Testimonials

Steve Colburn

Eagle Capital, Inc.

”In my association with Lance, I have found him to be straight forward and ethical. His background as a former CPA has set him apart from the standard appraiser or broker in understanding financial statements. His years of experience as a broker and appraiser has allowed him to evaluate hundreds of businesses. These two attributes uniquely qualify him to both appraise and sell businesses.

Dennis C. Rieger,

Salton Sea Ventures, Inc.

”Lance Schmidt is highly skilled and professional. His skills as a former CPA, and his current Valuation Analyst-CVA and Business Broker have uniquely qualified him for his profession. He provided a solid valuation which met the bank standards for my lender's requirements. I found him to be very ethical and with the ability to find unique solutions for my valuation issues. It was a great pleasure to work with Mr. Schmidt and I felt sure he cared deeply for my satisfaction. I feel comfortable referring him to others in need of the same professional and ethical standards that I require in doing business with anyone.

Lynn Colclough

Former Student, Business Broker

I highly recommend Lance, aka "Professor" to me, because he is all I need when looking for a professional valuation expert. He is knowledgeable, precise, and masterful. When I don't know, I know the Professor knows.

Mark Winegar,VP

Farm Credit West

I had the opportunity to work with Lance on four separate equipment appraisals at the community bank I previously worked for. His valuations were thorough, professionally presented and provided all the pertinent information. The lender I currently work for has its own in-house appraisers, but I would definitely recommend his services for equipment and/or company valuations for individuals or companies that need these types of reports for lending or purchasing needs.

Mattie Seiwert

Former Owner, California Silk Plant Company

”Mr. Lance Schmidt is not only a fantastic business broker, but also a wonderful, helpful, and compassionate person who went above and beyond to help me during the recent tragic loss of my husband and business partner, Joseph Seiwert, Jr.

I first met Lance in 2005 when my husband, Joe and I were looking to purchase a business. Lance represented us and the seller as a dual agent. Nevertheless, he did his job well and represented both parties very fairly. Consequently, we gained trust in him. The transaction went smoothly, we became the new proprietors of a retail store specializing in high-end silk plants/trees and home accessories. The store, California Silk Plant Company, was a community staple and we were proud to carry on the operations after the previous owners wanted to retire.
