Transworld Business Advisors of East Texas
Serving Gregg County, TX
In today’s economy, there are more people looking to buy and sell businesses than ever before. When a company owner needs to sell their business, they can’t just stick a for sale sign in the window. They need the assistance of a business broker to locate and vet potential buyers. On the other side, buyers rely on the broker to help facilitate the process of evaluating potential businesses and franchises for sale. A Transworld Business Advisor is the solution for both scenarios.

Cygnus Real Estate
Serving Leelanau County, MI
Cygnus partners was founded in Denver Colorado in 2009 by Greg Higgins, Carole Higgins & Kristina Minor. The partners are experienced real estate brokers. In 2012 a second branch of Cygnus was established in the Traverse City region of Northern MI by Carole & Greg Higgins. Upon establishing the main branch of Cygnus in MI the company gravitated towards more commercial and investment real estate. Through our practice we discovered a group of under represented and often times un-represented clients- small business owners who have painstakingly built small to mid size businesses which typically own the real property that they occupy. Unfortunately most real estate brokers will not take the time to evaluate a business or the assets of a small business before attempting to sell it. Over the years we have developed multiple methods of evaluating these businesses and become well acquainted with the financial products necessary to guide buyers and sellers through a successful transaction. In 2024 we added a 3rd branch of Cygnus in Grand Rapids MI
