Last closing of Q3! A fun one for a friend from X. Owner pilot, and you’ll never guess what he does for a living.

Slightly Off Market Deal Fellow Business Broker calls me 4a. He knows I’m in my home gym working out. He is putting a deal on the market and we did a deal a couple years ago. My cash buyer made it easy. Closed in 35 days. All cash. Buyer has purchased about 15 companies over the years. 4 from me. He said let’s do it again. My Buyer is also up at this hour. I text him. Buyer said let’s go! My husband asks who I’m texting. He knows both these guys as well. The broker I have known for 25 years. The buyer, for 30 years. This is what long-term relationships can do. Deal will never formally hit the market.
