Advice from Veteran Brokers (Part 1 of 3)
 

By: Business Brokerage Press

 

If you were to give one bit of advice to someone entering business brokerage, what would you tell them?

 

Business brokerage is a classic example of a business that is customer-service intensive, if it is to be a successful rewarding activity. New entrants should be "service dynamo's" by nature, or they should find something else to do. And, in order to provide valuable services, they must have the skill and knowledge needed.

Q: Briefly describe your background (length as broker, career prior, how you got into this field).

 

A: I began my career in March 2011, promptly after receiving my Bachelor of Science in Finance: Real Estate and Law from California Polytechnic University, Pomona. Both of my parents have been practicing M&A together for more than 15 years, a result of which led to countless conversations at the dinner table about the deals going on. Naturally, I was intrigued by the tales of heated negotiations between buyers, sellers, attorneys, CPAs and the business broker in the middle. It is this same intrigue that compelled me to make a career as an M&A guy.

 

Q: Do you have particular business types you specialize in, or a region?

 

A: I have had the opportunity to work closely with companies that specialize in alternative energy and energy distribution. The amount of consolidation that is currently in the industry makes it ripe for M&A advisors and brokers. I would welcome the opportunity to work with another energy distributor.
