    Big Deal or No Big Deal - You Decide   This post is inspired by Debbie Reynolds’s ActiveRain challenge on “A Really Big Deal or No Big Deal "   About ten years ago, I helped a small business owner selling his business in Sarasota County, Florida. The listing went under contract quickly, due diligence was done on time, buyer was satisfied with the report and everyone in the transaction was excited and happy.

After all the effort and the time spent, it was wasted for nothing because no closing no pay.  Is it a Big deal or no big deal?     A few years later I received a call and the caller said “Do you remember me, I am….   I want to inv...
