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.

I would like to thank George Chaconas and Courtney Bernhard of Performance Brokerage Services for their professionalism, expertise, follow-up, and responsiveness in our buy-sell transaction. They were extremely helpful in consummating the deal. If you are considering buying or selling a marine/boat dealership, please consider them.

Having bought two Harley-Davidson dealerships from George Chaconas and Performance Brokerage Services in the past, including my recent acquisition of Victorville Harley-Davidson in California, George called me about acquiring the iconic Orange County Harley-Davidson and Coronado Beach Harley-Davidson. George had been in the middle of negotiations with several very interested and capable parties. I didn't want to miss out on these two fantastic opportunities, and we quickly negotiated a deal. The rest is history. I want to thank George and his team again for their professionalism and helping us to continue to grow and expand our footprint in California. We are very happy and look forward to taking both dealerships to the next level. If you are considering selling, call George Chaconas!

After much emotion, thought and consideration, I hired George Chaconas to sell our store. It was a very difficult and stressful transaction, but he was able to help and guide us throughout the process. Without George’s expertise and tenacity, we would not have been successful. We also want to thank his assistant, Jennifer Malcolm, as she was a lifesaver. With their help, it will allow us to move on to the next chapter in our lives. We would highly recommend George and Performance Brokerage Services when considering selling your dealership!

This is the second Harley-Davidson dealership that we were able to acquire with the help of George Chaconas and Juan Pardo of PBS. I am very grateful that they assisted with this exciting opportunity to expand our footprint in southern California. They were very professional and helped tremendously with a sensitive, multi-generation selling family. If it was not for their patience and follow up, this deal would not have happened. Thank you very much and I look forward to working with you guys again.

Sweetwater Harley-Davidson of National City, California

This is my second Harley-Davidson dealership that I bought through George Chaconas, though this time with the help of his partner, Courtney Bernhard. I engaged them on a buy-side agreement where they identified opportunities that were not on the open market and thought would be a good fit for me and my strategic growth strategy. Shortly thereafter, they identified Bud’s Harley-Davidson in Evansville, Indiana and we quickly consummated a deal. It would not have happened without their help, professionalism, industry knowledge, and expertise. I would highly recommend George, Courtney, and their Performance team if you are considering buying or selling a dealership.

We would like to thank Courtney Bernhard and George Chaconas of Performance Brokerage Services for making the sale of our dealership a remarkably smooth transaction. Their professionalism and knowledge of the market and process were top notch. I truly enjoyed their insight and the collaboration throughout the whole process. After 63 years as a family-owned business, it was an emotional journey, and they were instrumental in finding the right buyer who shares in our family values and will continue the legacy Bud Burnett and our family have built in the community. Now we’re off to start the next chapter with more business adventures and a lot more riding!

We were grateful that Juan Pardo of Performance Brokerage Services brought us this opportunity. As United Motorsports continues to grow, we felt these 2 dealerships were a great fit for our brand and growth strategy in Ohio. Juan understood the buy-sell process and helped keep the deal on track throughout the transaction.

This was the second dealership that I bought through George Chaconas of Performance Brokerage Services. He knew exactly what I was looking for. It was a pleasure to have worked with George again as an industry expert and professional to help with a record closing! I personally want to thank him very much for a job well done and look forward to buying my next Harley-Davidson dealership with George. I highly recommend George and Performance Brokerage Services if you are considering buying or selling your Harley-Davidson or powersports dealership.

Dave and I started discussing a possible sale of the dealerships as retirement was on the horizon. We met Juan Pardo at the 2019 AIMExpo where he explained the buy-sell process, and what we would need to do to prepare the dealerships for a possible sale. In early 2022, we finally decided the time was right to sell. Understanding Performance Brokerage Services was the industry expert in dealership buy-sells, we hired their team to sell both of our dealerships. We knew Juan would help find a qualified buyer who would not only take care of our staff, but also take care of the customers in our market that have been with us for so many years. We are grateful for Juan’s efforts in this process.
