CopySubject: Thinking of you, Dennis Hey Dennis, I'm Jon Hyatt — I'm a realtor in the Bangor area, I own SI Associates Property Management, and I've been working with businesses like yours for a while now. I've always respected the reputation you've built with Certified Inspection Services — 30 years in this market is no joke. I wanted to reach out with something that might be worth thinking about. I've been looking at established service businesses in the Bangor area — the kind that have been around for decades, have great reputations, but don't have a clear plan for what happens when the owner decides to step back. Here's what I'm proposing: I come in and take over the operations — sales, marketing, growth, day-to-day management. You keep your equity, you keep earning, and you get to step back on your terms. Over time, we structure a buyout that makes sense for both of us — typically over 10 years, which keeps the tax burden low. The goal is simple: your business keeps growing, you keep getting paid, and you don't have to sell to a stranger or watch it close when you're ready to slow down. I put together a quick overview of how this works: [View the Overview →] https://jonhyatt-hyatt-model.pages.dev/ No pressure — just wanted to put it on your radar. If you're open to grabbing a coffee, I'd love to hear how things are going and what you're thinking about for the future. Talk soon, Jon Hyatt 207-404-0448 Jonhyatt207@gmail.com

CopySubject: AnnRuel — protecting a 45-year legacy Hey [James/Marlene], I'm Jon Hyatt — I'm a realtor here in Bangor, I own SI Associates Property Management, and I've been in this market for a while. I've always known AnnRuel as the gold standard for home inspections in this area — since 1980, that's a legacy worth protecting. I've been looking at established service businesses in the Bangor area that have built something special but don't have a clear succession plan. AnnRuel fits that profile perfectly. Here's what I'm proposing: I take over the operations — sales, marketing, growth, day-to-day management. The family keeps equity, keeps earning, and gets to step back on your terms. We structure a buyout over 10 years, which keeps the tax burden manageable and gives everyone time to transition. The goal is to make sure AnnRuel is still the gold standard 20 years from now — and that the family benefits from everything you've built.
