We engaged Adam J Walker & Associates to support the sale of our agency business, and the experience was excellent throughout. Their advice on pricing and positioning was clear and well judged, ultimately resulting in us achieving a value above our original expectations. Just as importantly, their guidance on the right buyer profile proved accurate, ensuring a strong commercial outcome and a good long term home for the business and team. Adam and his team were highly engaged from start to finish, were proactive, responsive, and not afraid to step in when needed to keep the process moving. Their support extended beyond completion, which was particularly valuable. A professional, well-managed process backed by genuine market insight and hands-on support. I would highly recommend them.

Having spent a long time wrestling with the decision to sell my business - and with real concerns about it being absorbed by a corporate giant - I spoke at length with Adam and we agreed on a clear, thoughtful plan of action. Finding a buyer who would protect the company’s identity, as well as its staff and clients, was no small task, yet they achieved this with what felt like remarkable ease. Throughout the process, Adam was knowledgeable, reassuring, and consistently available when I needed guidance - something invaluable for a first-time seller navigating what can be a fairly torturous experience. At times when I felt (perhaps unfairly) that the buyer’s solicitors appeared to overcomplicate matters and my hackles were rising, Adam stepped in to calmly diffuse the situation, drawing on his experience of having seen it all before. Now that I’m through the process and able to look back and reflect, I cannot recommend their service highly enough to anyone considering the sale of their estate agency.

I have gone to Adam for advice on a couple of occasions and have always found him to be extremely knowledgable and very generous with his time and expertise. I would not hesitate to recommend.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We recently sold our lettings business with the assistance of Adam J Walker and his team, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Adam has been in contact with us for the past 7 years, always taking the time to advise us and ensure that when the time came to sell, we were in the best possible position. We did speak to others in the industry, but Adam and his team are on a completely different level, far more experienced, professional, and clearly masters in their field. The whole process was broken down into clear, manageable steps, with excellent advice at every stage. It was evident that obtaining the best price was their priority, and their track record shows why they’re trusted not only by sellers but by buyers too. If you are considering selling your lettings business, my advice would be to speak to Adam early. Setting the right foundations makes the process so much smoother when a buyer is found. I can’t rate Adam and the team higher than 5 stars but if I could, I certainly would.

I recently entrusted Adam J Walker & Associates with the sale of our business, and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. Their expertise was evident throughout the process. From the initial valuation to the many negotiations, they provided invaluable guidance and support for what was quite an extended and stressful process. Their structured approach attracted multiple potential buyers, leading to a successful sale. I would highly recommend Adam and his team to anyone considering selling their estate agency business.

Selling a business is quite a time consuming and emotional process. Julie at Adam Walker guided me through it all with ease. She is clearly very experienced and was always on hand to answer any questions or concerns. Once we found a buyer it all went smoothly and this was largely down to the team. Thank you!

Are you Selling a Letting Agency?

DON’T RISK USING A LESS EXPERIENCED BROKER

Several new brokers have set up in business over the last couple of years but they will not be able to achieve
the same results as we can for several reasons.

houses-right-img
  • 1 EXPERIENCE

    I have been trading for over 32 years and have completed sale of 700 business with a total value of over £1 billion high quality letting agencies. My new competitors have been trading for just a year or two and have completed only a few dozen sales.

  • 2 TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE

    Over the last 32 years my team and I have built up vast technical knowledge about how to deal with due diligence problems , legal pitfalls , arguments over the completion accounts and tax matters. This knowledge will pay a huge role in helping you to achieve the highest price and a trouble free sale.

  • 3 NO CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

    My new competitors deal with acquisitions as well as sales. This can cause terrible conflicts of interest. It is impossible to be both a poacher and a gamekeeper and this is why we only ever act for sellers.

  • 4 AN ACCURATE VALUATION

    Many of my competitors will give you an inflated price to secure your business then spend months persuading you to reduce it. This can seriously damage the future saleability of your business. We pride ourselves on giving an accurate valuation and the vast majority of our businesses are sold for within plus or minus 10% of our recommended guide price.

  • 5 ACCURATE DETAILS

    My team and I spend many hours ensuring that the marketing pack for every business we take on is 100% accurate , cross references with the accounts and presents the business in the best possible light. This will have a huge impact on the price that we can achieve. Most of my competitors do not have the time or the knowledge to do this and as a result they often send out details that are incomplete and or inaccurate. This will have a very adverse impact on the saleability of the business and often causes the sale to fall through later in the process.

  • 6 RESOURCES

    My new competitors only have one or two members of staff. I have a team of 8 who between them have more than 52 years’ service with me. This means that I have the resources to deal with every sale properly and proactively. We will never miss a chance to follow up details to achieve a meeting or to follow up a meeting to achieve an offer. We also spend huge amounts of time on progressing every sale. This means that we will achieve higher prices for you a smoother sale.

  • 7 ETHICS

    Many of my new competitors try to pressurise their clients into accepting the first offer that comes in because they do not have the time and resources to do the job properly . I will always run a full marketing campaign to ensure that you achieve the best possible price from the best possible buyer.

  • 8 STRONG RELATIONSHIPS

    I have built up strong relationships with our buyers over many years. Some of them have bought dozens of businesses from us. These relationships based on mutual trust and respect have a real impact on our ability to get sales through quickly and smoothly on the terms originally agreed.

    You will only sell your business once so don’t accept second best – Entrust the job to the market leader Adam J Walker and Associates

DON’T RISK SELLING YOUR BUSINESS YOURSELF

Selling a business is not the same as selling a house and we will add value at every stage of the process.

  • 1 MORE BUYERS

    I will usually have several dozen potential buyers on our database many of whom you would never find yourself. More buyers means more competition and a better price.

  • 2 AN ACCURATE VALUATION

    Due to the number of sales that I deal with I will be able to give you an accurate valuation for your business. This is essential in order to achieve the best price. The prices achieved for other businesses is not publicly available and a lot of the information that is available on line is inaccurate.

  • 3 ACCURATE DETAILS

    We will invest a lot of time and skill in preparing an accurate marketing pack for your business that shows it in the very best light . It is almost impossible for a private seller to do this for themselves.

  • 4 A BETTER MARKETING PROCESS

    My tried and tested 6 week marketing process with a closing date for offers at the end has been proven to achieve the best price. It would be almost impossible to run a campaign like this for yourself.

  • 5 MARKET KNOWLEDGE

    The highest offer is often not the best one. I have the knowledge to advise you on the implications of all the ancillary terms and we know which buyers to trust and which ones are likely to try to reduce the price later in the process.

  • 6 SALES PROGRESSION

    Most private sales fall through because the buyer tries to reduce price they agreed to pay or because a problem found during the due diligence process prevents the buyer from completing the sale. My vast technical knowledge means that the vast majority of our sales complete first time and protects you from the expense and disappointment on an abortive sale.

  • 7 REPUTATION

    If you look at our Google reviews you will see why such a high percentage of our work comes from recommendations. Our clients are in no doubt about the value that we added to their sales process.

    You can only sell your business once so make sure it is done properly by entrusting the job to Adam J Walker & Associates
