"CONFIDENTIALITY IS OUR BUSINESS"

GSB (Gas Station Brokers) is a registered trade name and dba of CWB (Car Wash Brokers, Inc.) and was founded by Roger A. Pencek (MBA) who is the President and Broker for CWB, Inc. throughout the USA.  He personally trains each Broker/Agent before they are eligible to list any Business for Sale.


Our trained and qualified gas station and car wash agents have an extensive background of personally owning businesses and direct gas station and car wash exposure.  Our specific talent is in evaluating each business to determine if the business is in fact salable and if so a logical plan for it to be marketed and ultimately sold.  We primarily represent Sellers of gas stations and car washes with values of $800K - $8M per location.


We are highly experienced in positioning multiple locations of “cluster sales” to REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) and investment groups, whether the sale is a solo location or positioned for group sale, we are the team to trust.

 


OUR MISSION AND PURPOSE

Our Mission has remained the same since 1985. Providing the highest level of professionalism and service to our Sellers and honor to our Buyers, to ultimately commence a Close of Escrow for each listing.


1) Standard:  Our standard 12 month exclusive listing requires no retainer and the recommended commission is 8% for the first $1M, 7% for the second million and 5% for every million of the sales price per individual car wash.


2) Optional - Packaging: Upon authorization of our 12 month Exclusive Listing Agreements, Seller shall pay a non refundable retainer of $5,000 per location to cover costs to produce and assemble said package.  This $5K will be credited back to the seller through escrow from our commission if the business is sold within 12 months from listing.  Our standard commission percentage fee as stated above will apply. The package is designed to be a” fast track” for Buyers to review, Lenders to go to specific “package” section and get complete and immediate information to facilitate loans.  Appraisers too will be expedited by cutting their typical evaluation time in half (see PACKAGING in this Web Site for more specific details).


3) Multiple Locations:  For Sellers who have 2 or more locations a discounted and negotiated commission fee will be mutually determined.

 


INITIAL EVALUATION

Our earned reputation in selling gas stations and car washes is undisputed (see REFERENCES in our Web Site).  We encourage any Sellers contemplating to sell their business to call several of their local Business Brokers and validate “their” recommended commissions of 10%. After reviewing our fee arrangement, our commissions are 1%-3% below our competition, who is “general business brokers”.  We are specialists respected in the gas station and car wash industry and earn your business every step of the way.


Professionally, if after our complimentary initial evaluation, we are not in mutual agreement of the “Market Value” of your gas station or car wash, we’ll simply decline listing your business and urge you to hire that “general business broker” to market your business for sale.  CWB and GSB has, and will remain, the LEADER in the gas station and car wash broker industry, by not listing every business- only the ones that are saleable. 


How We Perform For Buyers:
Buyers are given all the honor and fair dealing that is afforded to complete their inquire of any of our listed gas stations and car washes for sale. Upon their request of any of our listings, a confidentiality form authorized, we will provide them with a list of current lenders, insurance, equipment dealers etc., to assist them in their investigation of each carwash listing (see REFERENCES in our Web Site).


(Buyer-Broker Agreement)
Often times buyers will alternatively, at their option, enter into a Buyer Broker Exclusive Agreement with us (BBE).  That agreement hires us as their exclusive agent in finding a gas station or carwash for them with specific geographic and financial terms.  If we have that business already in inventory to sell them, the goal is achieved immediately. The BBE instrument provides us to bring unsuspecting carwash owners” letters of intent” or” purchase agreements” on behalf of our registered “buyer” for gas stations and carwashes that are not actively on the market.   Reciprocal confidentiality of both “Buyer” and “Seller” is strictly preserved, as when the Seller typically hires us to sell their business. Our commission fees for this BBE here are the same, as for business owners that list their carwashes for sale. However, never do we charge both buyer and seller double if we sell them a carwash already in inventory.
