Brought the effort back to life time and time again
"NFS recently facilitated the sale of five Marco's Pizza locations in the Denver area to us. These transactions were quite complicated on their own merits. Add in the pandemic, PPP funds, … and a myriad of other issues and there is no reason these deals should have successfully closed. In fact, we presumed them dead several times. NFS brought the effort back to life time and time again. They proved to be the key player in everything and without them, nobody would have been successful in this endeavor. I cannot stress enough that without NFS, the transactions would have gone nowhere."

They always returned my calls, answered my questions, and were extremely knowledgeable and honest in all his dealings with me, the buyer, the franchisor and the landlord"
