    Great Experience, Thank you!

    "At times of today where business dealings are harder than ever, it was a breath of fresh air knowing that brokers are still out like Irina Comer. I had the true pleasure of crossing paths with Irina where the clear, transparency, direction and guidance was second to none. I took a chance, a life savings chance on this company where people say never look back. I will always look back and be thankful that I was given the opportunity to work with Irina and allowed me the next journey of my life. Thank you!"

    We could not have sold our company without Irina Comer.

    "My business partner and myself reached a time in our lives where it was time to consider retirement.  We had a very respectable printing business and wanted to find the right person to carry it on but had no idea where to begin.  We reached out to Irina who explained the process and immediately began the search.  She found the perfect buyers who were as passionate about the business as we were.  Neither ourselves or the buyers had ever bought or sold a company before but Irina walked us through the entire process.  She not only worked directly with us and the buyers but interacted with the additional parties involved such as the banks and attorneys keeping all the moving parts together.  We highly recommend her.  We could not have sold our company without her."

    Irina is the ultimate broker!

    "We were skeptical about being able to find a way to buy our dream business, but Irina assured us that she would be able to coordinate financing, provide references for expert legal counsel, and serve as a professional liaison between us and the sellers.

    Irina was not only true to her word, but she exceled at every aspect of the process. Her business acumen gave us confidence that the deal would come to fruition.  In addition, Irina’s sense of humor made us laugh, even when obstacles seemed overwhelming at times.  Irina is a tremendous communicator; she always responded quickly and effectively when we had questions or concerns.
