What Our Clients Say

“When we needed to sell our business I thought it would be easy.  We had such a clean and profitable business.  After calling Jeff, he got right to work with us. He did not hesitate to meet with us…and has ALWAYS promptly returned my calls.  Most times even after hours, when he is out of town with his Blackberry etc.  Amazing communication; which I needed.  Up front I told Jeff I needed excellent service and he far exceeded what is normal in the service industry. Throughout the process he was always honest, right to the point and understanding with me at the same time.  I don’t know how you do that but it sure was good to have your abilities on my team. Jeff put the stamp on the end of our career and has helped us get the freedom to financially “Fly on the wings of Eagles”

One other thing I would like to mention.  The buyer of our company got huge benefit from Jeff as well.  Jeff was working for us, he never forgot that.  However, in our interest Jeff helped Dave (buyer) tremendously for free.  Jeff helped with Dave’s attorney, banker/lender etc.  The buyer was blessed to have Jeff there for him as well.”
Scott W, CR, X – President, O SO KLEEN Inc.

“When it came to selling my business, it was SO WONDERFUL knowing Jeff was always a phone call away. Selling is a stressful process….he provided clarity and structure the entire time making it bearable. He always had answers from the largest of questions to the smallest. Most importantly he provided peace of mind. Now I can rest easy!

Ann G., Art Rent, Inc.

“After interviewing several brokers, the Exit Strategies process was straight forward and realistic. The marketing was well executed and we received numerous inquiries. Jeff did an excellent job of screening all inquiries to weed out unqualified buyers and help maintain perfect confidentiality. After three months, we had our buyer!

He then devoted energies to ensure a smooth transaction. Finding the buyer is not half the battle- 100’s of details were negotiated, and the deal still need to fund and close. Jeff made certain our efforts were rewarded! I will recommend Exit Strategies every time!”
Mr. Ed Shearer; ServiceMaster of Tigard

“Jeff: What a remarkable human being you are! I must say THANK YOU for all you've done to help me manage through this process. There are few men that I have met that have such honesty and integrity as you. I feel the pressure released and have learned so much. You have been an incredible role model!”
C. Jackson; Silver Plume Imports, Inc.

“Working with Jeff has been the most enjoyable experience of my business life. He has lifted the weight of selling my business from my shoulders to squarely on his own. He even surrounded me with the best financial and legal advisors to ensure a smooth transition. List your business with him and you can feel assured you will be listing with the finest." - Dr. Steven J. Sorensen; Todays Family Dentistry

"I could tell right away things were going to be different with Jeff. It was refreshing to get the truth about how selling a business was a process......that in order for it to be a successful one, there was a detailed, step by step plan that we needed to follow. Jeff was very knowledgeable on possible sale scenarios, and more importantly.....he delivered as promised."
Mr. Rob Russell; Accurate Auto

“Thanks so much for your professionalism. Picking a professional to handle the sale of our company was like rolling the dice.....but we could not have imagined a more pleasant selling process. You do what you say,think of problems before they occur, and your efficient process protected us in every way. Mary and I cannot say enough about you and Exit Strategies. We can now retire! “
Mr. Scott Thompson; Columbia Pacific Auto Adjustment

"I wanted to sell my business- but how? Once Jeff explained the process, he took charge and handled the thousands of details from A-Z. Obviously the process works, a few months later the business was sold within dollars of our asking price! Thanks Jeff, it couldn't have been easier."
Mr. Brad Warren; Invision Exhibits

"You made the process of buying a business easier than buying our house. Marnie and I would not have expected so much from a selling broker. You really went above and beyond your call of duty for us. We sure appreciate your efficiency and integrity throughout this buying experience.”
Michael and Marnie Rubrecht; Buyers

"I've never worked with anybody who knew exactly where I was at with my business.....both emotionally and financially. Jeff always does what he says, and without a doubt is looking out for my best interests. He has now helped me with two businesses, and when I'm ready to sell this one, he'll get the call!"
Sheila Scott; Restaurant Owner

"Jeff, you've now sold two of my businesses over the past year and I can't thank you enough. You know I'm a little old fashioned and would rather work on a hand-shake than a contract.....you are one of the few left who could work the same way. You never lied to me, were always on time, and did what you said you would. You and the level of service you offer are extrordinary in this day and age. Peggy and I are now retired and enjoying every second of it. Thanks so much.....it was an absolute pleasure.”
 Roger and Peggy Brindle; Double J Horse Trailer

“I have had the pleasure of financing several business acquisitions where Jeff Kraai of Exit Strategies, Inc. was the business broker. Selling a business can be a complicated and emotionally draining endeavor, with many ups and downs. In my opinion, Jeff Kraai is an exceptional performer in this field. He is highly competent and professional, as well as being a very pleasant person to work with. I recommend Jeff to anyone considering the sale of their business.”
