Megan Graham , 01 May 2018 There are so many brokers out there and I’ve dealt with many!!! All I need to say is that Benchmark really are the kings of salons and I felt so comfortable and at easy with them, they always kept me up to date with the whole process and went through all the steps with me. I love my new salon and can’t wait to add to my brand and finishing touches, thanks Benchmark for your knowledge and never ending support.

Steve and Robyn Aird, 20 Jan 2020 - We appointed Glenn Irving of Benchmark Business Sales and Valuations as our broker. We could not have been happier with the result we achieved in the sake of our hardware business. Selling a business is tricky and the regular meetings that were conducted during the contract process kept our sale on track all the way through to the final settlement. We were so happy that we then asked him to sell our commercial property. Glenn Irving and his team brought me a buyer within 2 weeks. Great job and we could not recommend Glenn and his team strongly enough. Glenn Irving receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

I recently sold my business, and Karl Barban was referred to me through a connection in the transport industry. From our very first meeting, Karl demonstrated a strong knowledge and understanding of what it takes to successfully negotiate and sell a business in this sector. He was always available to take calls, attend meetings and provide guidance throughout the process. His professionalism and commitment ultimately led to the successful sale of my business. I highly recommend Karl as a trusted professional and a key partner when it comes to selling your business. Manny Sarantis

Suzette Jones , 01 May 2018 Wow Wow Wow This process was a whole lot easy than I ever thought it would be – I listed and sold within a matter of weeks. I had heard so many horror stories but my sale was a breeze. I had been in my salon for over 25 years and it was my baby! To finally come to the decision to sell my salon was a very emotional period for me and even more of a struggle was to find someone that I could trust and understood my concerns and needs! I had to know that I was going to work with a broker who understood me and our industry and wasn’t just full of hot air and over promising and under delivers. I had done my research and couldn’t have been happier with my choice to use Benchmark, the process was seamless and before you knew it, it was SOLD!!! I was even overseas while the settlement happened, this just shows how hard Benchmark worked on getting the salon sold quickly and how well they managed the entire sale, and they really do have the contacts within the industry and get the job done. Wow Wow Wow!!!

“I have looking to buy a salon for quite a while, after numerous conversations with Benchmark, I eventually found the perfect business that exactly suited my needs. I’m so happy to have bought the salon. From the lease through to the staff that came with the business and are now working for me, it is just what I wanted. I am absolutely delighted with the purchase. Thank you for making this possible and so straightforward.” - Jennifer Hannan | 18 Mar 2019  John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

Thank you so much, John. I truly cannot express how grateful I am for your expertise, knowledge, skill and guidance throughout what felt like a marathon business sale. Selling our business was far from straightforward, particularly with one of the most challenging landlords imaginable involved in the process. However, if there is anyone capable of achieving a great result under difficult circumstances, it is John Kasapi. We initially listed the business with another brokerage and, quite honestly, achieved very little. Once we moved across to John, everything changed. He immediately took control of the process, provided clear direction and worked tirelessly to get the deal done. While his fees may have been higher than others, you absolutely get what you pay for. John's professionalism, persistence and ability to navigate complex situations delivered an outcome we are incredibly happy with. Thank you again for everything you have done, John. I genuinely appreciate your hard work and dedication, and I'll certainly be enjoying a well-earned bottle of red to celebrate the successful sale. Cheers!
