We offer the most comprehensive services, the most knowledgeable staff, and the most credible reputation available. With over 85 years of combined experience, you will feel confident with our ability to help make your dream a reality. At Specialty Group, we take great pride in providing superior service.
Specialty's fully licensed, credentialed brokers and salespeople will assess your particular needs and guide you through the entire process. Because we have a combined specialization in commercial real estate and business brokerage, we know how to put deals together by eliminating closing delays to ensure that your transaction goes smoothly. If you're buying, we encourage you to register a buyer profile with us, since many listings are pre-sold before they reach the market. We only show you qualified business opportunities and listings that meet your criteria. We help you with every step, by using our extensive network of resources to coordinate business and site selection, as well as lease negotiation, property acquisition, financing, and PLCB documentation.
We can also represent you as a buyer, and offer buyer brokerage services, for opportunities outside of our exclusive inventory.
If you're selling, we can locate the right buyer, point out your options, and determine if the selling price represents the true worth of your business. We offer third party business evaluations and real estate appraisals if needed. At Specialty, we recognize that your Business is unique and we will take the time to understand your operation from the front of the house to the back. We will effectively develop and implement a selling strategy, in conjunction with creating a business summary booklet introducing your project to the marketplace confidentially. We interview buyers, arrange financing, license transfers, insurance and keep you informed throughout the sales process to closing. Our database has thousands of potential buyers from local, regional, and national contacts who want to close a deal.
