What Founders Say After the Close

Every one of these came from a founder who lived through the sale of their business. No scripts, no edits — their words, post-close.

“Eric was great to work with. They took my concerns seriously and helped to find the partner I was looking for in this transaction. They were patient, calm, and informative throughout. I highly recommend Eric if you are considering selling, partnering, or recapitalizing your business.”

Zachary Silverstein · Academy Air

“Eric was by our side and guided us through the entire acquisition. Maeser had specific criteria and expectations for any deal. They helped us find the right partner in Dauenhauer. Eric was a true ally — an advocate, a sounding board, a negotiator, and someone we could count on.”

Melissa Wilson · Maeser

“The guidance and expertise Eric brought to Pam and I was a key component to the successful closing of the sale. He didn't just focus on the sale price. He looked at all of our concerns, including making sure the buyer was a right fit for our team at CCM, and our customers.”

Sam DeAngelis · CCM

“I think you can quote us as being very selective in who we wished to sell to, and that you were very patient. You eventually found a buyer whose ethics, business knowledge and goals lined up with ours, making us comfortable in selling. We trust the employees are now in good hands.”

Pat & Judy Quinlan · Coffman & Co.

“Total home run. We love John — such a good man and great operator.”

Jack Rothacker · Founder, Sila Services

“That's nice to hear. Thanks. And thanks for the great deal. I love Sila. It is a great match.”

John Parker · Seller, JSP Home Services
