"At no time was there a better opportunity for the buying and selling of businesses than in 2001," Richard E. Read, CII's founder/chairman, tells GlobeSt.com. "Businesses changed hands at a steady pace throughout the year, especially here in metro Orlando."
Read anticipates the trend will continue in 2002 "as buyers continue to pursue their dreams of independence and business ownership." The company has 40 agents in Orlando, Jacksonville, Clearwater, Cocoa Beach and Boca Raton, FL.
