After more than 30 years in business, we began researching and planning for the sale of our business 3 years before putting it on the market. Realizing this would be our first time to sell a business, we wanted the benefit of the experience that comes with being a successful salesman that is immersed in the market. We selected Michael Rubin and MDR Associates because of his track record and his system for marketing and closing the sale. We transferred ownership to the new owner 5 months after we signed on with Michael. Michael’s marketing generated 80 plus inquiries and 6 interviews with qualified buyers. Michael’s experience and expertise were available at every step of the process to help us evaluate the offers to determine who was the best match. His assistance as a buffer between buyer and seller was invaluable as we navigated the unfamiliar waters of the buyer’s due diligence and closing the sale. Michael’s fee was more than covered by time and money he saved us. We wanted the very best broker to help us through this process and Michael Ruben is that guy!

Michael and Team are great to work with. The process was quick with no surprises. I was most impressed with the entire team’s quick response and good communication. If you want to sell your business, have a talk with MDR first and see if it’s a good fit.

I have worked with Michael for many years, and he is one of the best brokers in DFW. He is very knowledgeable in the M&A space, and he also has a great support team that makes the process very fast and smooth. I look forward to working with Michael and MDR & Associates very soon.
Samuel Criales
In business for 31 years my wife and I were ready to move on into retirement! Praying about how and when to sell! I was referred to MDR and Associates Michael Rubin from a dear friend from our church. I'm so grateful for this connection as MDR made the sell so simple by vetting numerous potential buyers during the most trying times of Covid! Michael understood our business and the value of the integrity it carried. He was their from the beginning to the end which made the sale go smoothly! Now enjoying what we love family ministry and each other our life has never been better! I highly recommend MDR and Associates to market your highly valued business and get you the best value for your hard earned asset! Michael and his team are second to none!

I've known Michael for years, and he’s always been a straightforward and trustworthy individual. Michael went above and beyond to help a friend by providing a thorough evaluation and successfully selling his business—twice—at top market value. If you’re looking for a company that truly values your years of hard work, MDR & Associates will ensure you maximize the next chapter, whether it’s retirement or a new business venture.

The MDR team did a fantastic job in supporting me with a partner buyout of my GC firm. His team was professional, diligent and timely in performing their assessments, documentation reviews and negotiations. With their focus on creating a win-win proposition for all parties involved, they put integrity first in all that they do.
Arlan Sheets
Michael is one of a kind who is truly outward focused on the needs of his clients and those he works with. He consistently does what he says and is not only a truth teller, but sincere and loyal bulldog for his clients who always end up blessed or he does not want to be involved. Working with Michael is unlike working with anyone else I can assure you and all those I have introduced to him say the same. Just look at his website and watch the personal testimonies!!!
Joseph Mazzola
I have known Mike and MDR and associates for years. I have referred several of my meaningful clients to them and it is always the same. “Unbelievable service and ethics”. I can’t imagine referring anyone else.
Kirk Lewis
Michael Rubin is a phenomenal broker. He has helped us tremendously and we highly recommend talking to him before selling your business.
August Milazzo
Michael and his team are another level of M&A firms. They care about the business owner and making sure the deal is the right deal, not the right now deal. They will be with you every step of the way and make sure that the process has the least amount of stress for the business owner. The best part is, if they are not the right fit for you, they will help you find the firm that is! Top notch customer service and next level in making the deal happen!
Jeff Crilley The Jeff Crilley Show
We had a fantastic deal closed with Michael and his team. Incredibly responsive team. They worked hard to simplify the due diligence process. Michael understands the art of negotiation and how to manage the typical deal tensions that can arise.
Scott Minkowsky MAG Capital Partners
I've attended Michael Rubin's presentations and had one on one meetings with him. He is truly a man of his craft. I've seen some of the merger and acquisition transactions he has been involved with and his approach is amazing. Michael's dedication and perseverance manifests itself in how his firm maximizes value for each and every one of his clients.

MDR and Associates is the real deal. If you want a company that will treat you fairly and sell your business with the highest value possible then this is the company to hire.
Carl Thomas
When I first explored the idea of marketing our business it seemed as though it would be a daunting task and truth be told, it would have been. I fielded multiple agencies and MDR quickly rose about the others. When you are selling your business it is important that you partner with a broker that not only knows how to market, but understands the emotional aspect as when you build something as I have from the ground up, it becomes part of you. The care Michael and team bring to the table is unmatched. You cannot do better…
Aaron Sanders President, Red River Logistics
I selected Michael because I knew him to be a man of honor and integrity from our time in church together where I witnessed him being a servant leader outside of the business world. He was patient with both sides of the transaction and listened to both of our needs and expectations. We closed the deal because we worked with Michael and his entire MDR team. Thank you so much for seeing us through all the way to the closing and wiring of funds.
Sheri Wilson Owner & CEO of Multiple Insurance Agencies
Our experience with MDR & Associates was top notch. Michael, the founder & CEO walked us through INCREDIBLY stressful time of selling our niche survey business in central Texas. Through their unique 10-step process, the MDR team was able to achieve WAY MORE than the original asking price!!! What more can you ask for?
Brenda Sies Former Owner, Inland Geodetics, Inc.
As a multi-unit franchise owner, I felt so well taken care of in our transaction experiences with Michael Rubin and the entire team at MDR & Associates! I found them to have the highest levels of Professionalism, Integrity, and Character. These are values that mean something to me… and I believe to all business owners!
If all that wasn’t enough…..their premiere negotiation skills and history of success won me over!
Todd Bell Owner & CEO, Multiple Massage Heights Locations
Thank you MDR and Associates! Michael was key in getting my business sold so much faster and for more profit than I thought was possible. Not only was he concerned with me getting a good price for my business but he was also concerned about finding the exact right buyer that would take my business and care for it the way I would. His ability to find the perfect buyer was amazing. He did all the work and took the stress of the sale off of my shoulders. He was quick to answer my calls and made time for all of my questions and concerns. I would highly recommend MDR and Associates to anyone ready to sell their business!
Andrea Hale Sweet Art Bakery
Michael Rubin and his staff at MDR & Associates were exceptional. They are a world class firm that combined true caring for both the seller and buyer with true expertise in securing and negotiating the transaction. From the first meeting to the follow up with all parties well after the transaction closes they have the tools, resources and knowledge to ensure a successful transaction that closes in as little time as possible with all key boxes checked from legal to financial. I highly recommend MDR & Associates for anyone looking to sell or buy a business and I am not only grateful for them but I look forward to having them on my team for future transactions!

When I first met Michael in Austin to discuss the possible sale of my custom home building business I have to admit, there was a great deal of skepticism. I’d spoken with several other home builders and the general consensus was you have a great business but will be very difficult to sell. Mike’s experience combined with an unbelievable positive attitude convinced me over one lunch meeting that he could execute, needless to say we signed an agreement then and there. Less than 30 days later I was meeting 2 prospective buyers! With Mike’s continued guidance we picked our buyer and the rollercoaster began. Mike expertly navigated the deal through all the ups and downs, twists and turns, brought it back from life support and ultimately did what only the best brokers can do, kept the buyer & seller moving forward and both happy with the deal! Mike was an absolute legend through the entire process and the ultimate reward was not just selling the business but creating a lasting friendship with Mike and the new owner of the company! Mike and his team are quite simply the best.
Stephen Ferguson EFF Custom Homes
Our first meeting with MDR & Associates was very comfortable and we loved their knowledge in selling a business for both the buyer and seller. The entire team were very professional and knowledgeable in every aspect of selling a business. Every member of the team made sure everything went smoothly all communication was courteous and professional. Their recommendation of an attorney to get through the legal process went smooth and very professional to work with. They also suggested to get our business evaluated with a CPA/Evaluation firm for tax purposes. That evaluation ended up saving us 100K plus in taxes. For the cost of the evaluation it was worth the cost. The process was all done within 30 days. The dealmaker did very well following up with each process and has stayed in contact after sale was final. I would highly recommend MDR & Associates.
Cody and Kandice Sheffield Boone’s Heat. & A/C, Inc.
Our experience with MDR & Associates was first class! We were extremely impressed from the first time we met the team at MDR. They are experts in selling businesses and will most definitely give you valuable advice! The entire process was smooth from first discovery meeting until the wiring of funds. Their goal is to facilitate the sale of your business for the best price and terms as quickly as possible. If you’re ready to sell your business, call MDR & Associates. They do what they say and my wife and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results.

After 30+ years of working hands on in our family business we were ready to look towards the future for our company. When we decided that we were ready to sell it was important for us to find a company to help us with the sale that respected our relationships with our employees and customers. We met with the team at MDR Associates and felt their core values were in line with ours. The dealmaker worked with us through the process to match us with the right buyers for our company and desires for its future. his guidance and expertise from the start to closing helped us to make this a win for us, a win for the buyer and a win for our customers and employees.
David & Cyndi Keeler
I just wanted to say thanks to you and your team. There are times in my life when God has introduced me to just the right people and this was one of those times. As I look back on the process I realize how little I knew about the sale of a business. I was so blessed to be involved with your team of experts. I received a phone solicitation early March. We had our first meeting mid March. I had an offer that exceeded my expectations end of April. Closed the sale mid May. During the process your team put me together with the right buyer, led me through the process, put me together with an expert attorney. Victor and his partners advised me to structure the payment in a manner that literally saved me $40k in tax payments. As I write this from my recliner, I have the funds deposited in the bank, the buyers are operating their new company with most all transitions completed, and all my former employees are still employed and appear to be happy with the change. Win, Win, Win. That is the way I wanted to exit.
Dale King King Air Conditioning, Inc
I started my company twenty years ago. When I was ready to sell, I interviewed several business brokers. I spoke with MDR & Associates because my financial advisor referred me to the firm. The entire team was very knowledgeable and straightforward answering my questions so I chose them. They quickly found the right buyer, negotiated everything on my behalf and sold my company for maximum value. I highly recommend MDR & Associates and the highly experienced team at MDR & Associates to anyone considering selling their business.
Almir Demorais Total Cleaning Services
When I decided to list my company with MDR & Associates I had no idea what to expect. My 35-year old company was like a child to me and the team at MDR & Associates empathized with me. They walked me through the process of valuing my company, timing the sale and negotiating a consulting agreement with the new owner. Incredibly, we cycled through the entire transaction in less than 90 days. I would certainly recommend Michael and Brian to anyone considering selling their business and would be available to speak with anyone for advice.
Jerry Schmidt Redstone Visual
MDR & Associates did a great job to navigate and work with the Buyer as they sold my business. Michael has a great network of clients and is excellent at matching a buyer and seller together. Michael and assistant Vanessa are good people that put the right care in the M&A transaction.

Starting a business is hard. Running a business is even harder. But, selling a business is the hardest of all. It’s an emotional process selling something you love so much. The folks at MDR served as the ultimate matchmaker between us and the new owner of Southern Comfort Mechanical. They treated my husband and I with sensitivity and brought a sense of peace throughout the entire transaction all the while getting us a premium price.
Jason and Laurie Fraser Southern Comfort Mechanical
I had built a business over the course of 13 years in an intentional way. I enjoyed what I was doing, but I had come to a point in my career that I wanted to do other things. That led me to needing to find a professional set of folks to help me transition out of my current business. I found that with the crew at MDR. I can’t say enough about their professionalism and care given to me during the sales process. I will enlist their services next time I need to sell a business.
Aaron Davis GreenTex Lansdscaping
Selling your own company is such an emotional and overwhelming experience. We really needed someone we could trust and decided to let MDR & Associates help us. they did an outstanding job of walking us through the entire process from the first meeting to the final closing. If you need to sell your business, let MDR & Associates help you!
Patricia Bass Discovery Learning Center
Communication and integrity are key to a successful M&A transaction. Michael ensured these were managed effectively on both sides of the transaction. They cared less about getting a deal done and more about getting the right deal done for the right reasons with a willingness to walk away if needed. We will work with them again!
Mike Roberts RX Worldwide
I think anyone can find a buyer. The road from finding a buyer to cashing a check is fraught with pitfalls. The whole process is fraught with emotion and sometimes the smallest things can blow a deal up. The MDR team made sure our buyer and us kept our eye on the goal. We would not have gotten the amount of money we got for our business without them negotiating for us and we certainly would not have closed without MDR mediating the whole process.
Leonard E. Lynskey Complete Pharmacy Care
MDR is different from other Firms. My experience has been that they genuinely care about the deal, not just closing the deal. MDR is very attentive and understands ways to get deals done, that others don’t. I have a continued relationship with MDR today, and plan on continuing to work on transactions with them in the future. These are the guys you want in your corner!
Andrew Craft Titan Fence & Supply Co.
MDR & Associates has been a great relationship for me as I have steered through more than one business buy/sell deal. They were able to find the right partner to my buy/sell needs and in an incredibly fast time frame. They get results and have Christ in their heart. It doesn’t get much better.
