I'm Melissa J. Walsh, founder and principal business broker at the Zirbes Group. I work with both business owners looking to sell and entrepreneurs ready to buy. Whether you're preparing to exit a company you've built from the ground up or you're searching for the right business to invest in, I'm here to guide you through the process with integrity, clarity, and a strategy tailored to your goals.

My background in business consulting and real estate has taught me that every transaction is personal. Behind every sale or purchase is someone’s hard work, vision, and future, and that’s something I never take lightly. I work closely with my clients to ensure they feel informed, confident, and protected at every step of the journey.

For sellers, I offer a hands-on, discreet process that highlights your business’s true value and positions it in front of serious, qualified buyers. For buyers, I help you navigate opportunities that align with your objectives, guiding you through due diligence and negotiation with a clear focus on long-term success.

I’ve had the privilege of working with clients across a wide range of industries in both Minnesota and Florida, and I pride myself on being responsive, honest, and relationship-driven. Many of my clients return for future deals and refer others because they know I’ll always put their interests first.

Whether you’re looking to sell with peace of mind or buy with confidence, I’m here to make the process as smooth, strategic, and successful as possible. Let me help you take the next step forward with confidence!
