My dealings with Wes at CGK were extremely professional and honest. I worked with Wes from the buy-side evaluating an acquisition opportunity and his presentation of both the financial and personal aspect demonstrated he had done his homework with the seller. The experience exceeded what I have seen from many other business brokers. I hope we work together again in the near future.

Wes was professional from start to finish. I had worked with some other brokers before meeting Wes and they lacked the knowledge and professionalism that he brought to the table. Business sales/purchases are complex and we experienced some challenges along the way and when we did, Wes stepped up and worked towards solutions. I developed a new appreciation for the value of a good business broker in the process, they can make the difference in whether or not a deal makes it across the finish line. I highly recommend Wes to anyone in need of his services.
