Advantage Commercial Brokers
Serving King County, WA
Advantage Commercial Brokers is a boutique brokerage firm that specializes in selling privately held companies in Nevada and Washington State. Over the last 20 years, we have successfully sold companies in just about every industry imaginable including service, manufacturing, wholesale, distribution, e-commerce, automotive, construction, industrial, professional practice, retail, technology, education, franchises, hospitality, and more. Why choose Advantage Commercial Brokers? * Direct representation by the most experienced brokers. Unlike hiring a larger firm that touts its company experience only to find that you are assigned a junior broker or that your company may be too small to deserve much attention amongst its large accounts, most clients at Advantage Commercial Brokers are represented directly by the President of Advantage Commercial Brokers with decades of business brokerage experience. * Business ownership experience. Unlike most business brokers in the industry who are salespeople looking to earn a commission, the principals of Advantage Commercial Brokers are successful business owners themselves. Aaron Muller, President of Advantage Commercial Brokers, currently owns multiple companies that run without him in addition to recently selling one of his companies in excess of $50 million. Aaron represents business sellers as a business broker not because he needs the commission, but because he wants to help his fellow entrepreneurs exit the business smoothly and profitably. Business buyer and sellers count on Aaron for his objective and expert advice. * Specialty. Selling privately held companies is all we do. We do not sell houses, and we do not sell commercial real estate unless it is attached to a business sale. We know how to sell a business inside and out.
