I spoke to John a few years ago and when it was time to sell, I immediately reached out to him. We listed and sold in a very short period and he had the perfect buyer ready to go. As we approached settlement, the buyer communicated to me that they were in the process of purchasing another business with a different broker. The buyer was highly impressed and appreciative that our transaction transpired so quickly and seamlessly. This was down to John’s efficiency, management and expertise. John was outstanding and an absolute pleasure to work with. He achieved a phenomenal price, and an amazing result! -Jayne Fenton | March 2022 John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

Kate Mcdonald , 01 Apr 2018 I recently returned from living overseas and I knew I wanted to jump straight into running my own business. I came across an advertisement on the benchmark website and the broker so easy to talk to. He showed me a number of salons and when I finally made the decision to buy and I stepped into the business I knew It was meant to be!! We had a quite few issues to overcome but when the going got tough Benchmark was always at the end of the phone helping the process along and answering all my questions, this is the start of my business empire!!! Thanks Benchmark.
