In early 2002, David went out on his own, and founded Triad Business Brokerage, in Greensboro. Within one year, TBB was the number one business brokerage in the area. In 2004, David was approached by a friend, and sold Triad Business Brokerage to him. In 2005, David moved full-time to his vacation home in Boone, NC, and opened a new business brokerage - Blue Ridge Business Brokerage - to serve the High Country Area - Watauga, Avery, Ashe and Wilkes Counties.

2006 - our first full year in business - was a great one for us …. We sold twelve businesses, of course averaging one per month! 2007 was even better!  And now, in this challenging year of 2008, we are still doing well, as we are well known, and folks look to us for their business needs. 

In late 2006, David was joined by a remarkable business broker - Brandy Illich. Brandy has her MBA in International Business, and has over eighteen years of professional sales experience. She was a pharmaceutical rep for many years, with premier companies, including Johnson and Johnson, where she was New Achiever of the Year. Since her involvement with Blue Ridge Business Brokerage, she has been personally involved in the sale of over forty businesses, commercial and residential properties. Brandy brings a load of talent to Blue Ridge Business Brokerage!

Why are we successful? Our clients come first, and are treated as we would want to be treated, if the situation were reversed.
