• Experience with the Marketing and Sale of Restaurant Operations.

We are knowledgeable in the processes necessary to promote an efficient
sale at the highest reasonable price. While our fees are paid by the seller, our agents
will confidently represent the interests of everyone. We represent all facts,
and only facts that can be substantiated. We negotiate with certainty based on
our experience, integrity and analysis. We work with all clients to build a great future
for their new business, as well as continuing to generate an excellent reputation
for our business with fair and honest dealing.


• Experience in the Food Service Industry

The managing partners of Atlanta Restaurant Exchange have been owners and operators
of Food Establishments that range from Coffee Houses, cafes and Quick Service
Restaurants to Up-market Themed Full Service Restaurants. Our agents have a background
in the Business as well. This familiarity with the business and the owners of restaurants
allows us to begin our relationship with a high level of trust, since we are communicating
on the same experienced level.

This affords our staff a unique perspective in evaluating and marketing your business.
Enabling our firm to represent you as either seller or in finding the perfect location for a buyer in
a more confident and efficient way.


• Analytic capabilities unique to Restaurants
and Food Service Establishments

Our partners and staff members have backgrounds in both finance and banking
with combined experience exceeding Fifty years. As a result we have
the capability of analyzing and valuing your Business in a Professional manner
that conforms to ordinary institutional practice and standards and detects every
value that you may have to include as an asset in your sale.

This assures our clients that the properties we represent are valued
at a reliable price, reasonable and fair to both Buyers and Sellers,
thereby avoiding the pitfalls of overvaluation and the unfortunate consequences
of undervaluation.

We therefore work with the seller to establish a fair and equitable price
for both parties to the transaction. Good valuation by an experienced agent promotes a quick sale
and satisfaction for the seller, and a road to success for the buyer.


• Experience in Real Estate

Our agents are real estate agents and brokers licensed in Georgia and North Carolina.

Every salesperson has met the educational requirements of the
Georgia Real Estate Commission and posess a current license.

Knowledge of Contract law as well as due diligence requirements
will assure a sucessful transition and an on time closing.

• Understanding of the Concerns and Needs of both Sellers and Buyers.

Both sellers and buyers have concerns that are first of all unique to a
Particular property and more generally, the Industry as a whole.

Our staff understands these concerns and works diligently to address them
as early as possible; many of them have confronted these concerns
in the past, both for themselves and for clients.

We feel strongly that our empathy with the buyers and sellers enables
us to serve both as efficiently as possible. Both can enter the transaction
with confidence and assurance.


• Accountability in Selling Your Restaurant

Regular updates on the progress of a sale are a part of our business routine.
We keep in close contact with our clients assuring them that they are being represented
in the most effective manner possible. Weekly contact with clients builds confidence
and keeps closing issues from becoming last minute problems.


• Integrity: Service is our only product.

Service without integrity is no service at all. Clients must be able to rely on our agency and
on those who represent them honestly and fairly. Our reputation for square dealing
is unparalleled. We handle our client's properties as if they were our own.

business opportunity. The success of a new owner is a benefit to everyone concerned.


• Attention to Details and Follow Through

The sale or purchase of an exisiting or new business is complex and detailed.
We attempt to relieve the client of as much of that burden as possible. We assist
in the daunting task of organizing a balance sheet and locating the documentation
necessary to ensure a sucessful evaluation to present to prospective buyers.
Our attorneys are thoroughly versed in the documentation necessary
to promote a quick and smooth closing and to protect the interests of all parties.
Our attorneys are a neutral third party, who represent the interest of the transition
and documentation which protects the seller and the buyer.
Following though and insuring the proper closing and turnover is a big part of our service.
