Ivy Guo.

California restaurants, sold quietly.
Bought confidently.

For nearly a decade, Ivy ran her own restaurant in California — the kitchen, the lease, the staff, the books. That operator's perspective changes everything. Today she helps owners across the state transact restaurants discreetly, at the right number, with the right buyer.

The Process

From inquiry to closing.

A clear, three-step path with a dedicated broker at every stage.

01

Confidential consultation

We start with an NDA and a private conversation. Buyers share goals; sellers receive a no-cost valuation grounded in 8,000+ comparable transactions.

02

Curated matching

Sellers are positioned to a vetted buyer pool. Buyers receive listings — including off-market opportunities — that fit budget, region, and operating profile.

03

Negotiation & close

We coordinate landlord approvals, lease assignments, escrow, ABC license transfers, and SBA financing — start to keys, in 60–120 days on average.

Restaurant interior A note from Ivy
My approach

Quiet deals,
fair numbers.

Most restaurants don't fail because the food was bad. They fail because the lease, the timing or the buyer didn't match the business. I help owners avoid that.

For sellers, that means a confidential listing — no sign in the window, no rumors with your staff, no panic among your regulars. It means a real valuation grounded in your P&L, not a guess. And it means we only show your business to qualified buyers who can actually close.

For buyers, it means honest conversations about what's actually for sale and why. Some of the best opportunities never hit a public listing — and you'll only find them through a broker who's been on the other side of the counter.
