Larry Tilley

President & CEO Acme Plumbing & Heating of Durham Inc.

Selling our family plumbing business felt overwhelming at first, but Hal made the entire process seamless. From valuation to closing, his guidance and expertise gave us confidence every step of the way. We couldn’t be happier with the results.

George W. Marsh

President, Gelder and Associates Raleigh NC

A Voracious Advocate For Our Interests, Hal did a magnificent job representing my brothers and I in our recent sale of our long-held family business. He was a voracious advocate for our interests and presented us with multiple options we might not have considered otherwise. In situations where we needed outside help, he was keen to recognize that and had excellent resources to recommend. We could not be more pleased with the value of the deal, and especially would recommend Hal as your agent. He truly adds value to this process.

Jim Robbins

Former Owner & CEO of Romeo Guest Construction Inc.

When I decided to sell my company I was looking for someone who could understand and represent a privately held company and that’s when I was introduced to Hal. From our first meeting until the final closing of the sale Hal represented my best interest with diligence and professionalism at every turn. His insight and guidance were invaluable and brought tremendous value to the transaction. Hal is the best!
