I represent Buyers and Sellers in business and commercial real estate transactions, helping them through the complex process of buying and selling businesses in partnership with the rest of the BottomLine team. Our brokers are experienced and together we have sold companies across almost every sector, including (but not limited to) technology, e-commerce, logistics, health care, health and fitness, automotive, service businesses and retail. If it’s a business, we’ve sold it! I handle each client’s transaction from start to finish. This includes: • Preparing the businesses to go to market – I analyze financials and determine discretionary earnings and fair market value, review leases and contracts, prepare marketing packages, and arrange SBA preapproval where advantageous. • Marketing businesses for sale – I discreetly and anonymously market businesses to a broad audience of qualified Buyers, while maintaining the strictest of confidentiality. I not only help qualify Buyers, but help Buyers determine whether or not a particular business is a good fit. • Guide Buyers and Sellers through the sale process – I facilitate negotiations, expedite due diligence, support negotiations as required with government agencies, landlords, and franchisors, and help manage the details of escrow until the deal closes. My 30+ years of small business ownership gives me a huge edge representing businesses for sale. I have lived (and can relate to) the owner lifestyle and mindset, which allows me to understand each owner’s particular circumstances and represent their businesses in the most effective fashion.

Started a restaurant concept out of our home kitchen and grew it into a 4-location regional chain across two states with 30+ employees. I am an accomplished owner-operator, experienced in all aspects of small business in the food industry.

Best sellers included Lobster Mac & Cheese, BBQ Pulled Pork (a.k.a. “Little Piggy Got Pulled”) and Swiss Cheese & Bacon Mac & Cheese (a.k.a. “When Pigs Fly”). • Coordinated marketing efforts across popular social media platforms (Instagram - 174k followers!, Tik Tok, and Facebook), which generated exposure on local news (KCAL9 and KTLA), the Today show, the Travel Channel, Food Paradise, Tasting Table, and Foodbeast. • Developed training programs for both the front and back of the house, as well as the cleaning and food prep procedure manuals. • Managed all employment matters including hiring, firing, payroll, and development of employee handbooks. Diligently balanced the quality of the team with cost of labor.
