Insurance people build, for they help others to build. They insure the future. They are respected. And they are a friend.

Dear Mike,

I wanted to thank you for all your hard work making the merger between my company and the William Palumbo Agency. From the first time we had the opportunity to discuss this transaction until the end of the process you have been informative, helpful, understanding and a tremendous asset for me, as I am sure you have been for John. Your valuation and financial skill helped me to move forward when I decided the time was right for a fundamental change in my business.

Your knowledge of the insurance industry allowed me to feel confident that the information that I was getting from you to work towards an agreement would ultimately help us t reach a successful conclusion to the deal. You brought me a qualified buyer who had the same goals for each of the agencies. This has allowed us to complete the merger in a timely manner and continue to have a very profitable relationship.

Your professional attitude, ability to keep appropriate confidential information and insight into both organizations goals allowed all parties to move forward positively. It has been a pleasure working with you.

Sincerely,

Jill Goldman

To Whom It May Concern:

I received an email from New England Search Group Inc asking if I had any interest in acquiring or selling my agency. I had not thought about selling but decided to meet just to see what possibilities there were.

What a pleasure it was meeting Mike. He answered all my questions and when I decided now may be the time to sell, he made sure I understood everything that was going on and was available to me every step of the way. He looked for agencies that would be compatible with mine and also have the same philosophy as we did.

I have sold my agency and the experience actually was very nice. I met some of the nicest insurance agency owners and was purchased by the nicest man. The transaction has been a lot easier that I thought could be possible.

What a pleasure it was working and meeting Mike. He made what was difficult decision easy.

Sincerly,
