    Debbie McGough
  2. Bill Is the sharpest business broker I know. He understands how to capture the full value of his clients’ real and personal property, including intangible business value that can often be so difficult to quantify. You’re in good hands with Transworld Business Advisors in Mobile!

  3. My entire experience working with Leslie McCleskey was smoother than I could’ve ever imagined. From start to finish, she handled every detail—from evaluating the value of my business to reaching out to potential buyers, all while staying within the time frame I needed. Leslie was consistently responsive, professional, and kept me informed every step of the way. I’m so grateful for her dedication and expertise throughout the sale of my salon.

    Becca Snel
  4. We were on the fence about using a broker to sell our business but THANK THE LORD WE DID because I know we couldn’t have dealt with some of the issues we ran into without their help! Leslie McCluskey is wonderful at what she does and will get you sold fast!

    Katie Aloi
  5. I had the good fortune to work with Bill Kleinschrodt of Transworld in a recent transaction. Bill and his partners provided highly competent, value added service and were also an absolute pleasure to work with. I’ve worked with no brokers better than Bill and Transworld.

  6. Great company to work with! Eliminated stress and eased our minds through the process. Highly recommend.

    Kim Williamson
  7. If you need help with selling or buying a business... Leslie McCleskey is your person! She recently helped us sell our restaurant. Leslie made the process seem so easy... she handled all of the issues we ran into, as well as going above and beyond with working with her team to make it possible within the time frame we gave her. It was also helpful that she has a business ownership background. I am super happy we chose her to handle this ordeal.

    Helene Nou
  8. I can't say enough great things about my experience working with Transworld. My broker, Trey Langus, is so knowledgeable, so thorough, detailed and encouraging, he made what would have been a fairly nerve racking experience for most people, the easiest, least trying time you can imagine. I didn't have to call Trey and ask questions, as he is so good at what he does, he made an appoint to call me almost daily and from his own experiences knew what was most likely on my mind and would proactively answer the questions I had. Bill Kleinschrodt who runs the office took a real interest in my business purchase and would actually see me in the office, call me by name and know exactly not only what deal Trey and I were working on, but would know exactly where we were in the process and what challenges we may have been facing at that time. It made me feel really good to witness first hand what an extensive "team" approach Bill and his brokers use. There aren't any accolades higher than the ones I give Trey Langus and Transworld-PERIOD!
