What our clients say.

Ray Stanjevich has worked with Steve on the purchase of a 7-unit Friends American Grill and says: Steve Josovitz did everything he promised. Professional from start to finish.

In all three deals we have worked together on, you have been professional, thorough, and enjoyable to work with. Your commitment to getting deals done is evident in every step of the process and I cannot thank you enough for all your help in making my restaurant career a successful one.

Our experience with you and your fine company was nothing short of outstanding! You spent undue time sorting through all the potential opportunities until we finally chose Olde Towne Tavern & Grille in Suwanee. It was the perfect fit for us. Anyone looking to purchase a restaurant in Atlanta — Steve Josovitz and the Shumacher Group are the right professionals to aid you.

Steve — You are the man! Thanks again for bringing us all together with Daryl and Brent of Raving Brands in buying the two Famous and Original Flying Biscuit Cafes. It was a pleasure working with you. You are definitely the BEST in the business and my broker of choice!

I feel obligated to tell you how much I appreciate the way you responded to my after-hours request late last Friday. With your full schedule that evening you took the time to brief me on each listing we would be visiting. This should be the norm in our industry but unfortunately it is not. It was very positive for me to work with someone that places their client's needs first no matter what they may be.

Steve Josovitz is very adept at matching the right buyer with a seller. He is the consummate professional. Knowledgeable, understanding of critical issues and hard driving.

From day one you were right on track and listened to exactly what we wanted out of a broker. In my wildest dreams I could not have imagined selling our pizzeria in Canton so quickly. Seriously, 2 days must be a record!!! Even the closing was smooth and painless. Thank you so much for everything — especially the assurance that comes with choosing Shumacher.

You sold our small business in a timely manner, were always available to us and provided us with personalized service and sound advice. It was a pleasure working with you. Thank you for selling our restaurant!

I just wanted to take a minute and express a sincere "Thank You" for the help in the purchase of The Study in historic downtown Canton. I appreciate all the attention, the advice and the follow through. I will keep you in my thoughts if I ever decide to get a second business.

Working with Steve was very seamless and professional. I look forward to hopefully working with Steve in the future.

Steve Josovitz is by far the one person you should call if you need your business sold!! I have known him to still be at his desk working at 2:00 A.M. trying to sell mine. The man gets results. PERIOD!!

Steve's market knowledge and experience enabled me to correctly price my space and he brought me a qualified tenant within three weeks. Steve is high energy, honest and knows how to make a deal happen, everything I was looking for in a broker.

When it came time for us to restructure our business, the thought of selling a few of our restaurants seemed overwhelming. After much wasted time, we remembered an old friend who we knew was the best in the business. Within what felt like minutes, our restaurants were listed on several sites. Two weeks later our restaurant was sold for a price higher than we originally anticipated. The communication we received wasn't too little or too much — if you are serious about selling your restaurant in the most quick, easy, stress-free, professional manner, then call Steve.

After talking to you it was easy to finally pin down the restaurant I wanted to purchase, make the offer and close the deal. The business was a perfect fit for me and it is making much more profit than I expected since the day I purchased it. I now have the freedom to be my own boss and more time to spend with my family. I am actually planning to buy another restaurant soon because of this great success. Thank you very much!

Steve is the Alpha Broker for Atlanta restaurants. A relentless problem-solver he will walk through walls to ensure a successful transaction for both buyers and sellers.

Steve did an amazing job staying in communication during the deal and after the closing. By far he is the best broker I have dealt with. Steven made a $700K purchase simple and quick. I would recommend Steve for anyone buying or selling a restaurant.

Steve Josovitz did an amazing job of bringing us some of the top names in the restaurant business. We were able to choose from the best, and could not be happier with our new tenant, The Big Ketch Roswell. Thank you for your professionalism Steve. We know where to go if we ever want to open another restaurant!

5 stars are not enough — he deserves 10. I looked up online to find some brokers and came across Steve at Shumacher Group, who was highly rated on Google. I called expecting a voice mail but there was a human voice on the line. We completed the entire application process at that first call. He knows every aspect and detail of ATL restaurant sales — and he used to be an owner and chef himself so he knows what you are going through. He impressed me all the way to the closing. From a very happy seller.

Thank you, Steve. I sincerely appreciate your discretion in keeping the details private. Y'all did a great job connecting us to the right buyer.

As a first-time restaurant buyer, it can be pretty daunting navigating the waters of acquiring a business. Steve literally saved me from a ton of headaches with his guidance! Everything he said or committed to was delivered 100% as promised. From scouting property all the way to closing, I felt like he had my back. Thanks, Steve — I look forward to my next venture with you being as seamless as my first!

The sale process with Steven was a breeze. He explained his process from the beginning and executed exactly as promised. Steven facilitated communication, the process, and the transaction. I will be using him again and would recommend anyone considering to lend him their trust.

Thanks so much for your opinion letter, it really helped and eventually settled for five times their original offer. Your opinion letter was the deciding factor.

Steve you are good and a great pro! I appreciate the follow-ups and step by step. This is a big commitment and growth is an integral part of business pains. I value any insight, help, and honesty.

For the past 12+ years, Maxwell Properties has enjoyed working with The Shumacher Group on many successful retail real estate transactions. We have found Harold and his team to be very professional, proactive, well-organized and extremely knowledgeable.

I wanted to thank you for your hard work and excellent service to the bankruptcy estate. You came with a very high recommendation and I was not disappointed. You were clearly the best broker I ever worked with.

We gave the Shumacher Group a listing on seven surplus properties in the metro Atlanta area and they leased each one sooner than we anticipated. They exceeded our expectations in terms of professionalism, follow up and market knowledge. Plus they're a pleasure to work with.

Harold, you have a great guy working on your team at Shumacher. It has been a pleasure working with Steve on this project. He is extremely professional and it is obvious he embraces very high moral standards, which is quite rare in this industry. He has worked so diligently for his client and really reflects your company in a great light.

Harold Shumacher is one of the most diligent brokers I work with anywhere in the country. He's great at follow up and keeping us (the client) informed about the status of any deal he's working on.

When we need to talk to someone about the hospitality business in Atlanta we call Harold Shumacher first.

Harold, I want you to know how much I appreciate the fine job you did in helping us secure our new home for Agatha's. Your clever and hospitable manner pleased me at once and when I felt overwhelmed you put a positive spin on things to keep the deal moving along. Your kindness will not be forgotten. Good job.

Harold is our broker of choice!

Thanks Harold. I must admit I have met too many local brokers and you truly impressed me. You know your market and I look forward to working with you.

The Shumacher Group has been an invaluable asset to Calico Home in the Atlanta Market. Working with Harold has been a pleasure, and with his help, we've found a great location in Marietta. Harold helped us find the best site and was instrumental in getting us the best deal. I would not hesitate to recommend the Shumacher Group to any retailer looking for strong tenant representation.

Harold, Kathy and Peter — Thanks for your work and perseverance and the results were well appreciated here in this office. I am sure we will run into each other again and possibly do other deals. A toast to a successful closing.

I have worked with the Shumacher Group for the last 15 years and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to meet Harold and Steven and use their services both for finding sites and selling our restaurants. They are the Google of the Atlanta restaurant market! Their knowledge and experience is second to none and so is their commitment to provide professional and extraordinary services for any of the parties involved in the transactions.
