Aniss Cherkaoui sold my Allstate insurance company with remarkable professionalism. His process was seamless, and his availability was outstanding. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a smooth, successful business sale.

Jay Herman

I appreciate working with you on our second transaction.  We've now closed two deals and a piece of real estate together and I'm grateful to have worked with you on all.  You do a great job of presenting interesting ideas for acquisitions.  Its clear to me you understand what is attractive to me and you present relevant businesses.  Navigating the treacherous transaction process goes much smoother working with you.  I've dealt with a lot of brokers over the years, and you have a knack for managing the process smoothly.   You do a great job of managing seller expectations and keeping them grounded in reality.  It's clear you spend a lot of effort cultivating your relationships with your sellers as they trust your judgment.  You are a tremendous asset to the deal sourcing and deal closing process.

I wanted to share some feedback regarding our recent transaction.

We successfully completed the acquisition of an electrical contracting business where Aniss Cherkaoui represented the seller. Throughout the process, Aniss provided exceptional guidance and leadership. He consistently stayed on top of all deliverables, ensuring nothing fell through the cracks.

I truly appreciated working with Aniss and would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

Hey Aniss,

We forgot to thank you for everything you did.

We appreciate how hard you worked and all of the details and meetings you were able to seamlessly manage.  

You did a great job, and I hope we get the opportunity to work with you again.
