Client Testimonials
Wright Way Cleaning and Restoration
Case Study
Ryan was outstanding in helping sell my business, Wright Way Cleaning & Restoration, in Lynnwood, WA. In business for 15+ years, I had worked to build it to a size where I could benefit from selling it to a new owner. Ryan was one of four advisors / firms that I interviewed. I’m happy to say that he helped my wife and I successfully sell the business to a fantastic buyer. After working with Ryan for 6 months, I would emphasize the following advantages about partnering with him and Washington Business Brokers:
Enthusiasm, zeal, flexibility
He brought a level of raw energy and adaptability to move the process forward at key points. He answers his phone, day, and night, and was always responsive.
Quality of marketing effort & deliverables
Ryan produced compelling visuals and video that were used to market my business; these marketing materials helped attract buyers and, I believe, helped me obtain a higher price for the business than I thought possible
Process knowledge throughout transaction
He uses his background and experience as a CPA in preparing the valuation, confidently negotiating with buyers, and to navigate through issues as they arise
Did what he said
Ryan is detail oriented, organized, and follows through on promises
Persistence and perseverance
His tenacity was beneficial in keeping the process and stakeholders (including me) moving
