What Our Clients Say
I can’t say enough good things about Joe Alter. He listed and sold my business in just 7 weeks for a great price – which must be some sort of record. He was competent, personable, always available, and generally great to work with. He firmly protected my interests, as well as being reasonable with my business buyer. He also has a team of other very competent professionals, such as an attorney, to work with when needed. I have already recommended him to two friends.
Deborah Harrison
