This experience provides me with technical expertise to deliver accurate client valuations.As CASSIDY, I have developed relationships with local senior executives from all of the national brokerage companies and a number of large independents. This pool of strong financial organizations represents a flexible marketplace of potential buyers.My services are available on a fee for service or contingency basis.
