ZOOMIES DOG DAYCARE & RESORT

I acquired my business through Sam Goldenberg in Santa Fe recently. It was a great experience as a buyer. I have worked with many brokers over the last several years and I can honestly say my experience with Sam Gondenberg – Carlos & Erika – was the most professional and pleasant experience I have had. I would love to work with them again.

Stephen B. Biles, Buyer

ZOOMIES DOG DAYCARE & RESORT

I recently sold my business through this broker and I could not have been more pleased. They found a buyer within a couple weeks and handled all the due diligence and info requests, just passing along what was needed directly from me which allowed me to continue focusing on the business. I worked with Carlos and Erika and they were thoroughly professional and just made the entire process as pleasant as possible. Highly recommended.

Andrew Imrie, Seller

SOILUTIONS

We were drawn to Sam Goldenberg & Associates based on their reputation, and after our initial meeting with Michael and Erika, we were impressed with their professionalism and kindness. We liked the fact that they would list our company not only in New Mexico but beyond our borders, with a focus on finding the right match for our company, better ensuring the success of the new owners going forward.

Erika was patient and understanding of the complexities of preparing for a sale while keeping the business going. She always kept us informed about what was next and when to expect it. Erika was able to keep our interests in mind but not at the expense of the buyers, offering fair solutions to the many decisions that had to be made.

For these, and many other reasons, we are very happy to have chosen Sam Goldenberg and Associates and highly recommend them! As soon as Covid-19 restrictions are lifted, we look forward to celebrating the success of the sale, and to express our gratitude in person.

SHER-WOOD FINE WOOD DESIGN

As purchasers of Sher-wood Fine Wood Designs in Las Cruces, NM, we were tremendously impressed with the professional assistance of Sam Goldenberg & Associates in their representation of the Seller. Michael and Erika went way above and beyond the call of duty and were tremendously supportive, creative and helpful in bringing a process to a close, even though we were all challenged more than normal due to the Covid 19 situation. Michael’s knowledge of the business, the business community in New Mexico, and industry knowledge was very helpful in structuring a situation that we believe is a “win win” for both buyer and seller. We would highly recommend Sam Goldenberg & Associates to anyone interested in buying or selling a business in New Mexico.

David Rees, Buyer, Sher-Wood Fine Wood Design

SHER-WOOD FINE WOOD DESIGN

Michael is not only a pleasure to work with but truly a master of his craft! He has extensive knowledge of the New Mexico market, local lenders and knows his clients very well, which is why we acquired two of his listings over 12 months. Recently, Michael was able to help us and his client navigate an M&A transaction throughout the COVID crisis, which we closed in late 2020. I would be happy to recommend Michael and his team to anyone who wants to sell or buy a business!

David Fair
Buyer, Sher-Wood Fine Wood Design

SHER-WOOD FINE WOOD DESIGN

It has been a pleasure working with Michael and Erika. They are very knowledgeable in what they do. I learned a lot from Michael as we went about the process. I always felt that Michael and Erika were on my team and looking out for my best interests. They gave me confidence as we worked on the process. Any time I had questions, or just didn’t see something clearly, Michael explained things in a clear manner. Our journey had some unknowns as we navigated this while we were dealing with Covid, but the SGA team worked through the challenges and helped us get to the finish line.

THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE

After almost 15 successful years in business we thought it was time for new opportunities. During discussions with Michael Greene, owner of Sam Goldenberg & Associates, he convinced me of the value of our companies and to trust his company with the confidential sale of our publication brand. He and his Senior Account Manager, J. Erika Munde assisted me and the current owner on a daily basis throughout the process—completing the transaction successfully even during the Covid pandemic, allowing us to receive our expected valuation price through creative strategies. We would recommend Sam Goldenberg & Associates whole-heartedly.

OLO YOGURT STUDIO

SGA has been nothing but professional, kind and patient with our acquisition process. Erika, Kandice & Michael have treated us with the utmost respect throughout the year long journey that we have been working with them. Despite hundreds of questions, long conversations and a delayed lending process, SGA provided all of the tools and assistance required for our business acquisition, and they did it quite graciously. Buying and selling businesses isn’t easy and SGA doesn’t pretend it is, but they sure do make you feel comfortable during the ups and downs. Last but not least, Erika put together the most lovely closing afternoon tea for us that we will never forget.

FUN CENTER MOTORSPORTS OF DURANGO, CO

It has been 4 years since the sale of our business. We were reluctant to give our referral until we were satisfied with the continued success of the business. Finding the perfect new owners for our business was very important to us. Michael accomplished that and much more. The dealership has continued to be a success, with proud employees and happy customers. The very act of keeping the listing and sale confidential was crucial. Our experience with the whole process was professional but laid back and comfortable. This was definitely a WIN WIN for us. We highly recommend Michael and his staff. They are truly professional brokers and very knowledgeable in our area.

SANTA FE CIDER WORKS

Sam Goldenberg & Associates was extremely helpful for our first small business purchase! They guided us through all legal requirements and ensured successful seller/buyer interaction, especially Erika Munde. Since we started the process from overseas, evaluation and coordination from a different country provided a daunting endeavor. The patience and expertise of the broker team gave us the confidence needed to work through the complexities of such a detailed transaction. They continue to provide us post-sale advisement and we would recommend them to everyone and all levels of business sales.

STAG TOBACCONIST

I would like to thank Michael Green and the entire staff of Sam Goldenberg & Associates for professionally handling the sale of Stag Tobacconist in Santa Fe. After being in business for over 40 years, the thought of selling our business was a very difficult decision. I must say Michael and his staff did an unbelievable job in managing not only the difficult process of the sale, but dealing with two very nervous owners. I cannot thank you and your staff enough for making the entire process as smooth as possible. I would highly recommend any business owner thinking of selling their business to look very closely at the services of your firm. Knowledge, professionalism, patience, and commitment are just a few of the words I would use to describe the entire staff at Sam Goldenberg & Associates. Thank you once again from the bottom of our hearts for being the best at what you do!

GALISTEO BISTRO | TRATTORIA A MANO

Goldenberg & Associates, led by Michael Greene & staff, was instrumental in our acquiring Galisteo Bistro, now Trattoria A Mano, in Santa Fe, first guiding us through the complexities of a business acquisition as buyers, then guiding a sale some years later plus a buyback when the new owners decided to move on. Then we tasked the company to again sell our business a second time some years later. Through it all, Michael & staff were seasoned advocates for both buyer and seller, demonstrating a clear understanding of the priorities of the parties, and serving as mediators and expeditors of a successful closing each time.

The complexities of doing business in Santa Fe are multi-layered. Michael and his staff were able to guide the parties through the process with professional integrity and compassion for the mutual interests in order to reach satisfaction for the parties, achieving a balance between expectations and the realities, especially so with valuations and the mediation of various interests as offers were presented.

It is rare to deal with a brokerage that has such a deep understanding of competing interests. Their ability to bring the parties together for mutual benefit, including that of the brokerage in its professional responsibilities, is extraordinary. We greatly appreciate their advocacy in the best interests of all parties.

Robert Chickering
Seller of Galisteo Bistro

We have purchased two businesses, bought a commercial compound and leased to other locations in five separate transaction through Michael Greene and Sam Goldenberg & Associates.

XITECH INSTRUMENTS, INC.

Sam Goldenberg and Associates has been a wonderful business broker with which to work. The marketing materials to sell our business were excellent. We felt totally supported and trusted that we were treated fairly as were the buyers. We interviewed two other business brokers and felt that Sam Goldenberg and Associates far outranked them in services and personal interaction.

Working with the team at Goldenberg was a dream collaboration. With varying and complementary skills, Juliette the documentarian, Erika the wordsmith and matchmaker, Michael the closer, they were able to conjure our business for prospective buyers with great insight and enthusiasm.

IT FIRM IN NORTHERN NEW MEXICO

I had such a wonderful experience with Sam Goldenberg & Associates in Santa Fe. They made the process smooth and easy for all parties involved with the transaction. Michael, Erika, and Juliet are a dream to work with. I never thought that this process could be so easy, but it was because we were working with such an amazing team.

Both Juliette and Michael were courteous, professional, and extremely easy to deal with. They made what seemed to be a difficult process look easy. I honestly don’t know if I would have closed on this business had I used anyone else. If you are in the market to buy or sell a business, don”t look anywhere else!

EDIBLE ARRANGEMENTS IN ALBUQUERQUE

Selling a business is a complicated task with many in-depth details and issues for the seller and the buyer. In our case, we had absolutely no experience with what is involved in selling a business. Sunbelt New Mexico led by Michael Greene did an excellent job negotiating the sale of our company, from beginning to closing.

We had decided to sell our S-Corporation business via a Stock Purchase Agreement. This also included the sale of the assets of our Edible Arrangements store. Since we were part of a franchise organization, this added yet another level of complexity in dealing with the myriad requirements from Edible Arrangements Corporate. There were many in-depth negotiations between the three parties. I can say without hesitation, that Michael Greene was extremely able and sensitive in handling these talks. In addition, Sunbelt New Mexico did an excellent in-depth analysis of our company’s value, resulting in a final sales price that was equitable for both us and the buyer. If you are considering selling your business, you will be in good hands with Sunbelt New Mexico.

BHAVA YOGA STUDIO

From our first meeting, I knew that the Michael, Juliette and the team at Sunbelt New Mexico were the right brokers for selling my business. Not only did they understood my small yoga studio, but they understood me and my vision for its transition. Although Bhava Yoga Studio is a small independent business, this was a challenging sale. Their personal support and sound counsel were always there for me, and often in big ways! For intelligent guidance and the peace of mind gained from working with experts you can trust, Sunbelt New Mexico is your team.

EDEN MEDISPA

Thanks to Michael Greene, buying a business proved easier than buying a house and it accelerated the growth of our existing medical practice by five years. We inherited a trained and motivated staff, a large client base, and a volume of business that better utilizes our space.

When Sunbelt New Mexico first approached us about this opportunity, we originally did not see what we had to gain. We were already growing strongly in the same market. After discussions with Michael and studying the Confidential Business Review, we realized it was a golden opportunity. Within days of deciding to move forward, we had a signed agreement. Several times during the negotiations, the deal seemed about to fall apart. Michael’s calm demeanor and soothing “voice of reason” kept everyone together to close the deal on time with terms that were fair for all.

Dr. Kristen L. Biggs, MD, RPVI, RPhS, FACS and Jonathan Deming
Buyers of Eden Medispa

As the owner and medical director of two successful and growing medical practices, it became increasingly challenging to meet the needs of both. My women’s healthcare practice Santa Fe Ob/Gyn needed the space then used by Eden MediSpa to accommodate its growth.

At first I tried to sell this medical aesthetic practice myself, little realizing it equated to taking on a third job. I turned to Michael Greene and his team at Sunbelt New Mexico. Excluding the clinical space would be a challenge, but I firmly believed the value of this asset paled in comparison to Eden’s highly qualified staff, large established client base, advanced medical equipment, and rock solid history of growth.

Michael and I were on the same page. His team put together an attractive and comprehensive buyer’s package, personally reached out to doctors and nurse practitioners in the field, generated interest, and secured a full-price offer four months after it had gone on the market.

With a short closing time and numerous issues to work through, Michael became personally involved. He guided us through the process, explained our options at each juncture, thoughtfully listened to my concerns, and helped untangle any potential obstructions. His experience in working with both sides of a transaction kept the relationships harmonious and minimized the stress. We arrived at the closing table as scheduled. Their last deliverable – a well-organized digital and a bound book of all the closing documents – was the final evidence of Sunbelt New Mexico’s professionalism.

KATRINAH’S EAST MOUNTAIN GRILL

When I first considered selling my small restaurant located in an obscure New Mexico town it seemed about as likely as getting paid for serving cold enchiladas – never going to happen. Fortunately for me Michael and Juliette and the others at Sam Goldenberg and Associates knew what they were doing. They advertised and sold the business without spooking our close-knit community, my customers or employees. If they can sell my business, they can sell yours.

LIMONATA ITALIAN STREET FOOD CAFE-COFFEE SHOP

Selling a business can be tough and stressful. Choosing SGA to assist us with the sale of our coffee shop was the smart thing to do.

Not only were Michael Greene and his team fast, professional and efficient, they found a buyer for our business in 2 very short months. The sale was closed and finalized a month after that and for the amount we expected.

SGA stayed on top of things all along. They handled every aspect of this deal like pros. They made the valuation, marketing, and buyer/seller communication easy for us. Daily updates from Juliette kept us comfortable at all time. I mean this when I say that this transaction was as easy as listing and selling a house with a real estate agency.

Thank you SGA. We will surely come to you again for our future business needs.

Maxime and Daniela Bouneou

CAPITOL COMPUTER AND NETWORK SOLUTIONS

After 25 years of “doing the corporate thing” my wife and I wanted to finally choose our place to live and manage our own business…instead of being managed by a corporation and living where they told us to live.

We knew Santa Fe was the place and we found Michael Greene and the team at Sam Goldenberg & Associates (SGA) to be not only the Gateway to The Land of Enchantment but also the Gateway to the Santa Fe Business Community.

After initial telephone conversations with Michael, we met face-to-face in his Santa Fe office and discussed in detail my interests, goals, and desires regarding business ownership in Santa Fe. We found Michael to be focused first on finding the right fit for us – something we greatly appreciated. Only after Michael got to know my wife and I did he discuss in detail several potential opportunities.

After proper due diligence, we chose to move forward with the acquisition of Capitol Computer of Santa Fe. Michael and the SGA team were masterful at guiding us through the process, navigating any issues, and bridging differences between buyer and seller. They are true professionals who easily balance “doing the deal” with ensuring the deal is right for those involved.

Now as a resident of Santa Fe and a member of the business community, I can highly recommend Michael and the team at SGA as extraordinary partners to help buy or sell a business. I now consider Michael a friend, neighbor, and mentor – he is that good.

AMAZING PAIN-LESS

When I decided to purchase a business, I was frequently checking all the brokers’ websites for an opportunity. I inquired about a business listed at Sam Goldenberg & Associates, and was invited into the office to meet the Goldenberg team. At the meeting, they found out a bit more about me, and what I was looking for in a business. That day, I was presented with four potential opportunities that met my criteria. Luckily, one of them panned-out, and I am now the new owner of Amazing Pain-Less! It was very easy working with the Goldenberg team and they facilitated a very smooth and “fun” closing transaction! I would highly recommend the Goldenberg team if you are buying or selling a business.

Mary Elliott
Buyer of Amazing Pain-Less

Over eight months, Juliette and Michael at Sam Goldenberg & Associates fed us a constant stream of inquiries to purchase our business – nearly one a week. Their marketing was terrific. They steered us safely away from a risky situation right into the arms of an absolutely perfect buyer. We are thrilled. It’s a dream come true to see our work continue in such capable, caring hands. We’ve bought one business and sold two with Sam Goldenberg & Associates. We are very satisfied customers.

UNDERPINNINGS

Sometimes in life you just make the right turn! That turn for me was searching “small business for sale in NM”. That search led me to Sam Goldenberg & Associates and a new and exciting adventure in life. That’s the short story, the long story is that the expertise, professionalism and exceptionally personable staff at Sam Goldenberg & Associates were knowledgeable, experienced and capable in handling every challenge and detail that arose during the process of purchasing my new business. I felt I was in good hands with them from day one. The entire team went above and beyond to help facilitate the transaction and accomplish the final goal.

Dessie Nix
Buyer of Underpinnings

I have had the good fortune of working with Sam Goldenberg & Associates twice; first as the buyer and later as the seller of Underpinnings. The staff at SGA handled both transactions with the utmost professionalism. They keep both the buyer and seller informed of every step along the way and are well prepared to handle any issues that may arise. I highly recommend SGA whether you are buying or selling a business.

SAN MARCOS CAFE & FEED STORE

My husband and I looked for a business for sale for a few years and finally saw something very interesting in Santa Fe. We contacted the broker, Sam Goldenberg and Associates, just to make a casual inquiry. From the very first call, Michael Greene and his staff were courteous and prompt. The Sam Goldenberg team gave us great information, encouragement and technical assistance as we made our way through the sometimes long and complicated process. Their years of experience helping guide buyers and sellers through the purchase agreement, loan and inspection processes were evident from the beginning. Michael helped us keep the final goal in mind and often said “Soon you will actually live here and the business will be yours.” And he was right, here we are!

GREENBERG FINE ART GALLERY

You know the enjoyment one has when you watch a gymnast execute a perfect ten?

My wife and I were looking to acquire an art gallery business in Santa Fe. Though we had evaluated over a half dozen galleries over an equal number of years, we had yet to find one that measured up. Then we came upon a promising listing at Michael Greene’s firm for a gallery on Canyon Road.

I have been involved in buying and selling businesses for most of my career and am aware of the usual issues and problems involved. I greatly enjoyed watching Michael’s thorough understanding and mastery of the deal making process. How to manage the flow; how to navigate the pitfalls; and how to “nudge” the negotiations to a successful conclusion.

Egos and expectations can derail even a mutually beneficial sale or acquisition of a business. If one wants to successfully complete a transaction, in a world of egos and unrealistic expectations, it helps to have professional guides. The knowledge and finesse that Michael and his firm brought to our transaction was right up there with the best I have known.

I thank Michael and his team for turning long shots into reality and making the time invested in searching for the right business productive.

Paul and Carol Hartsock
Buyers of Greenberg Fine Art on Canyon Road in Santa Fe, NM

THE SANTA FE WEAVING GALLERY

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Sam Goldenberg and Associates in purchasing a Santa Fe gallery.

They went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure a smooth transaction. We would highly recommend working with this team if you are selling or buying a business.

AV SYSTEMS

When after 20 years it came time to find a new owner for AV Systems in Santa Fe, working with Sam Goldenberg and Associates as our broker was the obvious choice. Although their extensive marketing efforts produced buyer interest from outside New Mexico, we were pleased that, in the end, it was a local fellow in a related technical business that was the buyer. Throughout the sales process the professional staff at Sam Goldenberg maintained clear and positive communications between buyer and seller and stayed on top of all the details with the result that a purchase agreement was smoothly negotiated that meet the needs of both parties. Thank you Michael, Mark and Juliette for a great job!

GREAT IDEAS!

I had owned my one-man business for 32 years and had just gotten tired of doing it. Friends asked if I’d be interested in selling it to them and, being totally ignorant of the process, I contacted Sam Goldenberg & Associates. They vetted the would-be buyers, developed a mutually-acceptable price, and helped work out the accounting and legal ramifications. Now I’m happily retired and, perhaps best of all, the energetic new owners are generating far more income than I did. Don’t you just love happy endings?

Eliot Kohen
Seller of “Great Ideas!”

CAFE CAFE

I would like to extend my deepest appreciation to Michael Green and Juliette Sweet of Sam Goldenberg and Associates for the professional help they extended when I was purchasing Cafe Cafe. Buying a restaurant is not an easy process and I was living in Naples Fl. at the time which made the job even harder. However, they made sure timelines were met and went out of their way to make sure every detail was covered. More importantly, they made me feel very comfortable knowing they had my interests at heart. I will use them again when I buy another restaurant.

Stu Dickson
Buyer of “Cafe Cafe”

THE REEL LIFE

I purchased my first business through SGA a little over a year ago and was new to the whole process. Michael & Juliette were so helpful to me – I had many questions and concerns and they took the time to explain and answer each one of them in a timely manner. I would recommend using SGA to anyone who is looking to purchase or sell their business. They take a very professional and positive approach as a top notch business broker.
