Todd Warner CVA, CM&AA, CMAP
Agribusiness Brokers
Serving Fresno County, CA
WarnerWest Advisors represents business owners who are ready to sell — providing the valuation work, the buyer relationships, and the transaction experience to get them to closing with what their companies are actually worth. We work across manufacturing, distribution, agribusiness, healthcare, and professional services, with a primary focus on Central and Northern California. What sets us apart isn't a process or a pitch — it's experience. Our principals have founded, grown, and sold businesses themselves. We've sat at the seller's side of the table. That changes how we think about what owners need, and it changes how buyers respond when we're in the room. We're headquartered in Fresno and have spent years building relationships with the buyers, owners, and advisors who define the Central Valley economy. When we say we know this market, we mean the specific dynamics of San Joaquin Valley manufacturing, agribusiness, and distribution — not a generic California approximation. Combined with a national network of private equity groups and strategic acquirers, that local depth consistently produces competitive offers for our clients. Our team has founded, grown, and sold businesses — not just advised on them. We know what it means to walk away from something you spent decades building. That experience shapes how we represent sellers, how we frame the business to buyers, and how we fight for every point of value in negotiations. It's a different kind of credibility. Anyone can sign an engagement letter. Our reputation has been built by what our clients actually walk away with — not what was promised in a pitch deck. We're selective about the engagements we take because we're only interested in transactions we can execute well. Our clients' results are the only marketing that matters to us.
