Testimonials

The Halterman's made my retirement come about and made it come true and people need to know what Murphy Business can do.

We had been trying to sell our business for 7 years with different people. Dick made it clear that he would not waste our time with people who could not afford the business or were not serious about purchasing the business. There was just a sense of relief and he made it easy.

Nancy Wade

There's a lot that goes into looing for a business and if you don't have experience or knowledge of where to start, he is a really good source for doing that.

We were the previous business owners of a McDonalds Franchise in West Virginia. Because Dick is also an accountant, he makes for a good source of what a business is worth, looking at their financials and helping you to understand those as well. We would recommend Murphy Business to anyone looking to buy a business.

Mike Delaney, Wanda Delaney

I would like to express my appreciation to Dick for his establishing the value and assisting us with transitional issues of the business that we acquired.

His insight into business and willingness to help us in any way possible was very refreshing and appreciated.

Jordan D. Rohrer

He made the experience very easy for me as a first time buyer, giving advice on how the processes works.

Dick was very helpful in the purchase of my business and a pleasure to work with. He was able to assess my strengths as a buyer and convey those strengths to the seller. He also put together a very comprehensive business summary and appraisal that helped this property stand out from others that I was looking at.

Mark Squires

Through the process of selling our business, we have not only found a good agent, but a valued friend.

Dick Halterman was recommended to us through the “Small Business Development Program” at JMU. Through the process of finding a buyer for our business, we found him to not only to be a very resourceful agent with high integrity, but one that spent many hours searching for that “qualified buyer”. He took the time to hear our needs and made us feel like we were always on the forefront of his agenda. There are lots of agents that are glad to list your business, but if you want someone that will truly take a personal interest in your success, Dick is the best you can find.

Steve Brydge

We would highly recommend Dick and Murphy Business for your professional needs.

Dick Halterman was employed by our school photography business in 2009 in order to locate a buyer. He was extremely professional, diligent and he helped us to find the “right” fit for our company. He knew that we had to continue to work during this time so he graciously handled all of the mundane day-to-day needs of selling the business. His personal involvement was a great comfort to us both and it enabled the transition to move easier.

Janet Moses, Liz King

I can highly recommend his services in this field.

Richard supplied a business valuation of our family business as we faced a generational ownership transition.

Lynn Suter

A few years ago Richard represented the selling party and I represented the buying party.

Richard was thorough, patient and willing to explore ideas to help his client achieve their goals. Richard was very effective representing his clients interests and at the same time helped facilitate a smooth transaction that was very emotional for his clients. His professionalism and good nature kept the process moving and in the end everyone involved felt good about the outcome. Based on my experience I can recommend Richard.

John Flynn

I had the pleasure of closing a recent transaction for a mutual client together with Dick. It was a unique deal, as all of them are, but I found Dick to be very responsive and good to work with.

He stuck his neck out for our client and went well above and beyond the call of duty, which I found to be refreshing. I do not hesitate to recommend Dick or Ben at Murphy and I find their services invaluable for many entrepreneurs. They've also done a good job positioning themselves in the market and industry with a wide array of services under one roof. Dick and family are well known throughout the area and connected, which combined with his knowledge makes him a terrific resource and someone you want on your side. I look forward to utilizing their many services in months to come, including equipment appraisals, which also makes them distinctive in the Valley.

I have known Dick for about 30 years but only in the last few have I begun to work with him more closely.

He is enjoyable to work with. Dick is on time, knowledgeable and gets results. Whenever I need something done he is right on it. You can't go wrong with Dick . He is very resourceful but if he can't do something he will tell you. Dick has great integrity. I will always look to him first if I need his type of services.
