We value our relationship with Performance Brokerage Services, including Geno Walsh and George Chaconas. They brought a full suite of services and stayed involved in every step of the transaction. Geno was even present on the day of closing, assisting with inventory counts and ensuring a smooth transition. They have earned their spot as trusted advisors in dealership buy-sell transactions.
Working with Geno Walsh and Performance Brokerage Services was instrumental in successfully acquiring Five Star Nissan of Albany. Geno’s deep knowledge of the buy-sell process, professionalism, and ability to keep both parties aligned made the entire transaction smooth and efficient. He wasn’t just focused on closing a deal—he was committed to making sure it was the right strategic move for our organization. I’m grateful for his guidance and partnership, and would highly recommend Geno and his team to any dealer looking to grow through acquisition.
I want to thank George Chaconas for his help and professionalism in looking at several opportunities. His deeply rooted connections ultimately helped us land on Venice Nissan as the right strategic fit for our expanding footprint. His extensive industry experience, coupled with his long-standing relationship with Greenway Automotive Group, are what enabled us to navigate a complex deal through to a successful conclusion. I look forward to working with George again in the near future and would highly recommend Performance Brokerage Services to anyone considering buying or selling an automotive dealership.
We are very excited about acquiring our first marine dealership in Florida with the help of the team at Performance Brokerage Services. They were very helpful in guiding us through the buy-sell process and it was a pleasure to work with them again.
George facilitated our transaction seamlessly, from understanding the key issues to bringing us the right buyer. We appreciate the responsiveness of George and Courtney all the way to closing.
Having known George Chaconas over many years, it was a pleasure to finally work with him to acquire my first franchise dealership in St. Pete, Florida, Crown Mitsubishi, with his help, industry expertise, and professionalism. I look forward to working with him and his team, including Courtney Bernhard, in the years to come. I would highly recommend George and Courtney and the entire PBS team if you’re looking to buy or sell a franchised automotive dealership!
