Testimonials
Berkery Noyes was fantastic at walking us through the process from beginning to end, and ensured we presented our company in an advantageous way. Any question we had was answered professionally, with patience and the right level of detail to give us confidence in their knowledge. The success of our transaction was due to the guidance provided by Berkery Noyes. I would strongly recommend them to companies considering a sell side process.
From my first conversation with Berkery Noyes more than a decade ago, I instinctively and immediately knew then that their team would be an integral part of my success strategy when the time arrived to sell my company. I remained perpetually confident in their counsel, appreciative of their patience, and impressed with their extensive network and industry experience. A strategic acquisition was critical because my company was a niche financial services software company. We discussed on many occasions that a shopped, open market bid for a random purchaser was not appropriate for my clients' long-term interests. If an opportunity arose, they knew what would work.
Not only did Berkery Noyes bring me the perfect buyer from a business perspective with the complete set of purchaser attributes that I wanted, but their skill in negotiating also resulted in achieving all my requirements for terms and conditions. The closing was flawless, and the transition process has been entirely smooth. Having founded and built my company over the past thirty-five years, I am thrilled for the pinnacle of success and recognition of achievement culminating in an exit at the peak of value, made possible by Berkery Noyes. I wholeheartedly and enthusiastically endorse the Berkery Noyes team of professional resources.
The Berkery Noyes team was outstanding. Berkery impressed us with their knowledge and many previous deals in our space. As we considered going to market they never pushed but were great listeners and provided valuable advice. Once we made the decision to have them represent us, we found them to be well organized, proactive and incredibly responsive throughout the entire process. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome. They were great advocates and savvy deal makers. I would highly recommend Berkery to anyone considering an Investment Banker.
Great Execution – Despite a Pandemic!
The Berkery Noyes team’s performance during the recent auction process of our company was, in a word, exemplary.
Berkery Noyes impressed us from the very beginning as during the interview process it became evident how well the team understood our market including key participants, recent deals and potential buyers. Soon after we selected BN as our banker, the COVID pandemic hit. Immediately, all parties agreed that the process should be suspended. In May, we restarted the process and proceeded along the carefully choreographed steps they had outlined for us. By following their advice, we were able to generate strong interest amongst a broad array of both strategic and financial buyers. From the fireside chats through the due diligence process, everyone worked together as a cohesive team resulting in a transaction that has left our shareholders extremely satisfied and a buyer that feels that they were the lucky one.
We strongly recommend the Berkery Noyes team to any mortgage industry company considering enlisting the services of a banker.
When we were ready to sell our Company in the appraisal management space, we evaluated a few investment banking groups. Berkery has a great reputation and seemed to have a relationship with all the significant players in the space. After selecting Berkery and working closely with their team, they not only brought a large network of potential buyers, they 1) ensured our Company was ready for a thorough diligence process, 2) helped us negotiate terms in a unique and difficult transaction environment and most importantly 3) got the deal closed. I highly recommend Berkery and hope to work with them again in the future.
The experience that Berkery Noyes has in the appraisal management and broader mortgage technology space was a major factor in the board of United States Appraisals selecting them to represent us in a sale process. We wanted an investment banker with experience selling similar businesses and one that had personal relationships with likely buyers of United States Appraisals. The team’s industry experience proved valuable in identifying the best buyers and positioning the company for success in the sale process. Berkery Noyes was great to work with in the execution phase of the transaction all the way through closing.
Thank you!!!! Congratulations to you and the team!! I love you guys!! We’ve learned so much from this process. You found us the BEST partner for ACES and you made it happen!! You’re amazing!! So excited to grow ACES!!
We had been courted by dozens of investment bankers before we decided to rely on Berkery Noyes. At the end of the journey we can honestly say that we hardly could have made a better choice. Martin Magida and his team understood and embraced our company's values and philosophy from day one, managing to build a close relationship with our team that enabled an open, friendly and productive conversation all along. The level of attention to and understanding of our needs, and the negotiating skills they provided throughout the process were fundamental to maximizing shareholder value. Last but not least, in a stressful process like M&A, patience is a virtue and Martin and his team proved to be extremely virtuous in leading us to a positive outcome through periods of high stress.
I was surprised with the candor and honesty that Berkery Noyes showed during the pitch process and delighted with the patience and perseverance they showed through a long and arduous process. Their interest in doing the absolute best for the company was evident in every single call every single week.
We could not have done it without you and your team! We valued your advice every step of the way and are so thankful to you for everything. You were an absolute pleasure to work with.

The Berkery Noyes team rose to the challenge with speed, professionalism, and deft management of the large and complicated transaction with Endeavor Business Media. They performed admirably and was relentless in managing multiple constituencies to achieve a timely close that we believe will ensure a bright future for the strong PennWell brands and talented employees who joined Endeavor.
When we were searching for the right banker to represent us, we looked no further than Berkery Noyes given their deep network and experience in the mortgage services and fintech space. We were not disappointed. The team worked tirelessly with us to put together a compelling package. Their negotiation skills were a blessing to merge all the diverse personalities and business lines into one successful deal. Moreover, they took the time to understand our needs and wishes and compassionately helped us ride the emotional roller coaster that is inevitable in any M&A transaction. Working with Berkery Noyes felt like a lifelong friend was helping us find the right fit for our company.
Thank you so much for a job well done by you and your team! I have met a lot of investment bankers in the nearly 30 years that I have been at CARD's helm, and you have proven yourself to be the best. You showed a unique and comprehensive understanding of our business and market, which -- coupled with your hands-on approach and commitment to the process -- allowed us to evaluate a variety of very attractive options in a highly efficient manner. Your ability to appreciate our transaction objectives, tailor a process to best achieve them, and exhibit the leadership skills to motivate the entire team was impressive. The result was an extraordinarily successful outcome that enabled us to identify the best long-term partner to enhance our mission to serve the autism community. You have been a trusted advisor to me throughout every step of the process, and I will continue to rely on your advice.
The BNC Team were great to work with - start to finish. They brought an understanding of our market space and really understood how our company fit, and was different in that space. Adding in the fact they provided wise counsel and always said “yes” to the twists and turns on the way to a nice transaction - I would highly recommend them.
I want to thank the team for their excellent advice, management, and execution of our transaction. I believe we got the best result possible in this sale from both a financial and a people perspective.
Exceptional negotiator and dealmaker – I can’t think of wanting anyone else in my corner for any transaction in the financial technology or mortgage lending space. Their industry knowledge, deep experience in closing deals, and uncanny understanding of people and their motivations, make them a most valuable resource to have on your side. They worked with our ownership team patiently and strategically before our deal consummated – and it never would have happened without their steadfast focus and tenacity. Berkery Noyes is the best in the business and I recommend them without reservation.
Having known them for almost a decade, I didn’t consider hiring another advisor when looking for buy-side support for a transaction in a mortgage-related space. They have deeper experience and networks in the sector than any other banker. Their intellect and honesty make them a trusted advisor to both buyers and sellers. The relationship with the team at Berkery Noyes played a huge role in facilitating a very successful execution.
The team was spectacular. They were knowledgeable, efficient and highly skilled in keeping the process moving from the initial gathering of information for the offering memorandum through the final contract negotiations and closing. In particular, they were able to navigate through the diverse personalities and issues that required skilled negotiation and objectivity. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend Berkery Noyes.
We feel extremely lucky to have had them working with us throughout the entire deal process. Berkery Noyes fought hard and consistently to help us find the best possible outcome that matched our own objectives for the business. Their leadership was a critical component that enabled us to succeed, and I can’t recommend them enough – we would definitely work with them again in the future.
Thank you. We appreciate your guidance, support and hard work to get us this great outcome.
