Resource Business Brokerage Reviews

“For anyone looking to buy or sell a business, I strongly recommend Joan Loch of Resource Business Brokerage. We recently completed the sale of our business with Joan as our broker; to say that it was a difficult transaction would be a gross understatement. There were so many obstacles that kept popping up, it was the basis for a movie. But Joan was diligent, professional, and determined to bring about our goal = the sale of our business. Joan is extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with. If I were ever looking to buy or sell another business, it would be with Resource Business Brokerage.”   Tom McAndrew III and Tom Mc Andrews, Jr. previous owners of Bella Cucina Restaurant sold in August 2025
“Joan Loch of Resource Business Brokerage was invaluable in our investment journey. She expertly found the ideal building, recommended excellent service providers for short-term rental preparation, and secured a qualified long-term tenant for the additional lease space. Joan couldn’t have been any more professional.  Thank you Joan! We highly recommend RBB for commercial brokerage.”  Incognito, LLC, owners of 216 N. Front St. and Luxe 220 VRBO suites – 2025
“Joan assisted us with the sale of our business, and she provided excellent service! She explained the process really well, and the sale unfolded just like she said it would. Joan kept us informed throughout and honestly made the whole process much easier than I ever thought it could be!! I highly recommend her!”   Angela M. seller of Jani King franchise
“Joan goes the extra mile to ensure that all parties involved are well informed, that everyone is on the same page, and is always available for questions.  She works hard for all parties in the negotiation and diligently fulfills her role.  She was fantastic to work with.” Jeff K., new owner of Jani King franchise – June 2024

Joan’s knowledge, recommendations, and guidance through every step, from the initial offer to the closing, made the entire experience much smoother and less stressful.” Clayton Gsell and Kevin Keatts C&C BizVentures May 2024
