Comments from Harley-Davidson & Powersports dealers.
TESTIMONIALS
The Performance Brokerage Services team has developed an excellent network of business contacts and service providers including attorneys, appraisers, and accountants. Four Corners Harley-Davidson and Four Corners Powersports was the second dealership George Chaconas sold for me. George and his Associate, Courtney Bernhard, did an excellent job. They identified four highly interested and qualified buyers. While two letters of intent were submitted, we ultimately negotiated with the buyer that submitted the best offer. All transactions have problems, but when we encountered them, George and his team used their business network, expertise, and experience to help us resolve them. We greatly appreciate their help and are looking forward to retirement.

Knowing that George Chaconas of Performance Brokerage Services is an expert in the buy/sell transactions of Harley-Davidson dealerships, my father and I reached out to him to locate a new store to buy. After a few months, George was engaged to sell a Harley-Davidson store that we wanted to buy. It was a perfect fit to expand our footprint in our market area and not far from our current dealership. George brought the opportunity to us immediately and was able to effectively help us negotiate a win-win purchase that led to a very swift closing. I would highly recommend this hard working broker.

We contacted George Chaconas of Performance Brokerage Services about helping us evaluate and sell our dealership in Fort Wayne, IN. After working with many different types of people over the years, we quickly recognized his professionalism, ethics, and business acumen and decided to engage him to sell our dealership. George guided us through all the moving parts of a buy/sell. You could safely say this deal was much more complicated than Dennis or I thought. George earned his commission and kept the deal moving by being the buffer between the buyer’s lawyer and our lawyer. He also knew how to deal with the reps at Harley. Now that I’ve been through it, I wouldn’t ever think of doing it myself. George was a gentleman and a great guy, we really enjoyed working with him. Thank you very much George!

Knowing that George Chaconas of Performance Brokerage Services is in the trenches of the Harley-Davidson space daily, I reached out to him to see if he could help us buy a second store. Luckily, George introduced me to a store that I had been wanting to own. Through some difficult negotiations George’s professionalism kept everyone centered and the deal moving forward to a successful closing. George understands the details and complexities involved in putting together a successful deal, and I would not hesitate to recommend him.

We had the good fortune of meeting George Chaconas of Performance Brokerage Services in Las Vegas, last Fall. After discussing future succession plans for our 40-year family owned Harley-Davidson dealership, George provided several reasons why accelerating those plans may be beneficial. He traveled to Milwaukee to see firsthand our dealership in operation and discuss market conditions. Shortly thereafter, George introduced us to a highly motivated buyer who had previously purchased a dealership through George and was looking to expand in Wisconsin. If you are looking for an experienced broker, intimately familiar with our business who can help navigate the sale or purchase of a dealership, I would definitely recommend speaking with George Chaconas.

Within seven months, George had identified a buyer and had our dealership sold. Throughout the process, George was always available, very professional and guided us through a highly emotional and stressful process. I strongly recommend George and Performance Brokerage Services if you are considering buying or selling your Harley-Davidson dealership.

My wife and I have been Harley-Davidson enthusiasts and riders for over 20 years. I am currently a Nissan dealer in Pennsylvania and George Chaconas introduced me to a Harley-Davidson dealership for sale near my family’s second home. It was a perfect opportunity to realize my lifelong dream of becoming a Harley-Davidson dealer. As a first time Harley-Davidson dealer, George was very educational and knowledgeable, and proved himself to be an industry expert. He assisted in facilitating the transaction from Letter of Intent to closing. I would highly recommend George and Performance Brokerage Services to anyone looking to buy or sell a Harley-Davidson dealership.

Contemplating selling my Cox’s Northern Tier Harley-Davidson in Mansfield, PA, I reached out to George Chaconas of Performance Brokerage Services to discuss the process. George offered to perform a complimentary valuation of my dealership and through that process I learned that George is trustworthy, reliable and professional; we developed an excellent working relationship. Rather quickly, George identified the perfect and unique buyer for my dealership. George was very attentive throughout the process and made himself available at all times. He worked diligently to bring the transaction to a quick and successful closing. George is an expert in the Harley-Davidson space, and I would highly recommend that you contact him if you are looking to buy or sell your dealership.

We spoke with George Chaconas about our desire to buy another Harley-Davidson dealership and grow our operation. When George brought to us Stone Mountain Harley-Davidson, we were thankful that he remembered our discussion. George remained involved through the entire transaction and was a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend George and Performance Brokerage Services.

George Chaconas helped us buy a Harley-Davidson dealership in North Carolina. Over the years, we stayed in contact with George and would meet with him to discuss the current buy/sell activity, market conditions and valuations. This led us to hire George to sell one of our stores. He was able to locate the perfect buyer, negotiate and facilitate the transaction very quickly. George is a pro in the Harley-Davidson market and I suggest you contact him first if you are in the market to buy or sell your Harley-Davidson dealership.
