What a wealth of knowledge Jim brings to the table.Spending his spare time collaborating with other brokers and exploring the industry just brings a depth of knowledge of business brokerage that very few in this world have.Thank you for all the valuable Kontan you post, and the amazing work you do in your community to help people sell businesses successfully!
I have attended several webinars with Jim Parker, Boss Group International. I found his guests and the insight he provided very useful. In addition, Jim was kind enough to provide input for my presentation IBBA in Houston (October 2021, Training of new business brokers). I can recommend Jim Parker highly without reservations
Jim is an expert and a true professional in the business intermediary field. He is very knowledgeable, courteous, and well respected. His vast experience, generous personality and commitment to providing the highest level of service are beneficial to all who work with him.
I would like to acknowledge Jim Parkers great efforts to support his fellow business brokers by sharing his knowledge and time during the trying period of Covid, through his weekly well structured webinars. Jim help us adjust and adapt with many great ideas and kept a calm amongst us.
Jim is a top level business broker and intermediary! If you need representation in the Central Florida area, you simply cant do better. I and many other brokers around the country rely on him as an expert in the field and look to him for continuing education as professional business brokers.
James Parker from Boss Group International is extremely knowledgeable about all the aspects and processes related to buying or selling a business. More importantly, he continuously shares his expertise with everyone else in the profession. I would recommend him without hesitation to help you with any transaction you are considering.Sal AcostaBusiness BrokerWestern Pennsylvania
Jim is very knowledgeable about business brokerage. I had a pleasure to listen to several of his webinars in 2020-2021. It allowed us to learn more and become better advisors and serve our clients better. He brought other experts with different skills and skillfully interviewed them. During 2020, there was a lot of early confusions about the PPP loans and how they could affect transactions and how COVID affected valuations and dozens of related topics. I gained a lot from these webinars.
Jim Parker played a key role during the pandemic educating and encouraging Business Brokers to work through the crisis. He and others provided free, knowledgeable advice to brokers how to continue to help business sellers and buyers achieve their goals despite the current difficulties.
When I was admitted into the BBF, Jim Parker was the first person to welcome me and offer his support. During the 2020 COVID-19 lockdowns, I came across his business brokerage educational videos on YouTube. Since Jim had recently left such a great impression on me, I decided to visit his channel and discovered an absolute gold mine of information. I binged watched every single episode I missed and still refer back to the channel quite often. I sincerely appreciate Jims mentorship and his commitment to bettering our industry.
Jim Parkers webinars have great topics and guests. He presents what could be complicated and confusing topics in a down to earth and understandable way. From taxation to lawsuits; from Covid to the controversies of co-brokering, Jims lively style brought good information and insight to the topics. Keep those webinars rolling, Jim! We need and enjoy them! Lee Sheaffer, CBI
Weve known Jim and his team for many years. There isnt much we can say beyond what has already been said. We just closed on a purchase for a family business and what made for a smooth transition was the Boss Group teams ability to call upon their diverse network of associates to help in every level of the process. From banking, to consultants, to appraisers, just about every need was a phone call away. checking in with us all the way to the closing table and after, we highly recommend them for your buying and selling needs. Keep it up team!!
I really enjoy working with Boss Group International team. Jim Parker is a great guy and very easy and more so ethical to work with. As an accountant, I will say that he ensures that a buyer is well informed of whatever it is that they are purchasing and as a seller he does a great job in assessing a businesss true value which he conveys on potential buyers. In sum, I would not want to work with any other brokerage firm!!
I was woken up this morning to a phone call of someone asking me if I was the owner? To which I reply of what? They stated the business, then what they do, and asked if I wanted to sell the business. I replied “absolutely not.” I guess they don’t hear that often and said I was blunt. Well I mean you’re calling early in the morning to someone who never reached out to you or anyone else about selling a business in the first place .. what do you expect? These cold calls need to stop. The reviews are suspicious.. everyone likes you? Everyone? Seems more like paid reviews like someone on your fb suggested. These are the type of people who hustle people to make a living instead of doing hard work. You build a business up, sweat, tears, money what for them to just ask you to sell it?? Are you kidding me? Kick rocks. Stop cold calling people!
We have had a pool service company for the past 23 years with up to almost 500 customers. A couple of years ago we sold 1/2 through a marketing company which we thought was a good deal until we came in contact with Boss Group International, Jim Parker. Actually Stephanie Sherbacow, his assistant, made contact with us on a cold call to see if we wanted to sale our company. We were in the process of doing that and had listed with this other company. After speaking with Stephanie and then Jim, there was not a question we would sign a contract with Boss Group to represent our company in selling. Jim not only spent numerous times on the phone with us but did what we think was one of the best portfolios in regards to not only our company but us as business owners. During the 6 months we listed with another company, we had 2 calls, one just asking questions and the other wanting us to take 1/2 of selling price and the other in 3 years!!!This was all done during the convid-19. In 5 months, we not only had approximately 6-8 interest but sold and closed the deal on August 18. We have recommended Boss Group, Jim Parker, to other companies and if we ever decided to own another company and get ready to sell, he would be the first person we call. Thank you Jim and Stephanie for all the great work you have provided us and the business friendship. We would highly recommend Jim and Stephanie if you have a company you are ready to sell!!
I had interviewed several brokers before finding Jim. From the very beginning Jim was open and honest about the process of selling a business and what my husband and I needed to do to make the business attractive to buyers. Jims expertise, knowledge, follow up and follow and professionalism are all top-notch. Since this was my first experience in selling a business, I had many questions and some concerns. Jims answers were always spot-on and his endless patience greatly appreciated. When I buy or sell my next business, Jim Parker at Boss Group International will be my very first phone call!
I have found your webinars to be an excellent source of business education and development. As a solo practitioner I count on the sharing of education and information in the industry in order to continue my development. I am very appreciated of your industry efforts. Looking forward to your next webinar.
It was a pleasure working with Jim and Stephanie on the sale of my business. I highly appreciated and valued the insights and guidance provided by them throughout the process. From the time I signed the listing agreement to sell my business, Jim had a contract within a week and closing was held 45 days later. They are highly professional and I would recommend their company.
My experience with Jim Parker started during the early days of the COVID-19 shutdown. I saw him jump in with both feet to help other Business Brokers, like myself, stay abreast of the fast-moving and fluid changes to our industry. He demonstrated a servant leader mindset and great technical expertise.
Tony Blair and his team at Boss Group were a great asset in my search and ultimately in my acquisition of a local business. Virtually every interaction with Boss Group was positive, and Tony in particular was supportive, knowledgeable, and readily available. I do not often take the time to offer a review or make a recommendation; this one is hard earned and well deserved. He performs at a level his beloved Ohio State Buckeyes would be proud of.
This was our first time selling a business and Jim and his team made the process simple and as stress-free as possible. They were also prompt, returned phone calls and emails and were there when we needed them. I would DEFINITELY use Boss Group International again to sell my business.
Bob Wheeler is the consummate professional. He was very patient and informative throughout the entire process. I’ve been involved in business sales/closings before for my clients and none have gone as smoothly as this one did for me. I’m eternally grateful for your hard work and empathetic nature Bob, you’ve gained a client for life sir! (Bob would say a friend for life) Thanks again Bob!!
If you are on the market looking to buy a business or looking to sell a business I highly recommend you to Elgene Bob Wheeler, Bob have a wealth of knowledge he is hones attentive discipline hard working he is very professional and knows how to get the job done, Bob is not just in for the money he have a genuine passion for what he does and educate you in the process, he always answer his phone and reply to your email, I used Bob as my listing agent to sell my business and in a few months after listing we closed the deal, on behalf of my family and I we want to say Thank you Bob.Sir continue to do a great job and deliver in a outstanding and efficient manner.
I bought my business through Jim Parker and I cant say enough good things about him as a person and a businessman.He was totally honest, steering us away from businesses that we were interested in it they were not suitable. Hed explain his reasons for advising us this way, and 100% of the time he was right.He was very patient with us and when the right business came up, he got the deal done for us.Our experience from start to finish with him was amazing. Buying a business in a foreign country was a stressful, fraught time, but Jim made it as easy as possible for us and earned our trust quickly, and I cannot find any negatives with our service.
Kudos to Jim Parker!!! My husband and I have recently sold our business going through with Jim. He was outstanding. Responded back to us immediately whenever we reached out to him. We had a few bumps in the road along the way, but Jim was readily available and always got things ironed out. Would use Boss Group again if needed, especially if Jim was our broker again!!!Thanks Boss GroupThe Vetzels
Jim Parker of Boss Group made our transaction so smooth and easy. We are retired. We are very happy customers. We had no surprises. Jim arranged the financing and a hundred other details that Kathy and I would never have thought if. Thank you Jim would be an understatement. We highly recommend Jim.
I am an attorney who has practiced business law and transactions in Maitland for the past 33 years. I have known Jim Parker of Boss Group International for many years, and have worked with him on multiple transactions. Jim is very conscientious and professional. He is always organized and prepared. Jims clients are very complementary to him and to me for the services provided by Jim. Jim is very pleasant to work with, and I would highly recommend Jim as a business broker for the sale or purchase of a business.
Jim and Stephanie make a dynamic team. They were with us every step of the way during the process when we purchased our business. Stephanie monitored all documentation requirements from both sides and Jim referred a great lender and provided support for all parties and even attended the closing. Needless to say, we couldnt have done it without this dynamic team - we look forward to many more transactions together.
James is an amazing trainer and I really enjoyed his class, which was not only greatly informative but also a lot of fun! The time just flew, 6 hours of training felt like 30 minutes. James is very knowledgeable and gives a sense of sincerity and trustworthiness. I would definitely recommend to contact him or his office for anyone looking to buy a business in that area! Wish there were more professionals like him!
I recently worked with Bob Wheeler on a small business acquisition and couldnt have been more satisfied. As a first time business buyer, Bob made the experience completely seamless and enjoyable, never once did I feel confused or concerned. Bob is a tremendous communicator. Would recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell a business.
I used Jim to sell my business because I kept bumping into people who had bought or sold a business through him. Jim spent a lot of time with me in this sale and he really knows what he is doing. This sale was a big move for me and I feel very blessed to have met Jim to help me through it. I would recommend Jim Parker to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a business.Thanks again for all of your hard work Jim
Jim did a great job leading the BBF training class. He has extensive real world experience and he shared those experiences to help the people in the class learn how to be successful business brokers.He also has great passion for what he does and, as a result, I found his discussion about a career in this industry to be inspirational.Paula Kruger
Boss Group International with Carey Sobel being our agent could not have been a better experience as he sold our family business. His professionalism, experience and communicate skills were apparent from the first phone call. Working with Carey was a phenomenal experience as he held our hand through the entire process and guided us though a successful sale. We give our highest recommendation to Carey Sobel along with Boss International Group.
BEWARE BUSINESS BUYER & SELLER CONTINUEDChris Ververis no matter what I said and being argumentative was not going to send the NDA or supply me with any information on the business. I then just told him I would speak with his broker Jim Parker and proceed from there. Sent Mr Parker a text message explaining his agent was about to possibly land his brokerage in hot water. All licensed professionals with the Department of Real Estate have a legal and fiduciary responsibility to their seller and potential buyers.Imagine you had a business to sell and a buyer wants to buy it. The brokerage you hire to sell that business does not let you know and you found out about it. Whats your next move? My guess is that the seller has fallen behind in their lease because of Covid 19 and the landlord of the leased space has taken it over. Because of this I believe Chris Ververis is just looking out to protect his commission from the seller and not the seller’s best interest. Instead of doing the right thing and allowing someone who can purchase this business and maybe help the seller by ridding him or her of these financial responsibilities they have with this business. On a side not. I did get a call back from Jim Parker Broker. Call lasted less than 15 sec. He was rude and very unprofessional. I have a little saying. Its Hard To Get A Man To Understand Something, When His Paycheck Depends On Him Not Understanding It. I think that statement more than applies to Boss International Business Brokerage.#bossgroup #DBPR
WOW!!! The team at Boss Group are fantastic. When searching for a company to sell my business, I came across Boss group. I met with Jim and he got right to work. The professionalism and attention to detail was unparalleled to any other company out there. They respond to calls and emails almost immediately. They are always available and get all tasks done so fast. Their knowledge of the industry is phenomenal.I would Highly Recommend Boss Group to any one looking to Buy or Sell a company.
Jim and his crew did an excellent job of finding us buyers for not only our business but also for our property. It did take time but he warned us to be patient as we would probably have to talk to quite a few interested parties. We are now retired and looking forward to the next chapter in our lives. Thank you Jim!
I have had the extreme pleasure of working with the entire Boss Group International team and find all of them to be top notch professionals who know their industry like know other. They give 100% to all of their buyers and sellers to ensure that the sell/acquisition process is done properly, professionally with full transparency on both sides. Everyone on the team works hard to make sure the transaction goes as smoothly and quickly as possible. They strive to be the best in their industry and it shows... They are!
Tony Blair and I met about 7 years ago when he sold me my first business. I continue working with him and try to be in contact about new ventures. He has also introduced me to Carey Sobel. Carey and Tony are very professional in every aspect of the business. They both are a pleasure to work with. Very seamless, they take care of every need from start to finish. Thank you Tony and Carey!!!
Jim Parker hosted a BBF Class I attended last week, great class! If you have a chance to join one of his classes I would highly recommend it, he is very knowledgeable and you will learn alotJIm was thorough, fun, a plethora of info and shared a lot of his own business experiences and allowed the class to share theirs
I recently attended an Orientation Course at the BBF an organization I am a member of. The full day session was conducted by Jim Baker in a very thorough, practical, educational and entertaining way.His knowledge and experience in the field was reflected in every topic he addressed.Having been in both sides of a classroom environment (as an attendee as well as a trainer) I know how difficult it can be to maintain everyones attention for an entire day. Jim was able to accomplish this effortlessly!
Boss Group International is an extremely professional team. Knowledgeable in all aspects of Real Estate, they are respectful and perform with a high level of energy and integrity. This team, in particular Bob Wheeler does his homework. His upfront research and intel allows him to buy and sell properties from a proactive not reactive position. I highly recommend working the Boss Group and any real estate transaction you may be considering.
Tony Blair and I just successfully Completed a lengthy, complicated transaction of a well known, successful restaurant located within Central Florida. There were numerous times this transaction began to falter and Tony acted with great knowledge, authority with an air of calm-confidence. I look forward to our next sale/purchase and working with this consummate PROFESSIONAL. Tony really deserves a 10+++++ Platinum Star rating. Sincerely.....Til next one....Jim
Not only were they successful in selling my business but they did it in the most professional way. I was so impressed in the way that Carey handled the landlord in getting his permission for the sale and for the way he expedited getting everything done. It seemed sometimes as if he was juggling five balls in the air at the same time. I dont usually write reviews but I would highly recommend Carey and his associates to anyone that is trying to buy or sell a business.Well done guysAnthony LabatosTex-Mex ExpressOld Town Kissimmee
As a Commercial Real Estate and Business attorney in Central Florida, I have the opportunity to work with many different brokers, each with their own style. Among those I consider to be at the top of their game is Chris Ververis of Boss Group International. His clients, even when faced with the natural challenges of buying or selling a business, consistently express their gratitude for Chris can-do attitude and attention to detail, as well as his high success rate in getting the parties across the finish line. Chris is not afraid to ask questions to get answers when he doesnt know something, and goes the extra mile to make sure that his clients have the most stress free experience possible. It is a reality that things come up during closings--how you deal with them defines the experience. Chris is simply one of the best to have on your team, both when things dont go as expected and when they do.
We recently purchased our first business in FL and were fortunate to have the brokerage services of Carey Sobel. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable and has fought for our best interests every step of the way. From our first conversation to this very day well after our deal has been signed. He is a true pro. As our business grows, and we need more spaces, he will be the only call, I highly recommend anyone opening a business, call Boss Group International and ask for Carey Sobel! Thanks again!!!
I was referred to Chris Ververis through some friends who had sold their business through him and I am so happy they did. Chris walked me through the entire process of selling my business. I did not know where to start and his Knowledge, Professionalism and Caring manner was amazing! He went above and beyond in guiding me through this. I had MANY questions, concerns, and issues along the way and he was Great in helping me to understand it all and put me at ease. When I called, emailed or texted, his response was immediate. I would highly recommend anyone who is in the process of buying or selling a business to contact Chris Ververis. I will definitely be recommending him to anyone who asks. He made this huge transition in my life for me as smooth as I could ever ask for.
I worked with Boss Group for over a year. They are always there to listen to exactly what you are looking for. Always very professional yet personal. They are never in a rush and always have time to listen to your needs. My needs changed a few times and I was always met with understanding and results. These guys have a finger on the pulse of businesses through the state. I will exclusively be calling on them for all my Buying Or Selling needs in the future
Business intermediaries, Carey Sobel and Tony Blair guided my business partners and I through a roller coaster of a business acquisition with utmost professionalism, integrity and stellar communication throughout the entire process.From the initial meeting I had with Carey, I was confident in his ability to guide us through the complexities that can often be present when deciding to purchase a restaurant--or any business for that matter.As the stages of this particular deal progressed, my partner and I faced a multitude of unforeseen and seemingly insurmountable challenges that seemed to be preventing us all from getting to the closing table (none of which were caused by either of them). Carey and Tony, at every stage, proved to be integral in maintaining all of our interests and moving the deal along at a comfortable and measured pace.One specific moment where Carey and Tony proved to be a crucial and positive influence on this deal, was during the landlord approval and negotiation stage. We were working to come to terms with, and gain approval from one of largest retail-commercial property groups in the world. After several denials and setbacks from the landlord, Carey and Tony were able to help my team craft a strategy that all parties involved were happy with, which was a tremendous moment for us as the buyers in this deal.I cant say enough about how professional, knowledgable and responsive they were throughout this transaction. I highly recommend them both, and would not turn to any other brokers when looking to buy or sell a business in the Central Florida market.Jamie Feldman & Eric IsolicaOrlando Hospitality Partnership, LLCdba Social House -- Waterford Lakes
Often in buying a business it is the first reaction to think the broker is getting paid too much, but in the case of Chris V he was NOT paid enough for the professionalism, persistence, and accessibility he exhibited in the purchase of two Tuffy Auto Franchises. Without his knowledge, the transaction would not have been completed. Thank you Chris!!!....Trey Aulls, JNT Investments LLC
Mr. Parker is the best real state agent that we , Fersula family, have ever met. After meeting many realtors in order to sell our business, we can tell that Jim Parker is a professional and human being that will be honest, and value your property as if it were his. If you want to trust in someone , make sure that person is him or his company. A very knowlagle person that will give you options. We , Fersula family, will be forever grateful to meet him. We would like to point out , he will certainly work with you to meet your expectations. He is the 1st person/company that we will call when selling or buying a commercial property. We wish him a lot of success on his business as well.Sincerely,Fersula Family.
I recently attended a BBF orientation course instructed by James Parker. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field and i really benefited from his instruction. Clear, concise, and to the point. If you have the opportunity to listen to James speak i would strongly advise anyone to do so.
They are very serious and professional.Committed 100% with both ends, seller and buyer that leads to an excellent result, since buyer most likely Will have the seller support and advise after closing.I would like to add that Tony is a very honest person, friend and able to cooperate with any party.They are second to none, without hesitation, I recomend to anyone visit their site or contact them.
I recently used Boss Group to sell my landscaping company, and I dont think I could have possibly had a better experience elsewhere. Carey (and Tony) exceeded my expectations at every single step throughout the process. I cant speak highly enough about this group, and I will gladly refer them to every person I encounter that is buying/selling a business. Thank you for everything!!
Your presentation skills were very good, you engaged the group very well.The only issue I have with the presentation is with the material. I have learned over the years that there is no absolutes on valuations, and the way the material was presented, is that there is a fixed formula for valuing a company. This is not the case.

2022-03-08Boss is the BOSS when it comes to buying and selling your business. We had the pleasure of working with Jim to purchase our very first business in Florida. We were new to this with no experience and Jim worked with us every step of the way, alleviating any concerns and stress we had. He and his staff are professional and invested in their clients. They work tediously to make sure there are no hiccups in the process. I am glad we chose to use them. Their expertise, patience and genuine concern is what sets them apart. This company has your interest at heart first and foremost, even before their own. Do yourself a favor and if you are in the market to buy a business or sell your own, call Boss FIRST!!!Rich (Bronx Pizza)

Jim has helped me in my career and truly is a great guy. You will be in solid hands with Jim as your representative or professional mentor.

2022-04-06Jim Parker has been a huge help to me since I began my business brokerage firm in Downers Grove, Illinois a few years ago. He helped me not only through his Webinars and YouTube Videos, but also personally. He was only one of the very few seasoned business brokers who encouraged me to pursue business brokerage even though I could only do it on part-time basis. Ive now earned more in my business brokerage firm through the first 2 1/2 months of this year than I earned all of last year on my day job. I am now planning to leave my job and move into my business brokerage full-time. That would not have been possible without Jims expert guidance, motivation and belief in me. I highly recommend Jim Parker to any broker or anyone looking to buy or sell a business.

2022-02-22Jim is a fellow business broker with ample experience. During the pandemic he was kind enough to share his experiences and host other very experienced brokers in his YouTube channel adding value to the entire business broker community. From my interactions with Jim he seems like a very experienced broker.

2022-03-01Meeting Jim changed the direction of my life. I had a lawn care company that I wanted to sell, but until I met Jim, I only wondered how it could ever happen one day. Jim took what for me seemed like an impossible dream, and made it a reality. Working with him team through the process to closing was an amazing experience. I would 100% recommend working with Jim and Boss Group International to anyone in need of their services.
