Richard Jamgocyan

X-CHANGE REALTY & INVESTMENTS

Serving Los Angeles County, CA

Profile Description I specialize in the sale and valuation of established, qualified businesses, representing owners who want accurate pricing, confidentiality, and maximum value. I am an expert business evaluator, providing realistic, defensible valuations based on financial performance, market conditions, industry multiples, and current buyer demand. I actively work with a network of qualified national and international buyers, including strategic buyers, operators, and investor groups seeking well-run U.S. businesses. This expanded reach increases competition and helps drive stronger sale outcomes. Unlike many brokers who simply list businesses, my focus is on completed transactions. I work hands-on with sellers to properly prepare, position, and market their businesses to financially qualified buyers only. My background includes a Business Degree from Munich Business School (Germany), 45 years of real-world business experience, and the creation and sale of six successful California businesses, each built from the ground up and sold for substantial value. I understand valuation, operations, scalability, and what serious buyers expect. I take a selective approach to representation. Businesses must be properly documented and realistically priced to qualify. My philosophy: I don’t just list businesses — I sell them.

Buy or Sell an Automotive and Boat Business in California
Some automotive and boat businesses for sale specialize in retail, while others focus on providing services like repairs and maintenance, and still others offer a combination of both. From auto repair shops and car washes to towing companies, truck stops, and gas stations, the businesses in the automotive sector keep consumers moving. The auto repair and maintenance industry is bouncing back from 2020 pandemic related disruptions. The auto industry accounts for 3% of GDP for the U.S. and employs over 1.7 million people. This sector is expected to expand by over 5% during the next decade. With projected growth in both marine and automotive repair industries, businesses in these sectors may be good investments. One of the primary advantages of buying an existing automotive or boat business is that it comes with established credibility in the market.
