“Pointe Mergers & Acquisitions was the perfect consulting firm for our exit plan. My wife and I had owned our Chevrolet dealership for over 35 years, and we were ready for the next chapter in our lives. After multiple referrals from attorneys and CPAs, we contacted David Melton about our selling plans. We had two issues because we owned the dealership and additional property. After doing our research, we discovered David was one of the few dealership M&A advisors licensed to sell real estate. This was a great benefit to us when it came down to valuing both investments. David had prepared us for a long process but said we only needed one person to fall in love with our opportunity. He was right; it wasn’t easy, and we had a few disappointments along the way, but David was available to us 24/7, even when he was with his family on vacation. We had multiple buyers along the way, and unfortunately, things happened, and it took almost a year to sell. For us, David was a blessing through his encouragement and helping us along the long path. Ultimately, we found the perfect buyer, sold for the original asking price, and made a few friends along the way. I consider David Melton our friend for life and could not recommend him enough to someone considering selling their business.”

“It is with great pleasure that I recommend David Melton to you. Recently we decided that we needed to sell one of our dealerships that was a little too far away for us to operate in the manner we expect. We spoke to a half dozen brokers and after talking to David on multiple occasions, we decided that he would be our best bet to sell the store in a timely fashion due to his personality and wide range of contacts and reach. We choose properly as David had our Jeep – Chrysler – Dodge – Ram Dealership in front of a qualified buyer within days and within two and a half months’ time – Sold and in the capable hands of the new dealer!
David Melton was there for us as well as the buyer throughout the process. He is very patient, knowledgeable, fair and pleasant to work and speak with…”

“Mr. David Melton was fantastic through the entire process of our purchase of a dealership in Grove City, Pa. We had quite a few hurdles during the due-diligence period. With all the laws and regulations that the manufacture, state, county, and township put in your way to conduct and purchase a business, Mr. Melton was an invaluable resource with his experience and knowledge. Having run dealerships, himself Mr. Melton is the perfect broker to provide realistic in-depth view of any store. He can break down a statement at a level that not many can. I would highly recommend Mr. Melton to anyone who is considering selling or buying a store. Being in our position running and owning a dealership it is difficult to find people to talk to about market conditions, real estate, and expectations etc. Mr. Melton was that person for me. I now call Mr. Melton a friend and look forward to working with him in the future!”

“This is my first dealership purchase utilizing a broker. I had concerns if this would make the deal too complex. But like anything else, if you do business with great people, the outcome is always great! David and his team were fantastic. Total and complete transparency. David answered his cell phone EVERY time I called and worked extremely hard for seller AND buyer to make a fair and simple transaction. David was there every step of the way and personally saw the closing through until the last document was signed. Very impressed with the company and most importantly, David. I made a deal and I made a friend. Many more to follow. Call me personally for a reference”

“David Melton is fantastic. From the first day we met David through the closing, he was terrific to deal with and handheld us through the process. David worked tirelessly to find us the right buyer, and once we discovered that the buyer was constantly communicating with their owner to ensure a smooth purchase and transition. David set realistic expectations throughout the process and far exceeded those expectations, including the time to find the buyer. He could keep the listing discreet, which was our primary concern. David also helped us in every aspect, including making sure we received the full value of our business. Selling a dealership during COVID was not easy. We cannot thank David enough for his help and guidance throughout the entire process. He made this a very profitable and smooth sale.”

“Dear David, thank you so much for finding me a qualified buyer so quickly. One of my major goals was to have a buyer that would continue what my family built over 59 years. The buyer is truly that person. From our first meeting to the sale of my dealership, everything went extremely well and all of us got along great! The pricing structure was right on target and your fee was very fair. Maybe even more than fair due to the short time from start to finish. You understood it was a big step for me and you were patient on my decision. You were very professional, excellent on communication, quick and very helpful. It was a real pleasure working with you.”

His calm demeanor helped reduce the sense of urgency and panic when things weren’t going well, precisely what your advisor wants! David also never misled or falsely advertised my dealership.
