Consultant

I can not give enough positive feedback for Greg and his team, including the CPAs with NicholsCauley. Their personal service delivered with professional experience and guidance is simply priceless. I would advise any individual considering selling their business to go through this process with Insurance Merger Specialists--at the very least, you will be a better business owner as a result of the experience; at the very best, you are in the best possible financial situation.

Simply amazing. This was something new for us but Greg, Eryk, and the entire Team helped us better understand the processes and tactical implementations to satisfy (and exceed) the buyers expectations. We would have been lost and totally at the mercy of the buyer without their help. The end product was worth waiting for and we most emphatically recommend IMS.

CEO

My agency may not be the biggest, but when it came to selling, I was not sure how to handle it. Greg and Amanda made the process very simple for me. Their partner accountants helped me with getting my financials in order and helped with the allocation of assets for my tax benefit. I had spoken with another broker in the past, but when I spoke with Greg, I knew he was going to be able to help me. In fact, I still speak with him today and refer anyone I know to Insurance Merger Specialists.

From the very first inquiry for information on the asset to the finance and eventual closing, Greg and Amanda were there to assist and help facilitate a very complex transaction with confidence. This purchase has helped elevate our business model to the next level and has helped make future acquisitions possible.

We hope to use Insurance Merger Specialists services again in the future and highly recommend their services.

I'm not sure how anyone can buy or sell an agency without having people like Greg, Amanda and Jeff involved.

Buying or selling an agency of any size is very complex.  Greg and Amanda made the process as painless as possible.  Their in depth knowledge and experience of the insurance agency business model greatly helped both myself and the Seller. I won't do another deal without these guys.

Adams Insurance Agency

President

Greg and his team are true professionals in every way.  If you're a seller, you owe it to yourself to talk to them!!

Parks Insurance Group

Many times people or services don't live up to the hype. Greg Hicks is an exception. I thought I knew what I was doing in selling my agency. I've been an agent for 46 years. I soon found out I know about selling insurance but I knew nothing about selling an agency. Without Greg, I would have been eaten alive. Don't even talk to anybody about selling till you talk to Greg.

Clark Farley Insurance Agency, Inc.

From our initial conversations through the entire due diligence period, Greg was direct and truthful and set reasonable expectations about the process.

Mountain Pacific Insurance

Simply put, Greg and his team are amazing! Over the years I've completed several small acquisitions on my own, however when it came time for selling my agency, it became a completely different ballgame. Through his team's efforts, we were able to restructure our expenses, and improve our overall financial performance. These efforts led to receiving much higher offers than if I would have would have tried to sell it myself.
Thanks again Greg, you're the BEST!
