took place as planned due to your commitment. So, once again thank you Rod for finding our dream business." Stuart & Sue Parke "Nusa Style"
"Rod's knowledge of the restaurant industry is comprehensive. It's rare to find such an honest business broker that will only talk facts. He understands all aspects of the industry and knows what's required to be successful" Michael Colosimo "Coast Casual Dining"
"We had looked at dozens of businesses over approx 6 months and had spoken to most of the local agents. Rod Russell inroduced us to 3 or 4 businesses, he was never pushy, yet always very precise with the infomation and facts provided. Rod's patience paid off when he found our dream business, the transaction went silky smooth and we are now have the perfect coast lifestyle. I highly recommend Rod to any buyer." Stef & Kaye Jackowski "Atlas Tanks"
"Our family have bought and sold several businesses on the Sunshine Coast, three of those transactions were handled by Rod Russell. Rod had never let us down and that trait continued when he recently introduced us to our new Mooloolaba Restaurant. Once again things went smoothly allowing us to concentrate on what was required to operate the business. Four down and many more to go! Thanks Rod." Kathy & Amos Lavy "Cassablanca Restaurant"
"I purchased Baskin Robbins Mooloolaba through Rod Russell. I was surprised with the amount of work involved when buying a franchise. Fortunately Rod had an intimate knowledge of what was required and settlement was achieved without delay. My circumstances recently changed so I called upon Rod again for his professionalism. He achieved a sale in no time and again all went to plan." Chris Hollingsworth "Baskin Robbins" We have recently sold our business “Clicks Office Solutions” through Savvy Business Sales. Nigel identified the market, set the marketing plan and construction of the whole strategy was of a very high standard. Buyers who have over $1million to invest in a business need to have extensive information available and this is where Nigel came to the fore with his attention to detail in the preparation of the buyer information file. This led to finding a suitable purchaser who we felt was both befitting and capable of continuing the running of the business successfully. We were amazed how much feeling and emotions were attached to our business which Nigel both recognized and adapted to. It is for these reasons that we endorse Nigel Skinner to anyone considering selling their business, you will not be disappointed.
