After working with two other Business Brokers concerning the sale of my business, I was referred to Kristy Thornton and immediately knew she was the right person, to not only complete my sale, but the right person to guide me...
Betty Williams, Investor & Seller
Kristy had such neat ideas…she presented things I would have never thought of! She is extremely good at her job. If I could have added anything it would have been…MORE TIME. I wanted to learn so much more from Kristy.

Kristy was a pleasure to work with. She is very professional and clearly develops rapport with her clients. She knows what she is doing and was instrumental in getting all parties to closing on the purchase of an investment property.
Nathan Tune, Commercial Agent
...[Kristy] worked tirelessly providing more info and rebuttals to buyers on why their offer was too low. In less than a year we completed the sale of the day care within the asking price range. [She is] the first person I will call the next time...
