Dan Hiller – Headquarters – April 2023

 

“Working with John Kasapi I knew from the beginning that he would sell the salon. After the salon had been listed with another broker for over a year with little to no effort being proactively shown, it was refreshing to have John work with us and get qualified leads within just a few weeks, resulting in a sale. John guided the buyer from their initial inquiry through to the finalisation of the sale and settlement. This business was part of our family for 32 years and having John take care of the sale meant a lot of myself and my family – knowing that we’ve found the best possible solution.”

Ridha Alamarah - Buyer – Urban man barbers – April 2023

 

 

“I was looking to buy another barber shop and approached John to see if he had any on his books that were specific to what I was looking for.

John found me the ideal shop and helped me immeasurably during the buying process. We encountered some difficulties with the lease, John not only ironed out all the issues we were having with the leaseholder he then renegotiated with better terms.  I am now the proud owner of my own barbers in Brunswick; this is all thanks to John. Look forward to developing more shops so I can eventually franchise them. “

 

 

David Natoli - Seller – Urban Man – April 2023.

 

“I have known John for almost 10 years, we met in a previous business transaction.

 

When I decided to sell my shop  he was the first person I called. The sale was not without its challenges we had issues with the lease and the buyer then looked to renegotiate the sale price. John managed to get a resolution with the landlord and also played a lead role in renegotiating the sale when it looked like the deal would collapse. Once again I found John to be very knowledgeable, confident and an experienced sales broker.  We had a good few laughs along the way and glad we have finally sold our business so we can focus on other ventures. Really appreciate all your hard work and persistence.”

Bianca Cubit – Seller – Ella Bache Hobart – February 2023

The whole process was seamless, and actually quite enjoyable, John made sure that every was item was checked off. He was across the entire process to ensure that we had the successful outcome.

Then the games began with our landlord. He was a nightmare. There were rent increases, yearly term changes, option problems, wrong names on documents, no one returning our calls, terrible lawyers involved.

I couldn’t have done it without you and I appreciate everything you have done to help me. “

Well…. You certainly showed us all,  that “Determination” is your middle name!

After having 2 other brokers attempting this feat and not being successful I was ready to give up. Then I spoke to you and you brought back all my faith in being able to sell my business and go into retirement. 
Thank you again, 

You certainly are the broker I would recommend to any of my friends that are ready to sell and move into a new face in life.

Natasha/Jack Bainbridge – Buyer - Blonde Army – January 2022 

 

“We first enquired on a salon with John but it wasn’t a good fit and then once we saw this salon we instantly knew it was the right fit. It’s was great dealing with someone that just made buying a business so easy. Especially when we were not even in the same town. We have now relocated and super exited to what 2022 has to offer us and our new business.”
