Customer stories

"Terri and her team at Specialty Group successfully sold our neighborhood restaurant relatively quickly, discretely, and at a fair price. With her knowledge and expertise, she quickly identified a qualified buyer and she relentlessly guided the transaction through the maze of financing and licensing. Sidney completed the PLCB transfer quickly and efficiently and everyone at Specialty Group made the entire process seamless. Specialty Group will be my go-to for future transactions!"

Michael McMullen
Andora, Restaurant, Fox Chapel

"It was a pleasure working with Specialty Group. They were very helpful throughout the process of buying Brick & Barrel, and kept the pieces in order and the process moving forward. I would recommend them to anyone!"

Jeffrey Brungo
Brick & Barrel

“What an incredible team! I can’t say enough about Specialty Group. What I perceived to be a potentially overwhelming experience was graciously executed with professionalism and expediency. My most prominent concern was the relationship with the buyer. As intermediary, Specialty Group not only identified the buyer, but cultivated the relationship into a friendship between us. I’m happy to say that the process was swift and precise. I look forward to more opportunities together in the future.”
