Testimonials

Hear directly from our valued clients!

As the owner of a well-established insurance agency, selling my business was no small decision. I had been in the industry for years, and when it came time to move on, I knew I needed a broker I could trust—someone who could navigate the complexities of selling a business while respecting my wishes and goals.

From our first conversation, I knew I was in good hands. Linda was incredibly responsive, always quick to answer my questions and keep me updated on every step of the process. She was extremely attentive, listening carefully to my concerns and making sure I felt informed and comfortable throughout the entire sale. What impressed me most was her ability to balance professionalism with respect. She was never pushy or overstepped any boundaries, but she offered valuable insights and suggestions based on her vast experience. She knew exactly when to guide me, when to give me space, and when to push for the best possible deal.

The whole process went smoothly, and I always felt confident knowing that Linda was looking out for my best interests. If you’re considering selling your business, I can’t recommend her highly enough. Her attention to detail, knowledge of the market, and overall professionalism made the sale of my business as seamless as possible. If you're looking for a broker who is not only experienced but genuinely cares about your goals, Linda is the one to trust. -- SW & CW, Nov 2024

Not knowing where to begin once I made the decision to sell my agency, I realized I needed help! I interviewed three brokers. It was clear after the interviews that I would work with Linda. She came to the table with the experience, knowledge, and understanding to market my agency and ultimately complete the sale. Linda communicated with me regularly and kept me abreast of all inquiries from prospects. She was also easily accessible when I had questions that needed a quick response. I would highly recommend Linda as the professional to choose to guide through what would otherwise be a very daunting process! -- C.C. July 2024

If you are considering selling your agency without help from a consultant....DON'T! There are so many moving parts and things that could go wrong, and Linda Wagner knows her stuff, and was there to help. For a very reasonable cost she found a buyer and helped me through the entire process. Linda has many years of Allstate experience as both an agent, as well as upper management. She knows her stuff! -- P.R. April 2024

Selling your agency in this day and time can be extremely stressful. I would have not been successful in selling my agency without Linda Wagner. I am go grateful for her vast knowledge and experience from our initial conversation to closing day. I am not quite sure how I would have gotten through this draining process without her. My advice is that you need a partner that you can rely on from start to finish and that is Linda Wagner of Gateway Consulting. She was absolutely irreplaceable! -- D.T.  April 2024

I worked with Linda for a little over a year in my effort to sell my Allstate Agency. It was through her contacts and network that we found a buyer during a more difficult time with the market. I would suggest that if you are considering selling your business, get Gateway Consulting to help you make the right decisions. -- P.B. November 2023

Linda Wagner was nothing short of a blessing to me! I would not have been able to sell my agency if it was not for her. The process went very smoothly and Linda handled everything with the utmost professionalism. Linda was accessible and communicative every step of the way. Her experience with handling the sale of insurance agencies is second to none. I couldn't imagine trying to sell my agency on my own. I am extremely grateful for Linda for her diligence and patience with me and making this an easy process. Thank you again Linda! -- T.H.  May 2022

If I were to rate Linda and this transaction, I would give it 5 STARS all the way. I had my agency listed for nearly 6mo by owner and had very little, too no serious activity. Once we listed with Linda, she was able to secure a buyer within a couple months. The benefit of using Linda was that she could address the hard questions and negotiate with the buyer directly, without the uncomfortableness that goes along with selling a business. Linda knew what was required to navigate the process, along with the contacts to get the and buyer moving through the system so the buyer was up and running quickly. During this process, I referred Linda to a couple of other agents that were thinking of selling and they had a similar experience. Thank you Linda for all your hard work and making this a seamless process. -- E.N.  May 2022

Working with Linda was a great experience. As a buyer, everybody wants something from you but it was great to have an honest working relationship where trustworthy information flowed back and forth easily. I look forward to working with her in the future either as a Buyer or a Seller! -- T.G.

Linda at Gateway Consulting Group was amazing to work with because she knew the process. I would have been lost without her. As I look back, I don't know how I would have gotten through all the hoops and looked out for myself if it wasn't for Linda and Gateway Consulting Group. All I have to say is thank you and you made a hard process amazingly easy. -- J.O.  March 2022
