Here are the restaurant broker's top ten restaurants for sale for the month of November, 2014.  Our buyers frequently ask how the list is generated and here is the answer!  We measure the number of phone calls, feedback and inquiries from all our marketing channels.  While our powerhouse website generates the most looks, don’t forget the restaurant brokers are also out there on social media, on the radio each week and on YouTube talking about restaurants for sale.  We take all the activity generated from all this marketing and combine it with a count of online confidentiality agreements signed, listing views and other data generated from our powerhouse restaurant for sale website, wesellrestaurants.com.     

We also check in with our Certified Restaurant Brokers to see which listings are driving the most phone calls.  We want to know what restaurant buyers are talking about with each of our agents.  At the end of the    
month, we add it all up and see which listings make it to the coveted top 10 positions out of our hundreds of     restaurant for sale listings.

The time of year definitely impacts both traffic and the number of deals. November 2014 was a very busy month. Many sellers were working to finalize transactions before the 2013 year end. This is a common     practice as some want to move capital into an investment before year end for tax purposes while other restaurant buyers simply want to ring in the New Year as a restaurant owner.  

The most popular restaurant for sale this month actually wasn't for sale - it was for lease! This downtown university location got the most hits and most looks. We have presented several letters of intent to the
landlord but haven't finalized one yet if you're interested in this great opportunity. The adjacency to a
university is very appealing and they even allow beer and wine at the site!
