Broker Biography
Introduction
Steve Pereira is an experienced California business broker who brings more than 40 years of diversified experience in the business world to Murphy Business & Financial Corporation Los Angeles.
An entrepreneur at heart, Steve became inspired over a decade ago to become a business broker while attempting to bring his own patented product to the market while trying to buy a manufacturing business to produce his new product.
As is often the case in life, one door closes while another opens. Though efforts to purchase the manufacturing business to launch his new product fell just short at the 11th hour, he was introduced to and became quite intrigued by the world of business brokering. The broker offered him an opportunity and, after taking some time to perform his due diligence, Steve accepted the offer and shortly after acquired his California real estate license.
Prior to becoming a business broker, Steve was a professional expert witness for over 20 years in the fenestration industry (windows and doors), retained by attorneys, insurance companies, manufacturers and residential builders on hundreds of cases to provide expert testimony in the areas of product design, installation, construction defect, personal injury, and property damage.
Steve’s experience also included the position of Technical Director of California Association of Window Manufacturers’ (CAWM) AAMA and NFRC Certification Programs. Notably in that role Steve co-authored and published the industry's first nationally recognized installation standard for both window and door products with integral nailing fins in wood-framed construction representing CAWM at important national, state and industry conferences and legislative events.
Earlier in his career, Steve worked in Taiwan as a manufacturing facilities manager and has held positions with several aluminum extrusion firms as engineering manager overseeing CAD/drafting departments responsible for extrusion profile designs, fabrication and assembly drawings, and factory workflow and floor planning.
These roles have laid a solid foundation for Steve’s advanced technical acumen, which serves him and his clients well today as a Murphy business broker.
