I first met Paul Kechnie of Performance Brokerage Services in 2015, and sold two dealerships with him in 2016. Most recently, Performance Brokerage Services helped me sell my third dealership, and the experience was once again excellent. Performance Brokerage Services introduced me to the buyer, communication throughout the transaction was very good, and Paul was always there whenever anything was needed. He is a man of his word—extremely helpful, honest, accessible, and great about returning calls. Paul is easy to work with, and Performance Brokerage Services is an outstanding organization. I highly recommend them to anyone considering the sale of a dealership.”

I found Kedge Cook to be the perfect buyer—he fulfilled every commitment in a timely manner. I’m extremely pleased with the outcome for both parties.”
