Testimonials

“After 16 years of business, my wife and I recently decided to sell our Pizza Restaurant in McCall. Having little experience in selling a thriving business, we decided to enlist the help of Arthur Berry & Company. Justin Badraun responded quickly to our inquiry and proved quite knowledgeable and supportive throughout the entire process. Justin, et al, found several prospective buyers right away. We had a qualified, signed, full price purchase agreement in less than 2 months. This speaks to the depth of their contact list and their ability to reach potential buyers quickly. Justin worked patiently with us throughout the entire process from preparing the initial listing through completion of the final closing paperwork. We are happy to recommend Arthur Berry & Company and specifically Justin Badraun to anyone seeking to sell a business in our region.”
-Steve Harkrader (former restaurant owner, McCall, Idaho)


“Sold a company with Brent. He did a great job of being their every step of the way. We had a great transaction with a perfect buyer that Brent found. We listed and sold the company within 3 months. I would highly recommend Brent!”
-Jonathan Smith (Corporate Housing Service Company)


“Justin’s work was flawless from start to finish. He walked me step by step through the entire process. He is extremely knowledgeable about every nuance of selling a business. Because of the camaraderie and networking within Arthur Berry & Company he found my buyer before my business was even listed for sale. I will absolutely use Justin and Arthur Berry & Company for all of my buying and selling needs.”
– Tana Campbell (Preschool and Education Center)


“I would suggest Arthur Berry and Company to anybody who is looking at Business evaluations or selling a business. They are very professional and help you through the process from beginning to the end. Justin Badraun was my agent and he’s amazing.”
– Khaseta Grigg (Barbecue Restaurant & Catering Service)


“We were very pleased with the persistent, thorough and complete job from Arthur Berry & Company and their agent, Justin Badraun. Justin’s knowledge, attention to detail, and his optimistic attitude was outstanding. During the initial phases of our sale, the professionalism from Justin and the Company was impressive. And, as we were finishing negotiations, finalizing our sale, Justin’s communication coordination was again outstanding. Considering all parties involved – the buyers, the lawyers, the accountants and others – Justin kept us always apprised of any developments and important areas. In our final analysis Arthur Berry & Company, and particularly Justin Badraun, gets 5 stars and an easy 10 out of 10 from us.”
– Kent Johnson (Downtown High Volume Manufacturing)

“I worked with Heidi Glaisyer on the sale of my business. She is a woman of dedication and detail who supports the sales process with extraordinary expertise and detailed communication. She is one of the most efficient, timely, and straightforward business people that I have ever worked with. It was a pleasure to work with her on this transaction.”
– Nancy, Earthlight Minerals & Gifts


“We very much enjoyed working with Brent Bungard from Arthur Berry & Company.   Brent was focused, informed and professional in working with us to sell our business and property.   Brent was concerned with helping us find the right fit and maximize the value of our sale.   He was patient and knowledgeable, always available and ready to answer any concerns.   We would definitely go to Brent again if we had any property to sell in the future.”
– John Turner, Turner’s Sportfair and Turner’s Lounge


“We just completed the sale of our business for about $850,000.   We had asked that the sale be handled discreetly. Brent Bungard worked with us as we had requested, visited our business physically, helped us along in the process and kept us informed every step of the way from start to finish.   The journey was good, the destination was satisfying.   I had the business for sale with another broker for about one year before Brent got involved and during that year we felt that the broker did not help us in any of the ways that Brent did.   Brent went hunting for prospective buyers, advertised in areas I’d never heard of, promoted our business in every way possible and kept promoting our business with anyone who showed interest in it.   I know that this isn’t true, but Brent made us feel like we were his only client as he worked the sale and as he kept us abreast of his progress continuously.   I would recommend Brent to anyone wanting to sell their business.”
– Joe and Sherry Chapman, Konkolville Motel

– Stephanie McCall, McCall Industrial Supply


“Dear Brent (Bungard): I wish to express my appreciation for your success in selling the liquor license when we closed our hotel. You obtained a good buyer who proved to be well qualified to have the license. You handled our special needs very professionally.”
– David R. Ross, General Partner, Rodeway Inn Boise


“We would recommend Arthur Berry & Company, and especially Bill Spofford. Bill put a lot into this project over an extended period of time and was most helpful in suggestions to improve our chances of selling.   He was very helpful in explaining how the process worked, what we needed to do at each step and what everything meant.   We never worried that confidential information wouldn’t be handled properly.   He always put us first in times that it would have been in his best interest to do something differently.   Bill was available at a moment’s notice, whenever there was a conflict or question of any type, and very good at helping to resolve anything that came up.”
– Ron Grover and Kevin Hicken, Sellers of Shortstop Market


“To Whom It May Concern: I would recommend Ron Winkler of Arthur Berry & Company to be your selling agent.   He is a very personable and professional man.   He conducted the sale of my Commercial building in a professional manner and answered any questions I had.   He traveled from Boise, Idaho to Burns, Oregon (200 miles) when I was to meet with the buyers.   I appreciated that extra time that he put in.   I would not hesitate to have him as my agent again. “
– Patricia B. Wagner, Burns, Oregon


“Dear Dave [Norris]: I wanted to write you and let you know how impressed we were with the professional way you helped us sell our business.   It was always a pleasure working with you and your attention to the details helped us to feel completely comfortable with the whole process.   We were particularly surprised at how many people you brought over to see the business.   You gave the business excellent exposure and we felt that your fee was well worth the work that you did.   I would highly recommend Arthur Berry & Company if you are either selling or buying a business.   Without them, I’m sure we would not have got such a good price and found a suitable buyer to take over a cherished business that we ran for 20 years.   Thank you and let me know if you would like me to talk with any of your prospective business sellers. “
– Jim and Cindy Sparling, Cartridge Connection


“This [valuation report] looks great.   I can see arguments both for higher and lower valuations.  Your conclusion seems quite reasonable.   A few more years of solid performance and it appears we will reach a very different conclusion about our worth.   Your report is not only very informative and helpful, but also a shot in the arm.   Thanks again for your thorough, professional work and rapid response.   I look forward to our paths crossing again.”
– Jon Moses, Principal & CEO, MD Review


“I wanted to take a moment to thank your company and specifically Lenny Nelson for his diligent efforts in assisting me during my recent quest to purchase a homeowners association management company.   I found Lenny to be persistent in his pursuit of a company that would fit my needs, but at the same time always careful to put my interests as his client first.   His honesty and “tell it like it is” attitude were refreshing and a pleasure to work with.   Although our efforts to purchase a business ultimately did not come to fruition, it was time well spent as I have found in Lenny a trusted ally and a solid resource.   I will not hesitate to utilize your company and Lenny in the future should I again have a need for business brokerage services.”
– Tim Dublin, Boise, ID

“Mr. Berry, I would first like to congratulate you and your company on an excellent web site – it has been extremely useful in getting a handle on how to assess the worth of a company. Thank you for your help.”
– Jim Biss, Assistant Treasurer, Air Products PLC


“…This sale/purchase has been like pulling teeth as we’re sure you will agree. Your firm, yourself, your office staff and especially Mr. Ronald Winkler, remained professional, helpful and ethical throughout this ordeal, which was the main reason we stayed the course and saw this through. We truly appreciate all the effort you put forth for us and our corporation. Mr. Winkler especially deserves special mention. From day one, he conducted himself in a totally professional and ethical manner. He represented your firm in an exemplary manner and was totally straight-forward and honest and never once did he insult our intelligence or try to guide our decisions by giving us ‘legal advice.’   He simply told it like it was. Without your reputable firm behind us, we would have thrown up our hands in disgust and declared a ‘sale fail’ and walked away. We are confident we will be successful in our new business.”
– Stanley and Suzanne Schoonover, SASSE Inc.


“When a former college marketing professor lists a business, what does he hope to receive from the broker?   Answer: Exactly what we received from Arthur Berry & Company!   From the outset, I was impressed with (Art Berry’s) analysis and valuation.   Your packaging of the business created a very professional image, and your advertising was right on the mark.   Furthermore, you delivered a qualified buyer within 60 days and stayed close to the transaction right through to the closing.   I don’t know what else one can ask for…   Thanks for the great service.”
– Walt Bader, The Bader Company
