"...thank you for the work you did in assuring that our acquisition of XXX occurred as smoothly as we had hoped. From your initial point of contact when you brought XXX to us through the closing, your help was invaluable. Not only did you find an agency that fit our pre-established criteria (in size, business make-up, location, and historically high quality service), but also your facilitation of the contracting process took a lot of owner and buyer conflict out of the transaction. I believe all parties to the deal feel very happy that you were involved from the beginning to the end.

Last year we were ranked by Travel Agency Magazine as the 35th largest agency in the country. With your continued help we plan to move up the list next year. I’m looking forward to working with you to help us achieve these ends.” D.E.P. Charlotte NC

Since the purchase our sales have steadily grown due to its great residential location. We anticipate meeting our projections by year end.

“...thank you for all the work you put into our successful negotiations on the five travel agencies we just purchased. You really provided the ‘common sense and glue’ to keep the negotiations focused on what became a ‘win-win deal’ for all parties. Having been a banker for over twenty years, I know the importance of having a third party to assist in the negotiations, when discussions start to bog down. You not only brought us the type of agencies that we were looking for, but you prepared them for the realism of the terms and prices that agencies are being for, in today’s world! I especially appreciated all the preliminary information that you provided as it saved us a lot of time in only entering negotiations with agencies that met our acquisition profile.” L.B.N., Miami FL

“Now that the ‘deal is done’, I wanted to thank you for the fine work that you did in facilitating the acquisition of XXX.” D.K., Dallas TX

“From the very start when I sent in my initial inquiry, your prompt and professional approach impressed me. I filled out the forms and authorized you to proceed in my behalf. Your approach continued to fill me with confidence.

Your efforts to find and keep in touch with the right buyer for my $2 million “Mom & Pop” agency kept me in an optimistic and negotiating mode throughout. This resulted in turning the family business over to buyers who are keeping the staff, the name, and the philosophy of the business. It is a fine feeling for us all! No one could ask for more.

I wish to stress that your efforts did not end with bringing this match to a contractual situation. You continued to assist with suggesting the necessary ARC and legal advice so essential to a satisfactory completion...” C.W.C., Westlake OH

A real win-win!

It is a pleasure to be able to turn to a professional organization.” H.D.J.B., New York NY

“From the very beginning you were really ‘tuned in’, and realized that after some 38 years of running a high-quality, personalized-service, leisure agency, the right buyer was perhaps even more important than the actual dollars. Without a doubt you negotiating skills helped to increase our return.” B.D.F., South Orange NJ

You presented to us just such an opportunity. Your contacts and database were certainly of great value and the entire process was pleasant, no doubt aided by your involvement.” R.S.T., Irvine CA

“...your patience and consistent follow up produced an agreement that has both the buyer and us excited.” S.K., Boston MA

“Once I decided to sell, your advice and friendly prompt service gave me all the answers to the many questions I had. Your vast industry contacts and unbiased opinion during the negotiating phase added tremendous value to my final decision. You quickly presented three qualified buyers to me. All three made attractive offers, giving me the opportunity to agree to the one that suited me best. I am very satisfied with the financial terms of the sale as well as the ongoing employment agreement.” C.B., Cleveland OH

“...one of the persons interested in purchasing XXX worked out to be extremely compatible with our philosophy in running a travel agency.” K.B., Ellicott City MD

You and your entire staff handled this with the utmost sensitivity and understanding.

“I have a friend in Bob Sweeney. And so has anybody who is considering selling or buying a travel agency. Bob, you are a well informed professional with a multitude of contacts in this business representing buyer and seller with a process that is simple, well handled, and equally fair to both.

After so many years [36] in travel, it was especially pleasant and surprising to end my career on such a high note thanks in no small part to my association with you...after so many years in travel and never having considered selling before, I really didn’t know where to begin. Fortunately for me, I had heard of your expertise. From our initial contact through our final conversation you had all the answer to my unlimited questions and through your capable instinct paired me with the most compatible buyer arrangement available at that time. I never dreamed it could be so easy and hassle free.” M.M., Huntsville AL
