Paul Vincent
VP Commercial
Serving Cuyahoga County, OH
With a background in closing millions of dollars worth of deals as legal counsel, we see a different approach from traditional brokerage arrangements, one where everyone’s interests are more aligned. Here's what sets us apart: 1. We’re not exclusive. If you bring a buyer from your network or within your organization, we don’t deserve the commission. It’s only fair since it’s come from your hard work. 2. No long-term commitments. We request 120 days to secure a deal. If we don't get your deal under contract, then you have the right to cut us loose. 3. We help get lawyers involved so the deal gets done, and we help offset some of your fees. Our fee agreement takes into account the size of the deal and recognizes no one wants to pay an exorbitant additional fee on top of ours. With our relationships and background we can help get the deal done with pros who focus on the finish line. If you or someone you know would like to see if we’re a good fit, reach out and we can connect.
