Testimonials:
“I would like to take this opportunity to express how pleased I had the pleasure of working with Richard Jahnke. Richard worked with me on the sale of Pucci. He worked very hard to make the sale happen. Richard found a qualified buyer within a month of listing. He worked through some challenging situations to make the sale become a reality.
Richard’s background in commercial real estate turned out to be an asset as he worked through some issues with our landlord. He was instrumental in obtaining landlord’s approval for the buyer on the transfer of the lease. There were major items to get through in relation to the closing. Due to the complexity of the situation, there were issues that would have delayed the closing, but Richard was able to complete everything and make the closing happen on time.
I am looking forward to the next chapter in my life after running the business for so many years. I would not have sold the business without the help of Richard Jahnke. Thank you, Richard for completing the sale of my business. I would certainly refer you to anyone that is contemplating a sale of their business.”
