They are very responsive and usually get back to me within a day, which is really important to me. Joana has been a great contact for us throughout the year and helps with our tax filings. On the business side, I initially worked with Audilyn, who was very helpful, and more recently Diane has been my main contact. Diane has done a great job keeping me updated, helping keep everything on track, and taking care of the details that need attention so I can stay focused on actually running my business. I also appreciate that they handle many of the filings and administrative items, which takes a lot off my plate. Overall, I've had a very positive experience with the team.

He taught me how to use quickbooks and became a friend. I respect him deeply and over time got to know his crew and I respect them deeply also.

Yes, we…read moresigned the papers--It doesn't surprise me that he would try to rehash everything publicly rather than take some constructive criticism. I only intended to leave an honest review of our experience with IBA. I stand by my one-star review. As our broker, their job was to represent us and get us the best deal possible--not just push a deal through. The buyers already had their own agent. It became clear that closing the transaction quickly was the priority--not our best interests. That's not just poor service--it's unethical. Mortgage lenders need to know whether they're financing a home or a business. Blurring those lines to push a deal through isn't just questionable--it's potentially harmful. We were not properly represented, and we paid the price for it. I recently posted an honest review about my experience with IBA and noticed they still have a 5-star rating. I probably wouldn't have checked back--except I received a letter from an attorney representing IBA. Here's what it said: "They are chagrined that you posted an online review of IBA suggesting otherwise, and we demand that you remove the review you recently made of IBA NW Business Brokers on Google." To be clear, I shared a truthful account of my own personal experience. I did not name the broker involved, nor did I exaggerate any details. It was a simple, honest, one-star review summarizing what was, for me, a very disappointing experience. I don't appreciate being pressured to remove it. A company that can't accept fair criticism without resorting to legal threats raises serious concerns. There are many business brokers in the Northwest--I'd encourage others to do their research and choose one who values transparency and accountability. Original review: I recently worked with a broker from IBA to sell our business and home together, as the business operated on our property. My daughter and I had one chance to sell the small business we built and dedicated ourselves to for ten years, and unfortunately, we were met with disregard and a lack of respect throughout the entire process. The very first interested buyers ended up purchasing it. While it turned out to be a great deal for them, it was not in our best interest. We felt misled and unsupported from start to finish. If you're a small business owner, I would strongly caution against using this firm. In our experience, their practices were misleading and did not prioritize our needs as sellers.

She also specializes in launching new business coaching. As my options for expanding my own career continue, I will definitely reach out to Maggie for advice. Maggie is one of the few coaches out there that lets you craft your own needs list and gives you a reduced rate for the first month. Some of the coaches make you buy a package of stuff you don't necessarily need. Like for instance I had my resume pretty well set and I was getting job interviews so I didn't need to "buy" a $300 resume overhaul. Maggie worked with me and let me work with her in a way that best suited my needs. Really appreciated that, especially when funds are tight.

I thrive from working with people who have an idea (or many ideas) of what their calling may be, but are not sure how to turn that into a career/business, or are fearful of taking that leap. I work with a practice of exploration, conquering fear and self-sabotage through small, manageable steps, and consistency balanced with revision and adjustment. I excel with clients who want to make a difference in the world and seek heart-centered work. My clients typically seek life balance that incorporates movement, spirituality, and/or holistic health approaches.

We believe that business ownership should allow the entrepreneur more freedom to pursue personal goals. We believe that owning and operating a business should not simply be a replacement for a traditional 8-5 job, or worse, replacing an 8-hour work day with a 12-hour one. We believe that owning and operating a business should offer the entrepreneur to spend more time doing the things he or she enjoys, making life happier with less stress. Our solutions create the type of life the client desires. We spend the first few days interviewing our client about the vision and dreams that led to starting the business, and performing a thorough analysis of current business operations. Once we have gathered sufficient data, we develop a plan that will ensure that our client will be able to fulfill the vision, and enable the business to support the dreams, whatever those might be. Every client, and every business is unique. Therefore every solution is custom designed for the specific client. However, we aim to make our solutions affordable to every client.
