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.

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."
