First Impressions of a Business or Property
 
When we start our evaluation of a business, one of the first things we look at is the housekeeping of the business or property. It is just an experienced point of view after doing this for so many years. Simply put if the project is dirty, or as they say, "it has a lot of deferred maintenance" it tells us there are probably more problems going on that we're not being told about. Before we go to market, we give the seller a checklist of items that they need to fix, repair, or clean if they expect to get Fair Market Value for the project.

If you think about it, why should a buyer have to clean, fix, hose out, or whatever what you left behind -- especially if they paid you a good price for the business or property? A great comparison is if you were going to sell your car wouldn't you wash it, detail it, make sure it's in good running condition to hopefully get a good price for it? That is why when we see a shaky project -- even if it is making money -- it's in the seller's best interests to do everyone a favor and clean it up. This is only fair. You only get to make "one" first impression.

Testimonials!
 
"I have bought and sold several businesses in the Sacramento area and have worked with as many brokers in the past. This time when selling my business with real estate I wanted to work with the best. I interviewed several well known brokers in the area before choosing Doug and Nina.

I could not be more impressed! They found a perfect match for my listing within a few weeks. During the process we ran into several obstacles (out of their control) with the project, but they continued to push forward with confidence, enthusiasm, and a level of commitment that truly surprised me. Their communication with both me and the buyer throughout the process was incredible. I was always in the loop, and they were always available to answer any questions when I called.

Doug and Nina are a top-notch, professional outfit that produce results. I would strongly recommend them to anyone trying to find the right business broker to work with in the Sacramento Region."

"If it wasn't for Doug Perry we wouldn't have found our great business. It has been everything we had imagined and truly appreciate him making it so easy for us."

Victor Sr. & Victor Jr.
Roseville, CA


I had been considering selling my trucking company for quite some time and buy a bigger business. After I interviewed several different brokers I chose Doug Perry and Nina Kovalyov to represent me. They were very honest, educated me on the market conditions but more importantly prepared me for the business I wanted to buy. By following Doug's advice in just my first year of owning my new business my income has shot up over $120k more than the previous owner. After working with both Doug and Nina over several months they earned my sincere respect for their great advice, great service, and proved themselves as real professionals. I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to sell their business or are considering buying a business.

Onward and Upward for Small Business Owners and Buyers

by Doug Perry
Broker, Capitol Commercial Real Estate

 

We have great news for business owners! We have expanded our location from the Sacramento region to now include Fresno and surrounding areas. Nina and I are excited about the changes and look forward to meeting many new friends in the Fresno area. If there is one thing in common between business owners is the need for good information when it comes to understanding the market place in which they do business and the right time to sell their business. You only sell it once and we want to make sure your transaction is smooth, no misunderstandings with buyers, and you close on time.


picture of Doug Perry, commercial real estate agent and manager

As any one that has watched the news over the last six months to a year the small business person has taken a beating by higher material costs of product needed, shrinking gross receipts, having to reorganize your work force so you are still competitive and in business. We understand. We follow the markets and trends of the small business and have seen both good and bad trends. Changes in the market place that defy understanding and other successes that you're glad to see happen.


One thing for sure is the infrastructure of the country - hospitals, housing, standing military, federal, state, and local governments, schools, police and fire departments - are all Americans and contribute to the financial stability of our communities. However, the backbone of our country IS the small business people of America and they need our help with our purchasing power to get them through these very tough times.

As a Baby Boomer myself, one thing I've noticed over the last ten years in family run businesses is that it has been pretty much assumed by parents that they would train their children to take over the business when mom and dad were ready to retire. The only problem moms and dads hadn't anticipated is that when it's time for their children to take over the business, they aren't really interested. So the problem for many business owners today, now that they are ready to retire, is how do I sell my business and get my life's investment out of it? The smart thing to do is give us a call so we can help you make an informed professional decision about what your business is worth and make a game plan on how to bring it to the market place and get the best possible price.

We look forward to meeting with you privately to discuss the best direction for you to take.

Warm Regards! Doug Perry, Broker & Nina Kovalyov, Agent
