I had the pleasure of working with Cameron Johnson at IBA, who represented the sellers of the company I purchased. From our very first coffee meeting, I knew he was someone different.

Cameron is honest and straightforward, always telling it like it is, but in a way that’s respectful and thoughtful. He’s pragmatic, a true problem solver, and somehow manages to keep things light with a great sense of humor, even when the process gets stressful.

One thing that really stood out to me is Cameron’s genuine curiosity. He takes the time to deeply understand the business he’s representing and the people involved on both sides. He asks smart questions and wants to know the “why” behind the numbers and the story behind the people. That level of care and attention makes all the difference when you’re navigating a complex deal.

Cameron was always diligent and responsive throughout the entire process. He played a critical role at every step, and I honestly don’t think this deal would have happened for me without his support and belief in me as a buyer.

I’m grateful for his help and can’t recommend him highly enough.

I recently sold my craft distillery in Southwest Washington. I engaged IBA and specifically Jeff Bryan to handle the process. I was impressed with his knowledge of the industry and his sincere eagerness to help me. He has a very good appreciation of a sellers and buyers way of thinking and he is very easy to talk to. I was surprised with the success of his marketing as we received a very lot of interest rather quickly and through his vetting process we had a half dozen serious buyers and investors who toured the facility within the first few months. We ended up with three solid offers with one eventually culminating in the purchase/sale of my business. The process required coordination not only with the seller and the buyer but with state and federal agencies including the TTB. We also had to deal with the COVID-19 situation. Jeff remained calm and focused. He maintained a mantra: focus on each issue and get it resolved, be creative and always positive yet always move forward. I am quite happy with the representation I received from Jeff. He knows his business and was always polite and professional. He is an easy person to like. I would work with him again with no question.

I had the opportunity to work with Seth Rudin during the acquisition of my business. Although he was originally engaged by the seller, his role in managing the buyer relationship was exceptional. Throughout the process, he consistently demonstrated professionalism, fairness, and deep expertise in every aspect of the transaction. Seth’s ability to coach, guide, and educate me through each stage of the process helped me manage through the emotional highs and lows of transitioning from 20yrs of corporate experience into entrepreneurship. Seth’s communication style is direct but always constructive while maintaining balance that was tough but always fair to both sides. Seth’s calm demeanor made the process far more manageable by providing clarity, structure, and confidence at every step. I would highly recommend him to anyone navigating a business sale or acquisition. His integrity, knowledge, and commitment to successful outcomes set a high standard. As I look to a future of growth through acquisitions, connecting with Seth and the IBA team will be my first step.

I have know Gregory for 20 years, from our early days together in the Seattle area. I met Greg when I was exploring the idea of buying a business and leaving corporate America. Our relationship grew through Redmond Little League, where we both were actively involved in helping young folks navigate through their early years of growth. Greg is a remarkably ethical and honest agent. I have worked with companies like Coke, Microsoft, Tony Robbins as well as tech start-ups. Over the years, you learn the value of working with great people who you can trust. Greg is an old-school businessman, a handshake kind of guy. Now that we are both in Portland, I look forward to supporting his efforts, and offer up this as the highest level of referral recommendation. Trust Greg and IBA to get you to your outcome.
