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.

Since buying my current Harley-Davidson dealership through George Chaconas, he had kept in touch with me. I reached out to George to see if he could help me purchase the contiguous Harley-Davidson dealership in order to grow my business. With his help and tenacity, including his relationships in the industry, he was able to help me acquire my second Harley-Davidson dealership. I am forever grateful and thank George Chaconas for his help. If you are considering buying or selling your Harley-Davidson dealership, I would highly recommend George Chaconas and Performance Brokerage Services.

Having acquired a Harley-Davidson dealership from George Chaconas in the recent past, and with my father having worked with Performance Brokerage Services over many years, I reached out to George to help us purchase a local Polaris franchise only. George and Courtney Bernhard did an excellent job on helping us work through the negotiations and the closing process to purchase Van’s Motorsports with Polaris to relocate to our existing dealership. I want to thank George and Courtney very much for another successful deal to help us continue to grow, and look forward to working with them again in the near future!

Having known George Chaconas and being in the business for years, he was the go-to guy and knew I wanted to buy in Wisconsin. In a very short period of time, George identified Open Road Harley-Davidson, and the rest is history. I would like to say thank you to George and Courtney Bernhard of Performance for helping provide a smooth transaction, and look forward to George and Courtney helping us continue to grow.

We met George Chaconas of Performance Brokerage at the H-D annual dealer show. George was very experienced, and we were always impressed with his professionalism. When the time was right to sell, how we went about selling our dealership was as important to us as who would become our successors. Staying in touch with George and his Associate, Courtney Bernhard, was beneficial in so many ways, with their great knowledge of the Powersports business and being well-networked. The favorable introduction to the buyers resulted in a great fit for our market and our succession plan. Courtney was onsite at the closing and made sure the entire process was fluid and seamless. We strongly recommend this duo of high-integrity professionals if you’re thinking of buying or selling.

If I had to rate my experience with Courtney Bernhard of Performance Brokerage Services on a scale of 1 to 10, she would receive a 100! She was very professional, helpful, and treated me with honesty and respect. She worked between the buyer and me, and we came to a fair price for both sides. I will admit, when Courtney first called me about having a buyer for my business, I kind of blew her off and told her to call me next week, as I thought it was a scam. The next week, she called back and I was still extremely apprehensive. You don't just get a call from people wanting to buy your business every day! From that point on, Courtney did everything. She dealt with the title work, the manufacturer approval - she did it all! Again, this transaction was fast, painless, and professional. I can't say enough good about Courtney and Performance Brokerage Services.

Having bought other Harley-Davidson dealerships in the past with George's help, we developed a very honest and trusting relationship that was instrumental in my recent purchase of Los Angeles Harley-Davidson of Anaheim. He's my go-to guy if I am buying or selling a Harley-Davidson dealership. He's a true professional and an industry expert! I would highly recommend George Chaconas and Performance Brokerage Services!

Having known of George Chaconas as the Harley-Davidson go to guy to sell stores, I met with him on two different occasions to consider my options and selling. He provided a complimentary evaluation of my business too. I finally made the difficult decision to sell and hired George. He immediately identified the perfect buyer and eventually we came to a meeting of the minds on a deal. I am very happy and pleased with his personal service and commitment. I would highly recommend George and Performance Brokerage Services.

I used Performance Brokerage Services to sell my standalone Indian Motorcycle dealership in Fort Hood, Texas. George Chaconas and Juan Pardo were both professional and timely. They were willing to spend the time and effort finding the right buyers for the dealership. They kept me informed of the status and progress of the transaction and communicated with me on a very professional and timely manner. It was indeed a pleasure dealing with Performance Brokerage Services to accomplish our desired outcome.
