I want to thank you for the great job you did in selling my family's company. As you know, I went into this knowing very little about the process and it has been amazing to see all there is to selling a business.

Edward Kirik, President
Syntex Rubber Corporation
Thank you for helping me with the sale of my insurance agency. As you know, this was my first insurance agency that I started, and have built up over the past nine years.

Steve Hunt, President
Hunt Agency, Inc.
I want to thank you for your services in selling my business. As you know, it was relatively easy for you to identify the "right" buyer who was willing to pay the most for the business.

Joseph Hebert, President
Gazette Printing Company, Inc.
I would recommend Touchstone Advisors to anyone wishing to buy or sell a business. After discussing my needs and requirements, they explained exactly what they would do to sell my business.

William Russell, President
Mediquip, Inc.
You were practical and perceptive in assessing the merits of our partnership profile for, as it were publication and distribution to potential purchasers.

Dan Russell, Partner
Russell & Dawson Architecture & Engineering
Never having sold a business before, your attention to detail sure came in handy, not to mention the environmental problems no one could have foreseen. You steered us through every problem with ease and always made sure it was solved and corrected.

Nancy Sears, President
Best Buy Oil Co., Inc.
Touchstone Advisors helped us to purchase our second business. Without your help, I am sure that the sale would have never gone through. With Touchstone's guidance and suggestions we were able to come to a place that benefited both the seller and ourselves.

Paula Goodwin, Vice President
Abbey Printing Co.
Thank you for your work with us on acquiring the Hunt Agency. From our initial conversations and meetings, you have been a true professional to work with. We are very excited to have Steve Hunt as a producer, and look forward to developing a long term relationship with Steve.

Joe Dendas, Vice President
The Pawson Group
It was a true pleasure working with the professionals at Touchstone Advisors, LLC. From the very beginning you were responsive, accessible and honorable . . . we look forward to working with you in the future.
