Although each business had its own challenges, I was comforted daily that Hal was the working broker.

I want to thank Hal Feder for two different business transactions in 2022. Although each business had its own challenges, I was comforted daily that Hal was the working broker. He listens, is responsive, always answers the phone, quick turnaround on any documents needed and is on his “A game” every time we had to discuss the different aspects of each business. When you get to the closing, he is organized and always ahead of the game. I would highly recommend Hal Feder as a buying or selling broker.

Hal Feder... the consummate professional, we listed our business for sale with Hal and quickly realized how lucky we were.

Not only did he get the job done (closed in 6 months) he managed both sides of the transaction as well as all third parties with constant communication, instant replies, and thoughtful follow up. Both myself (seller) and the buyer walked away feeling good about the deal largely in part to Hal’s work and reassurances. Would be a MAJOR asset to anyone looking to sell their business or buy an existing one.

His leadership style is inclusive and decisive, embracing all inputs and options and then slicing through to what is most effective.

Working for Hal as part of Ford’s “Export and Growth Operations” team was a privilege and a fantastic learning experience. What struck me most though not only is Hal adept at navigating the complexities of a large multinational firm, but he is equally adept at internalizing the challenges and needs and priorities of an independent business owner (eg. Ford distributor), whether in a major US market, or a far away market like Dubai, Nigeria or Mongolia. Ford’s newfound success in the 84 markets we managed was due, in large part, to Hal’s ability to ‘think and act’ like an independent business owner. His clients today are sure to benefit from that experience and skillset!
