Horrible Customer Service
I have tried for 3 months to get information on a business listed for sale on their website. I already own five of these same businesses so its not like I am a tire kicker. I have signed several NDA's with still nothing more than a generic response. I have asked several questions which i need answers to before I decide how much to pursue this purchase but with know response. This is a laundromat and my main two inquiries have related to whether it is single or three phase power and equipment name brand and mix. No response. I wish to warn sellers you may be better pursuing selling on your own.

Poor customer service
DIsappointing!
I have a small business in WI and reached out to Sunbelt to assist me with the sale of my business. I spoke to the local representative over the phone and then provided our financials to him. We set up a meeting time at a local coffee shop. I invited him to meet at our business to see what we do and he said that he didn't need to. Then an hour before our meeting he called and said basically we are too small and not "very" profitable and no bank would give anyone a loan for our business. Last time I looked there are still cash buyers. So, my complaint is that this broker obviously does not want to work very hard to sell a business unless it is extremely profitable. I get that but don't waste my time. Be honest and upfront. This broker is a representative of Sunbelt. I will not use them when I sell my other businesses.

Resolved: Sunbelt Brokers are Crooks!!!
I made an offer on a business and submitted a deposit with a signed LOI. This letter was non-binding and when the sellers did not accept my offer the broker, Sunbelt Northern Virginia refused to return my deposit. I am now about to enter litigation with the broker. This broker is incompetent and even asked me to "bullet point" the purchase agreement so he could better understand it. I will never do business with these clowns again! Beware of Greg Ellwood, not only is he incompetent he also forces legal and accounting advice on those who are not his clients. Business Brokers are like Realtors, 99.9% of them are idiots and Sunbelt is the worst of them all. Try going to their website and looking up contact information for their corporate office.

Sunbelt Chrysler-Dodge: "Show me the $$"!
For 17 years I've taken my vehicles there for service. NO MORE. Like most car/truck owners, I've had a love-hate relationship with the service dept. but for the most part I've been satisfied. Until recently. Now they just seem desperate to make $$. They charged me a full hour's fee ($89.88!) just to adjust a loose zippy-tie shift cable that was vibrating against heat shield. When car was in for brakes/alignment, they were only able to partially complete the work because a part needed to be ordered. I was charged IN ADVANCE for the entire job, with the svc advisor assuring me that when I returned to complete the job I would not be charged anything. I'll be da*ned if they didn't charge me AGAIN for labor. When I reminded them of their promise that I'd owe NOTHING upon return, they said, "Oh, the 1st labor charge was for the brake work and the 2nd is for alignment." Scam! During this same svc episode, I reported my speedometer lighting had gone dark and asked them to replace the bulb. Well, THAT wasn't done either. The svc advisor said the tech didn't notice a problem (of course not, it was daytime), then said, "I played with the light switches (on the turning signal arm) to see if that would help." I replied, "Don't you think I tried that before bringing it to you to replace the bulb?" He replied, "Well, I thought maybe you had just done a BLONDE thing, and I would be your hero." REALLY?! Finally, I had water pump, timing belt, tensioner, pulley, thermostat, etc. replaced. 25K miles later, my water pump went out and I when I took car in for repairs, they used all new parts, which I doubt was necessary. And shouldn't the pump & parts have lasted longer than 25K miles? Then when I tried to negotiate with them, asking for a partial refund, a credit, free oil changes, SOMETHING to make things right, guess what they offered me? Car washes!

Retraction letter
I am writing to retract my comment posted in July, 2011 against Matt Ashburn and Sunbelt Business Brokers, At that time i had petsonal and business frustrations which I unfairly took out on Matt and for the world to see. in Sunbelt's and Matt's defenseI willingly signed a listing contract with provisions that if I cancelled, withdrew, or prevented the sale during the agreement, the full fee would be due to them. matt sold me the business 10 years agoand did a great job. he gave me a favorable fee as a returning client, worked hard for 5 months, and got an offer for my business. I ignored it and cancelledthe listing. Matt and Sunbelt were fair, i knew I owed the full listing fee of $10,800 agreed to in the contract but we reached a mutual agreement where I paid a reduced fee of $7000. I rralize every business has overhead and they can"t worf for free. I hadn't told Mattof the hardships my husband was facing until the offer was presentedbecause I was vacationing in Belize. Matt was talking to my husband and he didn't tell Matt either.Sunbelt and Matt put forth a great effort and worked hard to sell my business and did everythig I hired them to do. I should have told them right away and realize that now. I truly regret my posting i made against Matt as it just wasn't true.

SunBelt of San Diego is a SCAM
Sunbelt of San Diego is a scam. www.sdcoast.sunbeltnetwork.com 858-550-**** 760-931-**** I asked them to help me sell my business. They came over and promised me a lot of things that will happen. My wife and I was very excited and they rushed us to sign the papers. We then waited and waited. They lied cheated and stole from us. They miss lead us on the process. We ended up losing our business because of the company. They left out a lot of the fine print and only told us the best part of the process.

Sunbelt Business Brokers - Unscrupulous
I listed my business for sales with Sunbelt Business Brokers in Ankeny, Iowa in December 2010. The broker was Matt Ashburn. In January 2011, My husband's business partner passed away and with his death a number of significant accounts left. In April, Sunbelt had a potential buyer and an offer was made in May. By this time, my husband's business was no longer viable. As a result, I had to make a decision to withdraw my business from the market as our family would be without an income. I explained this all to Mr. Ashburn, but was still charged $7,000 for 6 months of service, even though their was a financial hardship. To date, I have not received a copy of the work product (notebook), most of which was my work. Do not do business with these people.

Did not fulfill their obligation to list the company? They are too busy, not interested now!
Sunbelt Business Brokers in New Brunswick, were anxious to obtain a new client "at first"! Once they had obtained the required information and our money, they completed the assessment, which took weeks, months.. Finally, it was completed. Over the course of the next year, yes year..emails back and forth, with much time delay to try to get the business listed. Finally a meeting, only to realize there were errors relating to the historical data. This was to be addressed, updated and the business was to be listed. Well finally after "not receiving emails", one is received. And to our surprise, they don't have the time to list the business. So we are out $1500, only. Thank goodness. A waste of time and energy, I would not reccommend this company for listing your business..

It is often the larger firms that pick and choose which businesses are "worthy" or "profitable". Working with a smaller firm gives a more personable experience and many times will get your business sold FASTER.
