Some Merge Lovin' 💛
Merge excelled in clear communication - They were transparent and honest. They helped me to identify suitable targets, supporting acquisition, negotiation, and due diligence processes. They were prompt and timely.
I recently worked with Merge on a transaction where we were the buyer and Merge represented the seller. The Merge team was extremely helpful and professional throughout the entire process. It takes a lot of problem-solving to get a deal done and Merge was a great partner on this deal—from kickoff to close.
They are very skilled at vetting qualified sellers and helped me make a decision on the right agency to acquire. They were very organized and friendly to deal with. I will definitely use them again for my next acquisition. Responsiveness, preparedness, and industry knowledge.
Using Merge during our acquisitions of The Boston Group was a game-changer. Their approach and experience working with agencies streamlined the process, making it significantly more efficient and effective. The insights and analytics provided by Merge enabled us to make well-informed decisions quickly while ensuring we fully understood the value and risks involved.
This was not the first time we transacted with a Merge-listed company, but one thing remained consistent: the Merge team takes time to understand the people behind the transaction. In addition to managing a smooth process, they focused on developing a partnership between buyer and seller – that alignment was critical to the deal.
The big surprise at Merge was the team assigned to us. They were personable, intelligent, and driven. They sought to understand our priorities with unparalleled care and commitment, having our backs at every step of our successful journey. One year later, we still maintain contact with Cally Carbone and Molly McCartan, whom we consider treasured friends. Hi-tech AND hi-touch. You don’t find that very often. Whether buying or selling, Merge brings incredible value to the process.
