Testimonials
I had the pleasure of working with Bob on the sale of my business. From the first conversation with Bob reaching out as the buyers broker to the follow up he did after the sale, Bob was always professional, respectful, kind and personable. Bob was very good at keeping me informed during the process and answering any questions I had. This was my first time going through the process of selling a business and U feel very fortunate to have Bob’s knowledge and help with it.

Working with Bob Wolters on the sale of our restaurant was a very pleasant experience. When we received an offer, we were able to close in 32 days. I would say that was in great part to Bob’s attention to details. We were in touch often to make sure everything was done in a timely manner. I never thought it would happen in the middle of the season but to our surprise it did and with Bob’s help we were able to get the job done. Thanks Dick and Kathy Luther
