Robert Hughes
Hughes Properties Inc.
Serving Riverside County, CA
For more than 20 years Hughes Properties has operated as a full-service, Business Opportunity focused organization in the Palm Springs area. We are much more than a sales force. We are consensus-oriented in that a buyer and seller must reach their optimum deal; one that is fair to both parties. A satisfying Win-Win situation for all. We work diligently with Sellers to determine the top dollar value of their business. The valuation has to reflect numerous key factors while dialing in the personalized variables of how each business is run. Over the years we have learned the truest fair value is calculated by looking closely at the Seller‘s Cash Flow to determine the Profit model for that particular business. From Day One Hughes Properties has blown past borders marketing all business listings on a global scale. We have always recognized the Palm Springs area as having it’s own particular brand of world wide recognition and appeal. As such, we advertise our business listings globally and work hard to provide service around the clock. We take pride in the number of E2 Visas we have had approved for buyers who hail from Canada, France, Switzerland, Portugal, England, Peru, along with so many other countries. Through our experience in getting these E2 Visas approved, we are able to successfully sell someone’s business thereby allowing them to write their next chapter, while a new family gains the opportunity to live the American dream of running their own business. Many times Sellers are ready to move on to an exciting new venture, or perhaps they’re ready to retire, maybe move closer to family. Wherever you are in life, whatever your goals, we’re here to help you sell the business you have built over the years and move on, while for others we stand ready to find you the ideal opportunity to be your own boss and move up.
