TESTIMONIALS

What others are saying

"You made the sale of our business virtually seamless..."

We wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your professionalism and great attention in selling our business. You made the sale of our business virtually seamless for both the buyer and seller. The buyers were able to obtain a great business that will continue to be a staple in Charlotte County for years to come. Hallmark Business Brokers works with only qualified buyers. They were able to find a great family that wanted to live the Floridian lifestyle and escape the cold winters of the north. I can’t thank you enough for the great transaction.

"I would highly recommend Hallmark Business Brokers..."

The experience I had with Hallmark business brokers was exceptional. I found Mark to be highly professional yet, personable. Accommodating and tenacious, Mark found a great match for even my unique business. I found the level of service to be great…when I felt overwhelmed by the process of selling , Mark took over directing the process with small step , making the processes manageable and conquerable!! I would highly recommend Hallmark business brokers to anyone considering buying or selling a business.

"I would not hesitate to recommend Hallmark Business Brokers..."

I am writing to thank you for your high level of professionalism in representing our Business, Bella Luna Café. From the time we listed Bella on August 19, 2012 you were committed to getting it sold by working long hours and always being available to answer any questions that arose along the way. Because of your honesty and integrity, I would not hesitate to recommend Hallmark Business Brokers to any of my Business peers.
