“As important as selling or buying your business
is, we know of no better business partner than Byron
Basham. From the first initial meeting, to closing
the deal and even in the days and months following
the close, Basham Automotive was professional and
exceptionally knowledgeable. As a seller, Byron's
expertise proved invaluable to the successful completion
of everything that we needed to accomplish. Byron
was there every step of the way. We had some unexpected
matters that had to be dealt with, and he went above,
beyond and was totally indispensable! We would never
consider buying or selling without Byron on the team.
You shouldn’t either.”

“Byron
has two qualities that make it very enjoyable to work
with him: passion and integrity. He is involved in
the process from the beginning—some brokers only
show up at the closing, but Byron is right there with
you every step of the way. We’ve worked together
on several deals and I will definitely use him again
in the future. I have recommended him to others in
the past—both buyers and sellers—and will
continue to do so.”

was looking to buy or sell."

“I couldn’t have done this deal without
Byron. I felt comfortable signing up with him from
the first time we met. He didn’t push me, like
some others would, but he was always there with answers
and support until I was ready to move forward. His
expertise and contacts are what made this deal come
together. We had challenges throughout the process,
and he was able to keep everything going and get it
finalized. I would recommend him to anyone looking
for an experienced agent to take them through the
buy/sell process successfully.
Barnes Boyle, III

especially with the factory guys, is great. He always
does a thorough job."
