Rod RussellRod Russell
Rod is without question the Sunshine Coast's most experienced Business Broker. Since moving here in 1995, Rod has been involved in hundreds of business sales worth well in excess of $60 million. Over recent years Rod has found a niche in the market specialising in medium to large business sales. He has been involved in some of the largest sales ever achieved on the Coast and is often called upon by Accountants and Solicitors throughout Queensland to value businesses and to assist their clients. "I don't mince my words for anyone" says Rod, "Some people don't like to hear the truth, but they'll get it with me every time. I'm a firm believer in being up front from the start. I would prefer to under promise and over deliver, rather than have to do a back flip". So, the secret to Rod's success? "I absolutely love what I do. I have been involved in sales since I was 18, but never have I been in a situation where I love going to work so much each day. At the end of the day I feel that I'm fortunate to be able to help so many people achieve their dreams. It may be that the sellers are finally retiring after a lifetime of hard work, or it could be the satisfaction of seeing first time business owners set out to make their mark on life."
