Our experience with Mr. Pat Bentley was extremely positive. After listing our business with another broker and having two deals fall through, we listed with Mr. Bentley. Within 2 weeks we had an offer, and a back-up offer as well! His attention to detail, his competence, follow through, knowledge of procedures, and support in putting the deal together (and at times keeping it together) combined to make a smooth and painless transfer of business owners. At all times Pat was professional, ready to answer questions or tackle a problem between buyer and seller. He was, in addition, polite, respectful of all parties and willing to offer as much or as little advice as was necessary. If I were selling another business, I would recommend Mr. Bentley without hesitation.
Don Yauger, Seller, Best Steak and Sub and Owner, Window Fashion ResourcePat did an excellent job of selling my mortgage company. He brought in buyers from all over the US, and while we eventually sold to an in-state buyer, Pat was very professional in handling the ups and downs of the process. He demonstrated a high degree of persistence and integrity, as well as a calm demeanor. He works quickly and does not allow issues to drag on. I would recommend Pat to anyone who wants to sell their business.

Pat has a calming effect on his clients which is an attribute that is very much needed when buying and selling a business. At all times he was very approachable and most responsive. He has the utmost integrity which for us was most important when selling our own business. Even when the process got rather frustrating at times, Pat maintained his natural calmness, while continuing to be persistent.
