I recently had the pleasure of working with Gregory from IBA NW Business Brokers and can unequivocally say that the experience exceeded my expectations in every way. If you’re seeking a top-notch business broker who combines expertise, dedication, and a personal touch, look no further.

From the very beginning, Gregory demonstrated an impressive depth of knowledge about the market and a keen understanding of my specific needs. He took the time to thoroughly assess my business, offering insights and advice that proved invaluable in positioning it effectively for potential buyers. IBA’s strategic approach and attention to detail ensured that my business was not only market-ready but also highly attractive.

Communication with Gregory was always prompt and transparent. He kept me informed at every stage of the process, answering all my questions with patience and clarity. His negotiation skills were particularly noteworthy; he worked tirelessly to secure the best possible terms and was adept at navigating the complexities of the transaction with skill and professionalism.

What truly set IBA apart was their genuine commitment to my success. It was clear that they were not just focused on closing a deal, but on ensuring that the transaction aligned with my long-term goals. Their dedication and personalized approach made me feel supported and confident throughout the entire process.

Thanks to Gregory and IBA NW Business Brokers, I achieved a successful sale that met my objectives and exceeded my expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend IBA NW Business Brokers to anyone looking to buy or sell a business. Their expertise, integrity, and exceptional service make them a standout choice in the industry.

When it came time for us to sell our business, we didn’t know where to start. Who do we confide in? Who will listen to our needs, provide guidance and advice throughout the entire process? Who will understand the struggles of managing a busy life and support us along the way? Who will communicate with both efficiency and professionalism? Who will demonstrate grace and patience when deadlines are quickly approaching? Who has real life knowledge and experience with the unique aspects of restaurant ownership?
Upon meeting and interviewing Oliver Kotelnikov, at IBA, our questions were answered, and our concerns were put to rest. We felt respected and relieved to find a match for our needs! As we reflect on the entire process, we are grateful for the solid communication, the on-site visits, the much-needed education, and the freedom to ask questions and get clarification. Whatever fears and apprehension we held at the beginning of the process quickly faded.
Thank you, Oliver, for all the seen and unseen actions you pursued on our behalf, for building a bridge to the new owner, and for your genuine compassion when personal tragedy rocked our world.
It is without hesitation that our family recommends Oliver to represent your buying and selling needs.

Sally Bergesen of IBA represented my husband and I in the sale of our 25+ year old family-owned business in the construction industry. What impressed me the most was her perseverance. There were multiple challenges, but with Sally’s diligence, we were able to overcome them.

Sally took the time to truly understand our business, the industry, and our specific goals, tailoring her approach to ensure the best possible outcome. I can’t even count the number of times she made the long drive south from Seattle to Vancouver to guide us through buyer meetings or just to offer emotional support.

We truly appreciate Sally’s genuine care for our success—not just closing the deal but ensuring both parties felt satisfied with the outcome. If you’re looking for a business broker who truly goes above and beyond, I can’t recommend Sally enough.

Oliver Kotelnikov of IBA was a true pleasure to work with in the sale of our restaurant business and the associated commercial property. His knowledge of the marketplace was apparent and his experience was obvious as it continually informed the process. Oliver proved to be a tough negotiator, yet was kind and respectful as he fielded any and all of our questions. We, the family of Judy Fu, the original owners of Judy Fu’s Snappy Dragon Restaurant, highly recommend him.
