Testimonials

Looking to continue to expand our presence in Florida, George Chaconas of Performance Brokerage Services introduced us to Beach Blvd Motorsports & Marine in Jacksonville, Florida. It was a perfect strategic fit for our other dealerships in the market. Having worked with George for almost 20 years, it was another great experience and successful acquisition. I look forward to working with George and his team in the near future. If you are considering selling or retiring soon, now is the time to get ahead of the possible increase in capital gains taxes. Don’t wait, call George Chaconas of Performance Brokerage Services now!

I have known George Chaconas for several years as the go-to-guy to help facilitate the buying and selling of Harley-Davidson dealerships. I asked him to keep me in mind when he had an opportunity that fit my profile. George introduced me to Las Vegas Harley-Davidson and the affiliated dealerships, and within a very short time, we had a deal. Don & Tim were great sellers and we hit it off immediately. George was very instrumental in navigating the process and keeping me in the loop, as this acquisition had a lot of moving parts. I had an excellent experience with George and thank him very much for helping me grow my Harley-Davidson dealership group. I look forward to working with him and Performance Brokerage again soon!

Testimonials

I want to express my appreciation for all of your hard work on our recent transaction. Identifying a potential purchase who would see the value in our situation and helping such a purchaser to enter into a contract which was fair for both parties required an incredible amount of focus by you and your associates.

Selling a dealership the size and complexity of Fort Lauderdale Harley-Davidson is not without its unexpected circumstances. Your guidance and help in that regard was material to our having a transaction which closed on time, within the parameters of our agreement. Not always the case when guidance of your stature is not available.

I personally thank you for all of your hard work on everyone’s behalf. The result for my associates, the purchase and their associates, and you and your associates was excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend you and/or your company to represent a seller’s interest when undertaking a transaction of this nature.

George Chaconas provided me with a professional, comprehensive package which helped me understand the market conditions and the opportunity. I relied on George’s industry knowledge and experience to help navigate the transaction. He was always very responsive, timely and communicated very effectively throughout the process. I am very pleased how George handled himself as a professional and industry expert.

Why Should I Hire a Broker?

A dealership often represents the majority of a family’s net worth and should be handled with care by an experienced broker. We actively manage the buy-sell process from beginning to end. We help you establish an asking price consistent with the market conditions and latest trends, develop a custom-tailored marketing strategy to identify the buyers most qualified to meet your specific goals, negotiate from a position of strength to maximize the value of your business, guard your confidentiality, guide you through the complexities of the transaction, and assist with the due diligence stage and through the closing, while ensuring that your best interests are protected. We are a full-service brokerage firm, by your side every step of the way.

Why Is PBS Different?

With PBS, you can expect the full force of a powerhouse brokerage firm with a personal touch. Family-owned and operated, we ensure that every client gets the proper attention he or she deserves, treating our clients like we would our own family. Our reputation is governed by the highest level of integrity and ethical conduct. These core values run deep throughout our firm and are the foundation for our success. As such, you can trust that your best interests are always at the forefront of our actions.

Experience the difference!

We charge a success fee only with no upfront fees and no retainers.

Our engagement agreements are straight-forward, flexible, and with no fine print.

We do not hoard listings to build an inventory.

We work hard to accomplish the unique goals of our clients.

With a 90% closing rate, we actively manage the process to ensure its success.

We provide regular updates on activity flow and expert guidance at every step.

Having genuine care for our clients, they often become our friends in the end.

Understanding these are life changing decisions, we take a no-pressure approach. Your satisfaction is our top priority and you will not be disappointed.

What Are Your Fees?

While providing an unmatched quality of service and a higher closing rate, we offer a competitive and reasonable fee structure. We do not charge any retainers nor upfront fees like most other brokerage firms. We do not expect any reimbursement of marketing or travel costs. We charge a success fee only, paid at closing and after you are paid.

How Do You Maximize Value?

The sale of your business is the last opportunity for the assets to generate income for you. We work hard to maximize the value on your behalf.

Earnings Adjustments: We adjust the earnings to reflect discretionary and one-time expenses, which enhances the representation. We factor the upside potential, a host of intangible variables, and the market trends that further influence the value.

Asset Adjustments: Accounting for accelerated depreciation, assets that are not booked, and varying valuation methods, the value of your assets may be significantly higher than book value.

Expert Negotiations: We negotiate on your behalf from a position of strength as industry experts with local market familiarity, utilizing an unmatched amount of data from national transactions across our 10 offices.

The Deal Flow: Creating a competitive environment among multiple buyers ensures you receive fair market value. Buyer’s decision to buy is validated knowing others are also interested. A sense of urgency and fear of loss are introduced, expediting the process and ensuring timely performance and continued fair negotiations.

How Long is the Process?

The sales cycle from engagement to closing ranges on average from 6-8 months. How do you expedite the process? Early preparation of your dealership for a sale. Establish an asking price consistent with market conditions. Maintain clean books and records. Involve specialized attorneys and accountants. Utilize an experienced dealership broker to identify a unique and motivated purchaser, and to help you avoid pitfalls and delays.
