CROWNING TESTIMONIALS

I can only confirm all the raving reviews here for Crowne Atlantic. Jackie sold my 20-year old business very quickly, at full price and it was even a stock sale which is great. Jackie is very experienced, intelligent, organized, a very hard worker and most of all extremely pleasant to deal with. She fully understood my needs as a seller and defended my interests all along the smooth due diligence process. Look no further if you're looking for a business broker. Jackie immediately found numerous high-potential buyers and advised continuously on the best strategy to achieve maximum success. She's the best and I can't thank her enough.

From Peter Vander Stichele who sold www.cooksinnovations.com

Crowne Atlantic recently sold my 38 year old commercial cleaning company. It went under contract in 1.5 days with a full price cash offer plus a full price back up cash offer and 10 people in line to see it. Crown has this amazing data base with pre-qualified buyers with the price range and the type of business they are looking for. It went completely smooth and was a pleasant experience. Crowne is a family operation and Jackie and Lee were very personable, friendly, professional, informed and connected. They did a great job interacting with both the buyer and seller side and keeping it peaceful. They have gourmet chocolates and herbal teas and a nice environment to meet with buyers. I have recommended Crowne Atlantic to many of my colleagues and associates who are my age and will be selling their companies in the near future -- I would not use anyone else. I'm off to the beach and retired! Thanks Jackie and Lee!

From Mark Freche of National Building Services https://nbscleaning.com

We sold one of our businesses through Crowne Atlantic Properties just over a year ago. I must say, they are the only way to go. Jackie was extremely honest and forthcoming regarding time-frames, numbers, and expectations. I sell real estate for a living and understand the need to hire a professional to get the job done right. We had multiple offers within a few days and selected the one that made the most sense. I am very proud to not only call Crowne Atlantic Properties a fantastic business partner but since first calling them, a true friend and ally. Thank you for all the great encouragement and help.

From Jacob Hara Pioneer Real Estate

Purchased a restaurant July 2014 in Orlando. Lee Ossin was my broker and was very helpful during the entire process. Communications between myself and seller were coordinated by Lee Ossin and sister (partner) Jackie Ossin in a timely manner. Lee and Jackie are experienced and helpful to any buyer of a business for the first time, I highly recommend using Crowne Atlantic Properties LLC for many reasons, they are competent, reliable and trustworthy.

From Greg Granda Shaker’s American Café http://shakerscafe.com/

I highly recommend Jackie as a business broker. She is experienced, knowledgeable, thorough and solved many issues as they came up through the process. I was the Buyer and she represented an inexperienced Seller, but she was above board, kept lines of communications open, translated normal and market buyer expectations to the Seller during due diligence and guided the process through to closing. She is the complete package and I highly recommend her.

From Clay Mynard www.ColoSolutions.com

Jackie speaks often to my entrepreneurship classes. She is a dynamic speaker, passionate about the value of owning and operating your own business. The students receive a great deal of value from her expertise and experience.
