Mike Faust first came to First Choice Business Brokers in June of 2005. He came with 10 year's previous experience as a licensed real estate agent, spent in California, primarily as a real estate loan agent. His California State University Northridge B.S. degree in Business Administration with Real Estate Finance & Statistics as areas of special study led to another 10 years’ experience in corporate finance and accounting working as a financial analyst, assistant controller and controller. Born in Kansas and a veteran of the U.S. Navy, Mike has held positions in several different industries including restaurant, auto repair, manufacturing, beverage bottling & distribution, sales and management. He refers to himself as "…a blue collar business broker, more than willing to do a good day's work for a good day's pay." The years he has spent in helping people to buy or sell their business have given Mike professional insight and experience in several aspects of the business including the listing and sale of commercial property and landlord and tenant representation in leasing commercial property. Mike takes pride in the fact that his clients view him as a valuable source of information and many of them continue to consult with him after the conclusion of their immediate transaction. This leads to ongoing relationships that produce repeat business and personal referrals.

Services
I provide full-service business brokerage solutions for small to mid-sized business owners across California and beyond. Whether you're ready to sell, planning your exit, or just exploring your options, I guide you through every step of the process—from valuation and packaging to marketing, negotiations, and closing. Services Include: • Business valuation and pricing strategy • Confidential marketing and buyer screening • Negotiation and deal structuring • Coordination with attorneys, tax planners, CPAs, and lenders • Exit planning and business readiness consulting What to Expect on Our First Call: During our no-cost, no-obligation introductory call, you’ll give me a high-level overview of your business. I’ll explain the sales process and what’s needed to estimate your business’s value. Ideally, I will need to review 3 years of financials (tax returns, profit & loss statements, and balance sheets). If financials are not available, I can still help determine a fair market value using alternative methods. Finding the Right Buyer – Confidentially: With more than 100 offices nationwide and over 30 years of experience, our firm has built a deep, active buyer database. I will discreetly market your business or practice to this database and use our advanced strategies, including web, social media, and artificial intelligence to identify the right buyers —without revealing the business name or location. The only prospective buyers who pass through our careful screening process and have signed our NDA and provided proof-of-funds can receive further details. Closing & Transition: Depending on the deal structure, you may be asked to stay on temporarily to assist with training or transition. Depending on the complexity of the transaction escrow period can range from 2-weeks to 3-months.

What we observe

DealLedger publishes what is publicly displayed. Broker records aggregate every observed listing tied to this firm across our sources. Counts above reflect distinct listings observed, not closed transactions confirmed by the broker.

We do not have direct visibility into which listings sold. When a listing stops appearing in our scrapes, we mark it as no longer observed — but we do not claim it sold. Some close; some withdraw; some are re-listed under a new ID; some are simply missed by our scraper. We surface the observation; you draw the conclusion.
