“I, Steve Kuljanin, previous owner of Sani Insurance Agency, Inc., signed a contract with Mr. Sean Hayes for an appraisal. Mr. Hayes provided an appraisal of Sani Insurance based on a careful consideration of relevant data and documents we submitted to him. In his appraisal, he also considered data from the insurance industry. Mr. Hayes gave an appraised value that matched the market value, neither over estimating nor underestimating the value of Sani Insurance.

After providing an appraisal for Sani Insurance, we agreed to terms for Mr. Hayes to serve as a sales broker for the sale of Sani Insurance. After finding and evaluating numerous prospective buyers, Mr. Hayes found a buyer who accepted the appraised value of Sani Insurance. The buyers obtained an SBA loan with Mr. Hayes' assistance. The bank approved the loan and accepted the appraised value of Sani Insurance.

Overall, it took about one year for the completion of appraisal, finding a suitable buyer, and completing the sale of Sani Insurance. I highly recommend Mr. Hayes as an appraiser and sales broker.”

"Fast. Efficient. Trustworthy. The words to describe Sean could go on forever. He has become a very trusted ally of ours at Atlantic Capital Bank, and he has really helped us to substantially ramp up our insurance lending portion of our SBA division. I highly recommend Sean, not only for any lender looking to appropriately assess an insurance agency financing opportunity, but also for any individual looking to buy or sell a book of business.”

“Working with Sean Hayes was instrumental in determining the value of my insurance agency. He is an expert in this field and would recommend him to anyone in need of a valuation for merger/acquisition/divorce/business separation.”

“During my seven years as a tax attorney with Frazier & Frazier, in Jacksonville, Florida, Sean performed numerous estate/gift tax valuations for our clients. His work was always of exceptionally high quality and consistently performed in an ethical, professional, and timely manner; and his fees were always fair and reasonable given the scope and timing of the engagement. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend Sean and his business valuation practice to anyone in need of professional business valuation consulting services.”

“Sean helped me value two entities for my Father's estate. They were difficult valuations with unusual details. Sean was able to do the necessary research and produce an excellent report for the value of these assets for transfer of the assets after my Father's death.”

“Our firm has engaged Sean Hayes on numerous occasions to provide valuation services for clients with a wide range of needs - from gift or estate valuations to built-in-gain valuations for corporations converting to S-Corp status. Sean has done them all for us and we rest comfortably knowing the quality of his work based on his many years of experience.”

“I worked with Sean on business valuations in the past and his skills and knowledge are excellent. I highly recommend him in the area of business valuation.”

“I have had the pleasure to work with Sean on several projects. Sean brought a great deal of integrity, attention to detail and expertise to his work. He is a great asset to any organization.”

“Sean has many years of experience and is quick to research and analyze a variety of industries for accurate valuations. He is punctual and performs in-depth analysis while understanding the client’s needs and timetable.”

“We hired Sean to prepare a fair market valuation of our closely held company. His knowledge and expertise were clearly demonstrated. He was a pleasure to work with.”

“Sean did an excellent job on our business valuations for several years.”
