Why owners chose Garden City.
From our first conversation to the execution of our agreement, Garden City consistently aligned their words with their actions — proving they were the ideal partner for Westbrook. Simply put, they honored their word.
It only took 58 days from our initial conversation with Garden City for them to acquire our business. Grateful that they were fair, straightforward, and simple from the start.
I continue to be blown away by the value that Garden City’s large collective of investors brings to our team on a weekly basis — including introductions, resources, and guidance.
I couldn’t have asked for a better partner than Garden City. They’ve been transparent and honest from day one. We seamlessly worked through any challenges and, most importantly, they followed through with everything they said they’d do post-closing.
