Sam Swope and Tom Wood started Courtesy Acura in 1985 and the dealership was passed down to their children Patti Swope and Jeff Wood. My dad became the Honda dealer in 1970 so it’s an honor for us to acquire the Acura store from the Swope-Wood families after all of these years. Mark Shackelford at Performance Brokerage Services helped everyone involved in this transaction. It’s important to use professionals in the process and Mark did a great job representing the sellers by clearly communicating their goals. He then assisted me as the buyer in working through all of the contract details and the application process. His involvement and services benefited all parties as he streamlined the communication process. If anyone is considering selling their dealership, I would certainly recommend Mark to assist them.
