Pacific Business Sales — Local services in Irvine

Long overdue review for Bill and Brittany. When we first wanted to exit our 45+ year business we weren’t sure selling was a possibilty. We had heard from consultants to peers that selling a construction business is tricky no matter how well the business is structured.

We searched for a broker who had experience selling construction businesses. After speaking to several such brokers, we felt Bill and Brittany were the right choice. Reflecting back, even six months after closing, we are so grateful.

In first discussing our exit with Bill and Brittany we laid out our financial needs as well as our desire for the type of buyer(s) we were interested in. After working with our employees for several decades, finding a buyer who met our ethical standards superseded the sale price. We were truly blessed to find a broker who understood this was more than just a financial sale for us.

Bill and Brittany did an excellent job filtering candidates to find the right fit. When we finally were introduced to the new buyer we knew this was the person we were hoping to find.

Throughout the journey, B&B guided us and the new buyer on getting to the finish line. We couldn’t have done it without them and would strongly recommend their brokerage services. Plus Bill and Brittany are just plain good people and you’ll feel they are looking out for your interests throughout...

I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Bill at Pacific Business Sales on my recent acquisition of a SoCal-based plumbing contractor. Although Bill was engaged by the seller, I was really impressed with how well he collaborated with me (the buyer) and my team to put the deal together. I cannot imagine how the process could have been any smoother than it was, and that is in large part due to Bill’s leadership in shepherding negotiations through to the closing table. Time kills deals, but Bill does a great job keeping the sale process moving on time and on schedule. He’s knowledgeable about the loan closing process, which was hugely beneficial for me (knowing what to expect) and helped to manage expectations on both sides of the process. He’s knowledgeable, experienced, and he cares - a rare...

I have now done 3 business transactions (one as seller, two as buyer). I met Bill on this third one. He is fantastic and is by far the best business broker I've worked with. He has an in-depth knowledge of the entire business sale process. He couples that with complete honesty and a great attitude which make it pleasant to work with him. He forecasts potential issues to help you steer around them. When issues arise, he's an absolute problem solver. He's intelligent, organized, and great at assisting in the negotiation process, too. Whether you're a buyer or seller, you will really enjoy working with him. I intend to work with him on future deals, too, and have already referred a friend to him. He's earned my highest...
