Donna's testimonial

" Excellent service from Donna, 5 stars aren't enough. Nothing was too much trouble. If she didn't know, she would find out. If I ever buy a business again, it will be from her."

Daniel - Purchaser

"In June 2023 we contacted Donna Harpur-Swain, ABC Business Sales, to inquire about the possibility of her putting our Te Anau Mitre 10 business on the market for sale.

Over the next several months Donna led us through the process culminating in an offer and unconditional agreement in December 2023.  Throughout this time Donna was very efficient  leading us through the process and keeping us regularly updated and informed.  She visited us for an initial appraisal then on a number of subsequent occasions for marketing and bringing a couple of possible candidates for us to meet and show through the business. 

Donna was always extremely friendly and professional throughout the process.  Selling a Mitre 10 business has its intricacies due to being part of a co-operative and our Support Centre requiring  involvement in many of the decisions and going through a detailed process of ensuring the purchaser was a good fit.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Donna to anyone wishing to sell their business."

 

Neil and Jocelyn Hodges

"From our first meeting with Donna Harpur-Swain, we could not have asked for a more enthusiastic and very professional person. Throughout the whole process of buying the business, Donna was incredibly helpful and nothing was too much. With Donna's extensive knowledge in all aspects it has made this experience a lot easier. We are incredibly grateful for her expertise, professionalism and personal touch throughout this process and would not hesitate to use her in the future."

Chris Trembath and Saskia Govaerts, Blacks Hotel (Purchasers)

"We interviewed five different brokers for the sale of our hotel and Donna was a standout. Her personality, banking experience and work ethic stood out from the crowd, so it wasn’t a hard choice. Donna proved to be a valuable asset to our team, with constant communication, coupled with a brilliant set of skills, we would not have chosen someone else. All in all, she made the selling experience stress free, and smooth. We could not recommend her more."
