Praise from our clients…

Tami sold 3 of our stores for us. She was able to get what we needed to sell them for. And she was fast & efficient finding qualified buyers. Couldn’t be more pleased with her services. Give her a try. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain!

Jeff, Cold Stone Creamery

Ted did everything that he could on my behalf and I could not have been more pleased in his role as my broker. He was both diligent and thorough. Thank you again.

Ted, Monster Eats

Tami! I would recommend her 1000 times over. She definitely knows what she’s doing and she’s not just good at it…she is exceptional! Keith says he deals with a lot of good negotiators and she’s up there with the best. And I enjoyed working with her so much. It’s a stressful transition and she never once made it more stressful. She always put me at ease and I always trusted that I was in good hands with her. So THANK YOU!

Meredith, Pinkberry

Tom knows the Subway process inside and out – wonderful to work with!

Tim, Subway

EatZ is quick, responsive and very helpful!

MD, Shumi’s

You are very fortunate to have someone like Ted working for you. His commitment to me was only surpassed by his level of integrity. Ted always kept his cool and kept mine under check as well. He was my complete advocate from start to finish. His attention to detail is impeccable. After months of negotiations, we culminated the sale today. If you could clone Ted, do it. Thank you for having him on your team and on mine as well!

Simon, World of Beer

I have yet to meet a broker that will work as hard as Ted!

Jim, Thai Thai Express

Ted Aretos was our broker on the sale of our restaurant and I must say of all the business transactions I have had with brokers, Ted and EatZ was the best experience I have had in many years.  Ted is very communicative, thorough, responsive and a pleasure to work with. He is detailed oriented and kept me at ease as the sale progressed through to the closing.  I would recommend Ted Aretos for your restaurant transaction.  We were listed with another broker and after we listed with EatZ, they had 3 offers within 3 days.  Excellent customer service and very experienced with restaurants both on the sale and purchase sides!
