Snow & Yarus Business Broker Network, LLC is the spin-off business element of Snow Realty, Inc. initially established in 1989. It specialized in both commercial Real Estate and in the profession of Business Brokerage; however, with sophistication and complexity of Business Brokering, it became evident that selling or buying a business is much different than selling or buying anything else! Modern computer technology has radically changed the scope of available tools to assist with both the valuation and marketing of businesses just as it has in real estate. We have been entrusted with the marketing of many businesses worth millions of dollars over the years and enjoy an excellent reputation for professionalism and integrity from first contact, negotiations and follow-through from contract inception to settlement. We always put our clients first and respect their need for client confidentiality. We believe that networking, experience and professional education are key elements to our ability to establish appropriate value and a successful business marketing plan. Our main office is centrally located in Fredericksburg, VA. Visit our real estate site at www.snowrealty.com
