Michelle Brown

I first moved to Central Florida in 1975, and fully enjoy the Florida lifestyle and all of the recreational, cultural, dining thas well as business opportunities. When I am not serving my customers, I enjoy kickboxing, cycling, kayaking and relaxing days at the beach. Time well spent with family and friends is also a priority. As a former small business owner of 25 years, I understand the challenges of business ownership and find helping sellers move on to their next endeavor, and assisting buyers purchase their dreams. I am a firm believer in the value of small businesses and their impact on the local communities. That's why I love working in this field.

This hands-on expertise allows me to provide clients with a comprehensive perspective on financial, operational, and entrepreneurial factors critical to successful transactions. My background includes leading strategic initiatives, managing global operations, and navigating businesses through periods of transformation and growth. I understand that every business transaction requires a tailored approach, with an emphasis on confidentiality, transparency, and value maximization. Having collaborated with business owners and brokers across a wide range of industries, I bring a client-focused, results-driven strategy to every deal.
