Yankee Mattress Company was the culmination of so many hopes and dreams—my life’s work. I needed a buyer who understood that and a broker who would take the time to find that buyer. Ron (Ekstrom) proved to me that he understood what I was looking for. He took the time to walk me through the process and the expected valuation. He asked me hard questions that prepared me for due diligence, and he took great care in explaining the details of the different offers, as well as providing his honest assessment of the pros and cons of each….Ron’s willingness to roll up his sleeves and get into the details of numbers, timelines, and assets made an enormous difference. The due diligence process was very thorough, and having a broker who truly understood the nature of the business was more important than I even expected.
Doug Pendleton successfully brokered the sale of my 25-person machine products manufacturing company in Acton, Massachusetts. My relationship with Doug began after having numerous, unfruitful dealings with other brokers over the course of several years. Working with Doug was completely different from past experiences, in a very positive and refreshing way… In what can be an overwhelming ans stressful process, he was masterful at keeping me focused, grounded and sane. I highly recommend Doug Pendleton and encourage you to seriously consider working with him.
I am writing to thank you for the wonderful job you did selling my business. Ed Roach was true professional through the complete process. Ed researched what we did as a company and marketed the business in a way that drew a quick response. Ed also protected vital company information until he has a firm commitment for the purchaser. Ed guided us with the whole process until the sale was complete.
