I want to thank you for the outstanding service you personally provided throughout our purchase of the Somerset Inn & Suites. There were many times that we felt that you rose above the call of duty in our behalf. When the time comes to list our property and/or look for another, we will certainly want to retain your services.

We were impressed with the diligence and professionalism that Tom Alberts and Jerry Dircks exhibited in supporting us in the purchase of our first business.

- Brad and Deb Koller

After Tom contacted us about the possibility for selling our business, we thought it would take a few years to find a buyer...Imagine our surprise when we sold in six months! Thanks to all of Tom's hard work we're looking forward to retirement with the knowledge and confidence that the new owners are a good fit.

- Bruce & Laura Heidmann

"Creative worked with us, accommodating our demanding travel schedule. They handled each aspect of the marketing and selling of our property smoothly. They made suggestions at each step of the process that ensured we netted the maximum amount from the transaction. We are very pleased."

- John and Connie Schultz

Creative managed the complex process of organizing and completing the transaction very smoothly. Our travel schedule has us out of town 3 days or more a week, so we relied on Colleen and Anne to identify and resolve issues on our behalf. We are pleased that the sale of our property was concluded in a smooth and professional fashion.

- John and Connie Schultz, Maribel WI

"Tom successfully marketed a property that had both strengths and weaknesses. He clearly communicated the property attributes and helped make the sale happen." Thanks, Susan

The sale of my building began as a casual conversation with a customer - Gary Van Sistine - who is a business broker with Creative Business Brokers. Tom commented: I was planning to sell the building in the future but Gary explained he had two potential buyers now. So one month later we closed the sale...with a full price offer. "I feel like I won the lottery...and I was very pleased with the service!!"

- Tom Klenke/Owner Aim Variety East

I would like to thank Tom Alberts for the great job he did helping us with the acquisition of the former City Hall building in Sturgeon Bay. Any questions we had were answered promptly and all issues related to the transaction were handled very professionally. If something needed to be done he was able to point us in the right direction. I would not hesitate to work with Tom again.

- Kerber, Rose & Associates, S.C.

We would like to thank Tom Alberts for the exceptional service he provided us in the purchase of our first business. With any questions we had at any hour he was easy to reach and got us answers quickly. When the time comes to purchase again we will definitely seek out Tom for his services.

- Fire House Bar/Rob & Nicole Karnopp

A few years back, when we first consulted your firm for the potential sale of our business, we were only lukewarm about really going forward.  At that time, I remember telling my partners that when the time comes to go forward I thought your firm was the route to take.  You had gained our confidence through that brief encounter.  At this later date, our early confidence proved accurate.

I was very pleased with the time Creative Business Brokers took to understand our business. They were able to protect and manage our interests. They were able to market and sell our business in a slow economy and a stressed banking time. I feel their experience and years of dedication transformed our 20 years of hard work into a unique vision of reality for the new owner. Cedar Creek is proud to be associated with Mike and Anne, and want to thank the entire staff of Creative Business Brokers.

I would like to thank Creative Business Brokers and especially Gary Van Sistine.  We contacted Gary Van Sistine indicating we were looking to purchase an existing CPA firm in the area.  Gary was able to find a firm for us; Evans & Race Co.  He was extremely diligent in the back and forth negotiations for our purchasing Evans and Race Co.  He was conscientious in obtaining all records we required and answering any questions we had.  Thanks to Gary's help, we did purchase Evans and Race Co. on September 15, 2008.

Thank you, Tom Alberts, for introducing us to Andre's Food and Spirits.  You were spot on in identifying our needs and your presentation was outstanding.  Your support and excellent service throughout the purchase and negotiation stage was outstanding.  We were blessed having you to represent us.  Although this was a complicated deal, you always stayed the course and never came with a problem always a solution and always a word of encouragement.  Tom, you are obviously a gifted realtor and we know we can recommend you with confidence to anybody in any field.

- Tom and Sonia Hruska

Just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you for all of your help with my recent real estate transactions.  You are a pleasure to work with and did a first class job on everything, before, during, and after the sale.  I will certainly utilize your services in the future and will give you the highest recommendation to anyone looking to buy or sell commercial real estate.  Thanks again.

I want to thank-you from the bottom of my heart for doing such a great job selling Cherryland Motel.  It is a relief to work with a professional that deals with every aspect efficiently and expediently.  I look forward to working with you in the future!  Count on me to refer you to my associates and friends.

We would like to thank Tom Alberts and Bob Wolter for the professional representation they provided for the sale of our property.  It took less than five months from the start of the business analysis and marketing to the final sale of our business.

- Richard and Sandra Weisgerber

Tom Alberts and Bob Wolter remained open, honest, forthright and accessible during the entire commercial real estate acquisition.  Their resources, relationships and experience provided an efficient means to glide through the otherwise cumbersome process.  Tom, Bob and Creative Business Brokers set the bar in the world of commercial real estate.  Thank you for all of your efforts and I hope to continue to work with you in the near future.

I contacted Josh Phillips through a referral from my attorney.  Josh immediately came down and evaluated my real estate and business, and within 1 month was able to secure an offer from a qualified buyer.  Josh worked hard to handle all elements of the transaction.  He is truly a seasoned professional who knows exactly what needs to happen, and when, to make sure a complicated transaction is successful.  When looking to sell your company or real estate, I would highly recommend Josh Phillips.

- Myron Rabinovitz

Both Ken and I were extremely impressed with Josh’s professionalism, and ability to keep the project rolling smoothly.  We knew Josh was extremely qualified from previous references, and he stood up to his reputation by providing over 20 qualified buyers for our company.  Not only did Josh get us top dollar, he also worked with our CPA to save us additional monies.  You only get to sell your company once, so make sure you trust the best.  We would highly recommend Josh Phillips.

- Ken and Nancy Bowman

Mike has assisted us and our company on multiple purchases, including the acquisition of commercial property in Fish Creek, Wisconsin.  While every transaction presented unique challenges, Mike was unflappable in expediting the transactions and bringing each to a successful conclusion. The most accurate testimonial I can put forth is to state, unequivocally, that we would use Mike Schwantes and Creative Business Services in all our future purchase and sales transactions.
