The Green & Co. Difference -We don't just list a business for sale and hope a buyer comes along. We actively search for buyers for all of our listings. -We pride ourselves on going above and beyond when communicating with our sellers. One of the biggest complaints that we hear from business owners who have previously listed with another company is that they were listed and never heard from their broker again. We ensure regular and open communication. -We have an extensive buyer database of buyers who are waiting for the right business to come on the market. -We do more than just confidentially market our listings on the popular consumer websites and our central MLS, we use the best marketing tools and methods in the industry. -Confidentiality is king, so we screen and pre-qualify every potential buyer. It is our goal to make the process of either buying a new business or selling your current business as smooth and efficient as possible. We know how important confidentiality is to our sellers and we treat it with the utmost importance. Creating a win-win outcome for all parties involved is what we believe makes or breaks a deal. We use our knowledge and experience in the business industry to your advantage. As a result, our clients always come first. We pride ourselves on being responsive, communicative and hard-working. We have a "whatever it takes" attitude, and that is truly how we approach each and every business transaction that we help with.
