ROCIO BUSTELO
Yaffe International Realty
Serving New York County, NY
With over 20 years of experience in real estate, I bring a strong background in negotiations, investments, and complex transactions to the business brokerage industry. I specialize in helping business owners successfully market and sell their businesses while connecting qualified buyers and investors with the right opportunities. One of my greatest strengths is my natural talent for negotiation and my ability to move transactions forward. I am skilled at building trust, communicating persuasively, and finding common ground between parties while maintaining professionalism, respect, and discretion. My strong interpersonal skills, good judgment, and ability to create positive momentum allow me to help turn opportunities into successful transactions—an advantage that can make a meaningful difference for clients who choose to work with me. My approach is based on confidentiality, professionalism, strategic marketing, and personalized service. I understand that selling a business is much more than a transaction—it often represents years of hard work, dedication, and investment. That is why I work closely with each seller to understand their goals, properly position their business in the market, identify serious buyers, and guide the transaction from initial discussions through negotiations and closing. For buyers and investors, I provide personalized assistance in identifying businesses that align with their investment goals, experience, and financial objectives. I use my negotiation skills and relationship-building abilities to help clients evaluate opportunities, communicate effectively, and move confidently toward the right decision. Whether you are considering selling your business, purchasing an established company, or exploring a new investment opportunity, my goal is to provide trusted guidance, strong representation, and a smooth, confidential transaction from beginning to end.
