TESTIMONIALS

Garage Ocean Grove

Richard was a pleasure to work with during the sale of my business. His hospitality background meant that he had a very clear understanding of the industry and its potential buyers.

His use of social media I think is a great tool in attracting a vaster market. Garage was sold in under a month!

Richard was very responsive and kept me in the loop at all times with the progression of things and I was pleased with how quickly things worked out.

I would recommend Richard Kelly if you are looking for a business broker who will get results when you want to sell your business .

I decided to list my business Ocean Grove Hardware with Richard after seeing his face appearing continually in my Instagram and Facebook feeds. Richard does seem to have a different and I think more successful approach then your traditional agent by embracing the ever increasing reach of social media feeds as well as traditional advertising methods.

Richard is easily the most visible agent that I have noticed in the time our business was on the market. Richard also has a warm and caring approach certainly to us as the vendor, but he also resonated and related well with the purchaser of our business. His communication across negotiations and a long settlement period were exemplary. The end result was a very successful sale with a long standing family business being sold to another perfectly compatible family business.

If I were to sell or purchase another business in the future I would certainly be calling Richard straight away.

Yakiniku Hachibeh & Shinya Ramen Bar

When I decided to sell my two restaurants, I did not know who to use as I hadn’t sold a commercial property before. I spoke to friends in the industry and asked who they would use.
I was told who not to use but the common thread was how good they had found Richard. I contacted Richard, met to explain what I required and asked him what he could do to assist. This conversation was quite refreshing, open and he was so easy to talk too. He took care of everything!
I want to thank Richard for selling two of our restaurants.
His honest & clear processes during the campaign kept us informed all the way, I found him extremely skilled & personal.
He listened to what we had to say regarding our needs and expectations during the whole process, which gave us the outcome we needed.
His superior negotiating skills and brilliant social media coverage assisted us.
I would recommend Richard to anyone wanting to sell their business with a true professional.

Bannockburn Bakehouse

We have just sold our bakery business with Richard from All Commercial Real Estate with an outstanding, above asking price, result.

We have bought and sold several businesses over the last 20 years and have never had a multiple offer situation with any of them (bakeries are hard to sell!). We believe Richard’s profile and reach on social media and in the community enabled this result.

Richard is very personable and is great with communication with both buyers and clients which helps to convey the right information quickly and effectively. His attention to detail was invaluable when dealing with multiple interested parties too. He was definitely in our corner when it came to negotiations, which is more than I can say for other brokers we have

come into contact with in the last 5 years.

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Richard for any business owner looking to sell their business for a great result and with little stress.

Thank you Richard!!

It was an absolute pleasure selling my Business with Richard the whole way through. Richard’s strong hospitality background was such a plus when it came to understanding the business as it was, and clearly seeing the potential and opportunities it presented to the new buyers.

He was a great communicator, and he kept both parties informed clearly and honestly the entire way through the process.

His’ experience in selling business’s is clear, he is an absolute professional. I could not have been more satisfied with the sale, and the process, and can only highly recommend Richard if you are considering selling your business too.
