Thank you so much." - Hratch Odabashian (Bash Auto Repair)

"I reached out to James while contemplating the sale of our business.  James was so thoughtful, helpful, and so very knowledgeable about the whole process.  He is so very prepared and understands all that is needed for these most complicated transactions.  In the end, we decided to not sell, however, James did have buyers lined up for us in record time.  I look forward to working with James in the future.  I would give him 10 stars." - Maharba W.
