Buyers and Sellers Testimonials

Three years ago, when my insurance agency was dying you found me and saved my life. You knew exactly who and what I needed, and you were right on the money.

You found me an agency who was personally owned that could make a fast decision. We merged three years ago and while the first year was tough, I am happy to report I am so happy, and things are going so well. Your ability to analyze, and act on my needs along with your contacts made all the difference. I should have done this sooner.

I just wanted to take the time to thank you again. And please feel free to use me as of reference any time the need might arise.

My name is Anthony Johnson, and I am the CEO of First Light Program Managers

http://www.firstlightprograms.com I have had the opportunity to work with Ron on both an acquisition as well as a direct hiring. Ron takes the time to listen, and he understands our needs, desires, and concerns. As opposed to most recruiters, Ron truly looks out for our long-term best interest and is more interested in finding the right fit for us, rather than a quick placement and earning a fee.

The Chief Financial Officer was a difficult position for us to find the ideal candidate. We looked for months with no success. Ron took the time to understand our value proposition and then conducted his research and soon after presented us with some very capable candidates. We now have an excellent CFO and Ron presented him to us in a timely fashion.

Acquisitions are tricky as you need the right culture and structure to make a deal work on both sides. Once again Ron took the time to understand how we wanted to grow and listened to our criteria as to what type of MGA would be of interest to us. Within less than one year from our initial conversation, we closed on a deal acquiring an MGA that not only fit the deal metrics that we were looking for, but more importantly had a great cultural fit within our organization. Both the seller and myself celebrated with Ron on trout fishing trip to Arkansas after the deal closed, which further showed me Ron’s dedication to make sure both parties got off to great start so that they could achieve longstanding success together.
