Tim did an exceptional job on the sale of Brenda’s. He was very attentive & respectful. He made us feel like we were his only clients. Tim took our questions & concerns seriously & found a balance between our requests & the potential buyers. I don’t know that I will be looking to get back into the restaurant business, but if I did, I would call Tim to help me. I will be recommending him to anyone I hear trying to sell a restaurant. Thank you Tom & Tim for all the work you both put into the sale, it means the world to us.
