It is important to Carol and I that we take the time to extend to you our gratitude for all your professionalism, patients and friendship in dealing with us in the sale of our supermarket.

My husband and I recently sold our Business through Ian Salter at Benchmark. From the start to finish Ian was always available and guiding us through the process ensuring we had everything in place for a potential buyer at the beginning and then guiding us through the sale he always kept us up to date with the progress of the sale whether it be a phone call a text or an email. His professionalism was outstanding and knowledge of the whole process was extremely helpful to have Ian's guidance in the process to the day of settlement. I can't recommend Ian's services highly enough. Thank you Ian and will definitely use your services again in the near future. -Donna Carroll | June 2022  Ian Salter receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.

Seller , 29 Sep 2020 She was the obvious choice when I decided to sell due to family commitments and she stepped up straight away. She had a lot of the paperwork still on file and quickly moved to finding a buyer. The buyer made an offer and I accepted – then Covid-19 hit! Due to the uncertainty the buyer pulled out. Nikki advised that she would return her deposit but would speak to her when everything calmed down. Nikki re-engaged the buyer, the buyer agreed to proceed and Nikki reinstated the contract.  The outcome was that my salon sold yesterday and I am delighted. Nikki did an excellent job at keeping the buyer updated and she assessed the timing perfectly to resurrect the deal AND got me a great result too! If I had another broker working on this (with less skill and experience), I am not sure the outcome would have been the same. Delighted!

“Wow wow wow they truly are the best in the business. Benchmark delivered record sales on two of my best stores and were an absolute delight to deal with. 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. They had the buyer straight away and we put two of my sites to contract and managed the entire process which involved lease negotiable, name agreement, product distribution contracts and so much more. Benchmark are full service brokers and go above and beyond. Yes I'm impressed!” - Chernae Noonan - Seller | 25 Jun 2019 John Kasapi receives another Benchmark Business Sales Review.
