Testimonials

"After 23 years of owning and operating a service company I was burned out and ready to move on. Luckily, I met Edward Valaitis. A few months after I put it for sale with Ed a buyer expressed interest in my company. The buyer was very demanding, had many questions, and required a lot of information from me. Not only did Ed work endless hours as a liaison between the buyer and me, he helped me put the buyer’s requests in perspective and work through his demands. Ed always had a positive outlook and kept things moving forward. He was supportive and thoroughly understands that selling a business that you built from the ground up is an emotional experience".

"In less than a month, there were five buyer inquiries"
– Debra Stuckey

"He supported me throughout the process but was really there for me during the last week before we closed. With the demands of running my business, the requests from the buyer, his attorney, and my own attorney, I was feeling very stressed and felt like I was sinking. Ed came to my office and helped me with the requests from the buyer."

"He was with me to the end and attended the closing at the buyer’s attorney’s office. It felt good to have him there because I knew he was looking out for me."

"In the end, my IT business was sold for near asking price. I have been able to move on and focus on the next chapter of my life. If I ever need to sell a business in the future, there is nobody I would rather have represent me than Ed Valaitis. I could not have sold my business as quickly or for the same price on my own."   - - D. Pulman

"I was referred to Edward by one of my customers and was comfortable from our first meeting that he would be the right professional for this life-changing project. He provided solid recommendations to improve the value of the business which we implemented. . He was very thorough in getting us through the many obstacles of dealing with the potential buyers, banks, inspections, and appraisals. Edison Avenue was able to get the full asking price and the right buyer that I was very happy with and who would take care of my employees and customers.

Most brokers don't want to bother with selling a smaller business, but "Ed treated us like we were just as important as a larger business. We trusted Ed with finding a great match for us, and although it took a little while, it was well worth it.
