Testimonials

Tom is incredibly easy to work with. He possesses an extensive base of knowledge of multiple businesses which he was able to utilize during the negotiations on our deal. He, like me, is an entrepreneur. Ours was a dual stock sale, something which other brokers didn't believe possible. We were advised by others to make it a simpler asset sale. That would have adverse tax consequences for us and make the price exorbitant for a buyer. Tom took the time to understand the nature of our unusual structure which was helpful in presenting us to the eventual buyer. When they understand the advantages and value of how we operate they are thrilled to operate the same way. Tom saw the opportunity in the complex structure of our multinational company, other brokers saw problems. He was able to explain these benefits because he is smart and took the time to understand them.

I pointed Tom in the right direction to a company with a similar business model and he jumped on it immediately. Within a week we were in serious discussions with all of the right people. It eventually resulted in a sale. The price we got was exactly what Tom calculated we would get. It was in the high range of the estimates we got from multiple brokers.

Would I strongly recommend Tom? Absolutely.

This past year we used Thomas Vondell to represent us in the sale of a Wedding Venue in a unique location in Upstate NY. We found that Tom was very easy to work with, and up to the challenge. He always returned my calls in a timely manner, and was very easy to communicate with. We had a number of great marketing pieces for his use in the advertising of this location. He worked very quickly putting together a marketing game plan. With Tom's plan in place, we were able to structure the sale of our land and business in no time at all. I would have to say most sales professionals would not have been able to come up with these details. His professional manner throughout the sale to the closing was all you could ask for. That is why I'm using his service again to sell off another location we have in Upstate NY. If you wish to contact me directly with any questions about Tom. I'm happy to speak with you

After 44 years in business, we decided to sell. We enlisted the help of a couple of companies but were disappointed with their approach or their results. We then hired Gil Tatarsky of First Choice Business Brokers. From the beginning he was very professional and thorough, explaining all that was involved. We started getting interest right away and were able to settle on a buyer that we felt was the best fit for our employees and customers. The process of the sale can be tough to navigate, but Gil was able to guide us through !

Matthew is a knowledgeable + no nonsense kind of agent. It's hard to cut through the craziness of today's market but he helped us navigate it seamlessly. Matthew went above and beyond, dealt with everything in an extremely professional manner + was an invaluable resource during the sale of our house. I truly believe that if we asked Matthew to pack our house up and send us our belongings he would have, this guy is gold. Thanks for helping us sell a home that meant a lot to us during a difficult time, we look forward to our next chapter.

Matthew DeClair was an excellent and flexible Realtor! He helped my wife and I in the home buying process by being very knowledgeable about homes that were in the region. He was very personable and understood our needs and connected the dots when we didn’t like a house and the next one was a step closer to what we needed. I definitely would recommend Matthew DeClair who’s looking to buy a house.

Gil Tatarsky is an absolute pleasure to work with. He introduced our company to a number of qualified potential acquirers. Gil is exceptionally bright and brings substantial audit and accounting background to the table, which enables him to astutely navigate every aspect of the deal. He attracts the strongest possible offers on behalf of his clients, while balancing it with integrity and thoroughness, ensuring parties on both sides of the deal are appropriately balancing competing interests.
