Success Stories

"I had the pleasure of working with Clarence Griggs in 2022, he was recommended by a colleague, but I knew him by reputation as well. I found Clarence to be excellent help with selling my client’s business. The transaction was difficult with the owners having conflicting views and big personalities that created issues throughout the process. The business itself was a bit complicated with the real estate having an outsized effect on the sale. Clarence always gave clear, honest advice and recommendations even when the owners’ would have preferred him just to rubber stamp their ideas. I think there are very few brokers that would have been able to handle this challenging of a transaction and to get top dollar. I would be happy to work with him and his office again. I recommend him to my clients."
