My business was recently sold with very capable help from Eric Seifert/ Left Coast Business Brokers. I've known Eric since we were babies. Somewhere there is a picture of us at a birthday party when we were three years old.

I became a silkscreen printer and Eric graduated from University of Michigan. He became a well-respected business banker and prolific businessman selling windsurfers. He has seen many business plans.. He knows what it takes to create and run a business.

Eric is smart and is user friendly for the seller and buyer to work with. He is a good communicator and stands up for you and your business. He earned the respect of all the professionals we worked with.

Selling your business is a hard and complicated decision to make. I'm very happy with the way Eric guided us through this transition.

Working with Eric Seifert-Left Coast Business Brokers and Jack Snyder was such a positive experience from start to finish. Selling my business was no small task—it wasn’t the easiest business to match with a buyer—but Eric and Jack put in the time, energy, and creativity to make it happen. He really explored every possible opportunity, and didn’t stop until we found the right fit.

They kept me informed at every stage, explained things clearly, and always made sure I felt comfortable with the next steps. Whenever challenges came up, Eric stayed calm and persistent, always coming back with a new angle or solution. Another thing that stood out was how much they genuinely cared about getting the best outcome. It didn’t feel like I was just another deal; they really took the time to understand my business, its strengths, and its quirks, and then communicated that value to potential buyers. That personal touch made a big difference.

In the end, they got the job done, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. If you’re looking to sell your business, I would absolutely recommend Eric and Left Coast Business Brokers. They’re hardworking, professional, and committed to seeing it through.

Selling my business was a big decision, and I am grateful I had Eric Seifert and Frank Cobb by my side throughout the process. They were professional, easy to work with, and brought calm confidence to every step. Their extensive knowledge of the documentation needed made the process smooth and efficient, and they ensured all the right protections were in place – including a signed non-disclosure to safeguard sensitive information.

One of the things that stood out most was their access to a large pool of prospective buyers. Because of that, we were able to move forward quickly with serious, qualified interest.

If you are considering selling your business, I highly recommend working with Eric Seifert and Frank Cobb. Their experience and professionalism made all the difference.

The day I met Eric and Left Coast Business Brokers was the beginning of a tremendous relationship that has allowed me to grow and prosper here in my hometown. His assistance in helping me sell my portion of a business I helped build was invaluable, and I continue to benefit from the guidance and insight he has provided over the last fourteen years. Likewise, he was also absolutely indispensable in helping me negotiate the acquisition and acquire the capital needed for the purchase of my current business. In all circumstances, Eric and Left Coast have provided a firm and steady hand on the wheel through several delicate negotiations during that time, and I have only the highest trust and regard for him. I would unequivocally endorse Left Coast Business Brokers to anyone who was looking to either buy or sell a business and believe that your experience will be as positive as mine".

Eric took the time to truly listen and understand my vision for the future of my company and what I hoped the ideal buyer could achieve. Leveraging his expertise and extensive network, Eric discreetly identified and vetted potential buyers, presenting several serious offers. Throughout the process, he maintained clear and consistent communication, addressing all my questions and concerns while keeping me informed every step of the way.

Within a reasonable timeframe, Eric found the perfect buyer, negotiated a fair price, and guided me through due diligence right up to closing. I had spoken with other brokers before deciding to work with Left Coast Brokers, but as a small business owner, I felt most comfortable knowing I would be working directly with Eric rather than being handed off to a team in a larger firm.

At the time, I was confident I made the right decision. Now, three years later, as I watch the new owner successfully grow the business my family built and nurtured for 30 years, I know without a doubt that choosing Eric as my broker was the best choice I could have made.

"Before working with Eric Seifert and Frank Cobb, I spoke with other brokers, but none truly understood what I was looking for. Selling my family’s tire business (Carter Tire)—started by my father decades ago—wasn’t just about the numbers. It was about finding the right buyer who would carry on the business with the same values and commitment to service that built it. Eric and Frank got that right away.

They took the time to learn about our business and what mattered to me, ensuring we found buyers who shared our vision. Throughout the process, whenever obstacles arose, they remained steady and reassuring, always keeping me focused on the bigger picture. Their experience, patience, and guidance made all the difference. Thanks to them, our business is now in the hands of another family-owned company that will continue its legacy.

Deciding to sell was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made, but looking back, I know it was the right one. I’m now enjoying life to the fullest, and I’m grateful to Eric and Frank for helping me get here. I highly recommend them to any business owner thinking about selling."

Eric has been a valued resource in the sale of our business. His insights, experience, opinions and guidance were a huge factor in helping us understand the process of selling our business and guiding us along the way. I would not hesitate to recommend Eric to anyone thinking of selling or buying a business, or financing such a deal.

Steve Miller, Optimistic Properties

I've had the pleasure to work with Eric for many years. Eric is consummate professional who is knowledgeable and detail-oriented. In addition to his very strong financial background, Eric has excellent soft skills which allow him to deeply understand his clients and, no doubt, allow him to negotiate transactions successfully. Eric is a highly ethical person that I recommend regularly.
