“It is obvious to me why Fox & Fin is Arizona’s #1 merger and acquisition firm: Their skill and service are clearly superior. ... In the end, we received “full appraised value” for Mission Hardwood. ... Even after the deal was closed and they had received their commission, Jim [Afinowich] and Lance [Meilech] remained involved to help me deal with the multitude of issues that came up after the sale. Fox & Fin, Lance Meilech and Jim Afinowich have my highest recommendation, and I remain grateful for their excellent work on my behalf.”

Your company did a great job for us … By your screening of potential buyers, you eliminated the otherwise probability of my fuel distribution personal friends becoming disturbed by myself directly eliminating them from serious consideration. Further, your knowledge of the market probably resulted in obtaining a substantially higher price.

At the time of major decision making regarding the sale of our fuel oil and heating divisions, your firm was recommended by a respected business in our area which had just gone through the same process…After a very short period you came back with a qualified buyer at a price which was more than expected.

Thank you for guiding me through one of the most important transactions in my life. As you know, my emotions were all over the place and I could not have handled that sale without your expert, calm guidance.

"The support and business experience I received from the team at IBG/Fox & Fin was nothing short of miraculous. Time and time again, over several years, Bruce Black and Jim Afinowich provided exceptional guidance, insights and direction, along with a well-defined process, which allowed us to achieve a much better outcome that I could have ever imagined. I feel so blessed to have worked with IBG to represent me and my family in the sale of our business."
