A Note From Ed
This isn't just a transaction.
It's your life's work.
Selling or buying a business is one of the most significant decisions you'll ever make. I treat it that way. I've seen what it means for a business owner to hand over something they've spent years building — and I take that responsibility seriously.
My work is grounded in five values I live by: Trust, Personal Growth, Service, Health, and Responsibility. They're not marketing words. They're how I show up for every client, every day.
How Ed Can Help
Three ways to move forward.
Understanding the Difference
Why a Business Broker Is Different
Business Broker
Business Valuation
Understands SDE (Seller's Discretionary Earnings), EBITDA, and industry multiples — the real language of business value.
Strict Confidentiality
Protects your identity as a seller. Employees, customers, and competitors don't learn the business is for sale.
Buyer Qualification
Screens buyers for financial capability and genuine intent before sharing sensitive information.
Deal Structure
Navigates earn-outs, seller financing, asset vs. stock sales, and the complexities of business transfer.
Real Estate Agent
Property Valuation
Skilled at pricing real property based on comps, location, and market conditions — but not business cash flow.
Public Marketing
Typically lists properties publicly on MLS — a process that doesn't work for confidential business sales.
Buyer Pools
Works with buyers seeking physical property, not necessarily buyers seeking a business opportunity.
Transaction Focus
Focused on real property transfer — not the operational, financial, and legal complexity of a business sale.
Ed does both. When real estate is part of the transaction, his dual expertise means you don't need two separate brokers — and nothing falls through the cracks.
What Clients Say
Built on trust.
Ed treated the sale of my business like it was his own. He kept everything confidential, found the right buyer, and never rushed the process. I couldn't have asked for a better partner.
Michael R.
Former Owner, Seattle-area Service Business
I was nervous about buying my first business. Ed walked me through every step — the financials, the due diligence, the negotiation. He was honest with me even when it wasn't what I wanted to hear.
Jennifer T.
Business Buyer, Eastside, WA
As a CPA, I refer clients to Ed because I know he'll protect the relationship. He's thorough, transparent, and genuinely cares about outcomes — not just commissions.
