Our Reviews

Feedback From Our Clients.

"They tell you the truth. They dig up the facts. They tell you when something would work for you. And they also tell you when something may not work for you."
Don Jones
President/Owner, The Spartan Group
"First and foremost, they identify and present the opportunity. They're out there networking. They’ve brought us several deals to take a look at that we would not have been able to source on our own."
Michael Maledon
Executive Vice President, John Elway Group
"Joe called me on some of the transactions that he had listed for sale. And we talked and I recognized his intelligence and his experience. And so as I continue to acquire businesses over the last ten or 15 years, I just use Joe exclusively as a sounding board and as a resource and helping me acquire a business."
David Wilson
David Wilson Auto Group
“Joe came highly recommended by a dealer who used Ozog Consulting to sell his stores to Lithia. Joe exceeded those very high expectations when he sold our store. I would recommend the firm to anyone who is considering selling their stores. He will not evaluate your situation but will walk you through the process.” 
Patti King
President, Energy Country Ford
“The many transactions we have done with Ozog Consulting Group have been smooth and professional. We look forward to future transactions.”
Bryan B Deboer
CEO & President, Lithia Motors & Driveway
"Joe was deft & discreet in his ability to quietly leverage buyer interest in a way that I could never have done without his unique approach."
