Steve’s Testimonials
“Steve Merritt could not have gone more above and beyond to help us sell our business. At time when I thought it was impossible to sell a bar, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Steve helped us sell in the 11th hour! We couldn't have done it without them, and I would recommend Transworld and Steve Merritt any day!”
“Steve Merritt crushed it. We were extremely impressed throughout the entire process. Great communicator, highly recommended.”
“Steve Merritt has been extremely helpful and very professional, and I would highly recommend him.”
“I had the opportunity to meet and work with Steve Merritt. We’re truly fortunate to have met him, or our business acquisition simply wouldn’t have ever closed. We spent over two months trying to close our loan simply because the bank that approved ME was so difficult. The time and energy Steve put into ensuring our transaction closed was AMAZING. Truly went above and beyond. Thanks, Steve!”
“I recently worked with Steve at Transworld on a small business sale where Steve was the broker of the sale, and I represented the buyers. Everyone at Transworld was focused on getting the deal done. Steve, particularly, was easy to work with and understood the benefit to all parties that we work together. I appreciate all the hard work the team put in and Steve for keeping the parties focused on the end results: a good deal closed.
