He’s the kind of person we want to work with.

Testimonials

Jesse Stopnitzky and his team provided exceptional strategic advice and a laser targeted list of potential buyers from a variety of industries, not just limiting us to the RV industry. This approach allowed us to maximize our value and find the perfect partner to acquire our entire dealer group that was both an operational and cultural fit. Jesse’s approach was transparent, strategic, and met all the objectives of the owners, our Team Members, our Guests, Airstream, and Lithia. Commitments were made and commitments were kept. Integrity, high work ethic, transparent, driven, and honest are characteristics I would use in describing Jesse and his team.

Performance Brokerage Services, and working with Jesse Stopnitzky in particular, has been a seamless process. We have felt that they helped facilitate this transaction in a professional manner, but also allowed us – as the buyer – to ensure that we got to know the seller on a personal level. By doing this, we were able to ensure the financial aspects of the transaction were handled while also understanding the intangibles.

Testimonials

Jesse Stopnitzky and Performance Brokerage assisted us with the sale of our 75-year-old family business. We painted a picture for Jesse of everything that was important to us to attain not just a sale, but a proper fit that suited us as sellers, and for our employees and our community. Jesse attentively facilitated all our questions and needs. Jesse did not just become a business partner, but he took this to heart and worked diligently to vet out potential suiters and find a company that most closely met our criteria. Jesse genuinely showed complete respect, determination, and care throughout the entire process. When Jesse did bring a player to the table, it was a company that was indeed a great match. In working with Jesse, it quickly became apparent that not only were we partnering with a genuine person, but a company that shares many of the same values and ethics that we do. If you want more than just a broker, but someone who is a true partner, then you have found just that in Jesse and Performance Brokerage. We highly recommend them both.

Seeking advice when I decided to sell the store, I called a friend who had sold his. This was a great decision as he recommended Jesse Stopnitzky and Performance Brokerage Services. Jesse was the glue that held the transaction together from beginning to end. We laid out the guidelines of the type of buyer we would like to take over our 38-year-old highly awarded store and that is exactly who he brought to the table. He brought me the right buyer, got the price I wanted, and was there with his wealth of knowledge and experience to guide me through the entire process! I couldn’t ask for more and I would highly recommend Jesse Stopnitzky and Performance Brokerage Services.

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.
