Fast forward another 4 years from that day and I went back to John who finally got my business sold. Benchmark are expensive but I truly got the best service and thanks to the Benchmark salon team for their diligent management of the process.

My sale was a seamless and I can definitely see why they are the best in the country. When it's time to sell my chain there I will be calling Benchmark.

I can now see why John Kasapi is the best business broker in the country. He it truly outstanding at what he does and how he delivers amazing service. It is impressive to see how easily he made the sale go so smoothly. His pro-active approach was refreshing – not once did I have to ring him to find out what was happening with the process. He would even call me to touch base if he didn’t have an update – just to keep in touch! I’m also buying another salon business at the moment though a different business broker and I can see the difference between the two is so wide. I have dealt with a few different business brokers over the past few months, and some have actually lost their client a potential sale due to lack of communication. I still have not completed the other business purchase yet which was started 6 weeks before this one. I can understand that John really has the process down pat and just makes it so easy to move through the many steps that need to be completed. When I am ready to purchase another business in the next 6 months I will not hesitate to work with John again. Thanks John! John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

"Sold sold sold at long last!!! From contract to settlement was 3 weeks which was really quick however before that we attempted to sell the business over a year ago and that didn’t work out at all well. But I’m thankful I used John 2nd time around to get the business finally over the line. I could not believe how hard these things are to sell and I can’t believe it’s finally happened, Im so happy now. If it wasn’t for John, who knows where this deal would have ended up especially with difficult lawyers involved.  I really do not know how John does it, thank god it's over." - Sean Skeffington | 06 Feb 2020 John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

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.
