What Our Clients Say
"I recently made the huge decision to put my company up for sale and wasn't sure who would represent my interests the best... David's professionalism and genuine interest in researching and understanding our service offerings, production capabilities and client requests was outstanding! Although I knew this process could take many months or up to a year or more, David was able to secure an offer very quickly and handled every aspect of the negotiations and final sale. If you're thinking of selling your company, I can't recommend anyone better than David Heinz."

"I wanted to commend you on the sale of our company. You calculated the selling price, which another broker said was way too high, and you sold Prairie State for full price — the buyer did not counteroffer. And the buyer has been as congenial and professional as you have been, almost like you sent a member of your family to acquire us. Along the way we had many meetings including Zoom, telephone, and in person. At no time did you treat us and the potential buyers with anything but respect and cool, calm reassurances that the issues at hand were resolvable based on your years of experience. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone who might consider using your services. It has been a pleasure working with you."

"Words can't express our gratitude to David, he was there for us every step of the way for our business sale, always answers his phone and emails, on vacation, night day and mornings, he is a true professional. I believe that David is not in business for the money, he is in business to help people. I have worked with a lot of business owners and professionals for the last 20 years and David is in the top 0.05%. Thank you David, we consider you a new friend."

"After owning and running a business for almost 40 years, the decision to sell was not easy. I had initially contacted David Heinz about a year before I was ready to sell, just to get an idea what it would entail. David spent the time discussing the process with me, even though he knew I was not ready at that time. I liked the fact that Heinz Business Group was not a large multi-state business broker, as I felt better attention would be given to my business once ready to sell. And I was not at all disappointed! David proved to be professional and always put my concerns at the forefront of our 'partnership' while selling my company. He consistently acted with integrity throughout the process. I would recommend contacting David for anyone who is looking to sell a business and wants great results!"

"David was very professional and took the time to explain everything throughout the process. He went above and beyond in communicating with all parties, especially toward the end. I can confidently say without his help and involvement, the deal may not have closed. I highly recommend him."

"I worked with David on my business succession and have nothing but good things to say. He is diligent and fair. His first interest is your results. David has much integrity. I recommend his ability and knowledge of his craft."

"I couldn't have done it without you — is the key sentiment as I reflect on my work with David Heinz. Over a two year period David acted as broker in an attempt to sell my travel agency. When we thought there might be a deal, COVID struck. Yet David was steadfast in his commitment to get the job done. His professionalism saw us through. Unequivocally, I would recommend his brokerage services."

"David was a great person to work with, even from my perspective — I was the buyer and David was representing the seller. He provided excellent communication and followed up with me on any concerns I had. He kept it professional during times when emotions were high and he was excellent at moderating our negotiations. I would work with David Heinz in the future."
