“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.”
