Dan Sperry
With a leading approach to client service and a passion for results, Dan
has built his reputation on leading his buyers and sellers through the complex
lifecycle of a business acquisition. Dan recognizes the dynamic relationship
between current market conditions, emerging trends, and price. He uses this paradigm
to his advantage when negotiating. Understanding the factors that set price is
critical; this is the key to getting deals done.
Listening is his most important tool when working with purchasers. Staying focused
on what they are looking for and finding properties that fit their lifestyle,
budget, and tastes is one of his principal strengths. Even if a buyer has been
through the process before, their next experience will surely be different. He
works with each buyer closely assuring all financials, supporting documents,
and references are organized and complete.
Dan has "walked in your shoes" as both a buyer of a business and a
seller of a business. He has also started many businesses (some successful, some
not). Dan owns and has owned several businesses over the years (financial companies,
home service companies, retail stores and restaurants) so he knows the feelings,
the financials and the fulfillment that go along with it.
He believes that if the desire and passion is there, anyone can own their own
business and thrive. It is his goal to help people reach their dream of business
ownership. He is here to help you along the way.
