Russ and his wife have purchased a business, started another business, and sold the business. He has acted as an advisor on start-up operations giving him a personal understanding of the challenges and blessings that come with business ownership. Russ sees working with an owner to list their business, and to find the right buyer to take over the company as a way of serving God. he has learned that there is a time and place for everything. The sale of a company does not always happen as fast as the seller would like, and a buyer does not always find the right business for them as quickly as they desire. Patience and persistence are needed to find the right buyer and seller for a mutually agreeable business deal. Russ’ role in the sales process is to confidentially market a business so the employees, customers, suppliers and competition do not know the company is for sale. He also provides confidential guidance to buyers that don’t want it known that they are seeking a new opportunity. As a business broker I enjoy the introduction of both parties, discussions that bring about a successful business transaction, and the excitement of each party as they enter the next season of their life.
