I first met Pat Albero of Performance Brokerage Services and his team at Kubota Connect back in 2023. From the moment we connected, I knew they were the right group to represent our Kubota dealership in its sale. Their professionalism, industry knowledge, and commitment to understanding our goals set them apart immediately. Pat and his team proved to be an irreplaceable asset from day one. They guided us through every aspect of the transaction as if they were an extension of our family, handling everything from identifying the right buyer to navigating the complexities of negotiations and Kubota’s approval process. Their attention to detail and ability to manage the intricate steps of the deal allowed us to remain focused on running the business while they worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure a smooth transaction. What impressed me most was their dedication to maintaining confidentiality and protecting the legacy of Patrick-Miller Tractor Company. Pat understood how personal this decision was for me and my family and worked to find a buyer who not only met our financial expectations but also shared our values and vision for the dealership’s future.

I met Dan Argiro three years before my brother, Steve, and I hired him and Pat Albero at Performance Brokerage Services to represent our business. The process was a lot more complex than I had anticipated. Dan and his team, from day one, were always available for guidance and advice throughout the entire process until we had a signed contract with our buyer. Trust and confidentiality were the most important factors to my brother and me when it came time to sell our dealer group. The Performance Team excelled at both. I would recommend Dan, Pat, and Performance Brokerage Services to any dealer looking to buy or sell a dealership.

From the first conversation to the final closing, their professionalism, transparency, and attention to detail stood out at every step of the process. As a buyer, I appreciated how well they understood the business and its operations, providing clear and thorough information that made decision-making seamless. Pat and Dan were always available to answer questions and address concerns. Their ability to facilitate open communication was key to a smooth and efficient process. I highly recommend Pat Albero, Dan Argiro, and the entire Performance Brokerage Services Commercial Truck team to anyone looking to buy or sell a dealership. Their expertise and commitment to excellence made all the difference.

We were on the fence when it came to the decision to sell our dealer group or make a hard push to expand. We had heard about Performance Brokerage Services and some of the larger deals they had brokered in our industry. We reached out to Dan Argiro and Pat Albero to learn more about the process. We wanted to see if it made sense for us to use a broker instead of trying to sell the dealerships ourselves. As we got to know Dan and Pat, we decided to partner with Performance Brokerage to help us find the best buyer for our group. We continued to run our dealerships as if they were not for sale and maintained the day-to-day operations. Performance Brokerage took care of the rest. From the calls to the emails, to vetting buyers, they did it all. They were instrumental in helping us establish the right value for our group and finding the right buyer. We were adamant about strict confidentiality, and they exceeded our expectations. Their advice was sound, and they conducted themselves in a professional and ethical manner at every step of the transaction. We highly recommend Dan and Pat of Performance Brokerage Services if you want to buy or sell a dealership.
I have known Performance Brokerage Services for many years. After selling my automotive dealership group to a large buyer, my family was looking for our first acquisition in the equipment industry. Performance had an equipment division, and we engaged Pat Albero to help us find a dealership that met our needs in East Texas. After a short period of time, we were introduced to Jarred and Conroy Tractor. It couldn’t have been a better fit! The process went smoothly, and our family is excited to be in the industry. We are looking forward to our next acquisition with Pat and the Performance Team!
I was contacted by Pat Albero from Performance Brokerage Services because he had an interested buyer looking for an equipment dealership in East Texas. The timing couldn’t have been better! Pat has been excellent to work with throughout the entire transaction. He was always available to answer questions, and he guided me through the process of selling my dealership. I would highly recommend Pat Albero and Performance Brokerage Services if you are exploring the sale of your dealership. You will be happy you made the call
