Phil Reese

Selling a business is personal. I know because I’ve been in your shoes. In 1995, I co-founded First Impression Security Doors out of my garage in Mesa, growing it to a full manufacturing facility in Gilbert with 13 employees before a successful exit in 2001. That company has since grown into Arizona’s largest ornamental iron firm.

Today, I use my over 20 years of Business Brokering expertise to help owners navigate their own exits. I am one of only four business brokers in the state to hold the Master Certified Business Intermediary (MCBI) designation. As the former Ethics Chairman for the Arizona Business Brokers Association (AZBBA), I prioritize confidentiality and integrity throughout the whole sales process, ensuring your legacy is protected.

Words alone can not describe how professional and knowledgeable Phil is when it comes to selling a business. After my husband and I decided to sell our company we interviewed Phil and knew right away that he was our guy!! Being once a business owner himself he knew all of our concerns and questions. Phil guided us through the entire process from listing, advertising to closing.
Not only did Phil sell our company quicker than we expected he also got us FULL PRICE!!! Can’t Thank him enough!!!

We had owned our business for over 30 years and it was time to sell our business and retire. We were entrusting our life’s work to someone we didn’t know and we were very nervous, therefore, we did a lot of research on brokers as it was imperative that this person be experienced, knowledgeable and reliable. It was a complicated process but Phil was determined to get us the best deal possible, regardless of how much time and work was involved. He worked tirelessly day and night to get it done, and done right; he definitely earned his commission. We are grateful to Phil for everything he did for us and strongly recommend him to sell your business.

In shopping around for a broker, Phil was the best fit for us. He is a good and kind man, and thoughtful. He listens and he gets things done. He was quick to take care of any needs we had and was not surprised when we got our full asking. All aspects of the sale were answered prayer. We would use him again but retirement looks pretty good!
