    Joan Loch of Resource Business Brokerage was invaluable in our investment journey. She expertly found the ideal building, recommended excellent service providers for short-term rental preparation, and secured a qualified long-term tenant for the additional lease space. Joan couldn’t have been any more professional.  Thank you Joan! We highly recommend RBB for commercial brokerage.

    Joan goes the extra mile to ensure that all parties involved are well informed, that everyone is on the same page, and is always available for questions.  She works hard for all parties in the negotiation and diligently fulfills her role.  She was fantastic to work with.

  • Sue Bondy

    Seller of Pet Bazaar in Carolina Beach NC

    Working with Joan to sell my dog daycare and boarding facility was an exceptional experience. From the very beginning, she and her team guided me through every step with professionalism, patience, and genuine care. Selling a business you’ve poured your heart into is never easy, but RBB made the process smooth, transparent, and far less stressful than I imagined. Their knowledge of the industry, attention to detail, and consistent communication gave me complete confidence. I am truly grateful for their support and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a business.

  • Tom McAndrew, III and Tom Mc Andrew, Jr

    Sellers of Bella Cucina Restaurant, Southport NC

    For anyone looking to buy or sell a business I strongly recommend Joan Loch of Resource Business Brokerage. We recently completed the sale of our business with Joan as our broker, to say that it was a difficult transaction would be a gross understatement. There were so many obstacles that kept popping up it was the basis for a movie. But Joan was diligent, professional and determined to bring about our goal = the sale of our business. Joan is extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with. If I was ever looking to buy or sell another business it would be with Resource Business Brokerage.
