Client Testimonials

"When we set out to purchase a business, we knew we needed a skilled team to guide us through the process. They worked tirelessly to ensure a smooth transaction, tackling every challenge with creativity and determination. Their proactive communication and attention to detail ensured that no issue went unresolved, making the process seamless and straightforward for us."

"Marianne sold me Pop-ins Creative Schoolhouse seven and a half years ago when it was in danger of being shut down by the State. I had never worked in daycare and had just moved to Colorado. We have had numerous challenges over the past nearly eight years, and she has been there at every turn with her vast insight into this business to advise, and more importantly to offer moral support. I cannot imagine buying or selling a daycare with anyone else."

"What sets Justin apart is his patience and unwavering support. It took almost a year to close the deal, and Justin was there every step of the way. Despite representing the sellers, he remained respectful and prompt in providing us with all the necessary documents and details. He is hands down the best preschool broker in Dallas."

"Michelle is a remarkable and an incredible Sales Associate! She kept me informed every step of the way and along those ways she made it fun and stress free, reassuring me that everything is going to be just fine. Selling something that is near and dear to your heart is not easy but Michelle made it easier by listening to us, encouraging us and cheering us on! A word that comes to mind: EXCELLENCE!"

"We just closed a transaction, as purchaser, on a childcare center brokered by Madolyn Cole. The transaction went very smoothly with excellent communication from Madolyn throughout the process. I highly recommend Madolyn and would work with her again in an instant."

"Madolyn did a great job marketing and representing our facilities. She brought many qualified purchasers to the table. Madolyn’s network of clients is top rate. We would not hesitate to list or purchase properties from her."

"Selling a school is a complicated process involving issues of childcare licensing, regulations, financing, the sale of real and personal property, and the business itself. But with their deep understanding of this space, positive attitudes, responsiveness, creativity, and work ethic, there was no better team for navigating these complexities and getting the job done. Thanks to them, my mother was able to sell her center and achieve her dream of retirement. I absolutely recommend these gentlemen."

"With their invaluable experience, guidance and unwavering support, we embarked on a journey that led us to acquire our very first daycare. For nearly 12 years, we have been the proud owners. When the time came for us to sell, naturally, we turned to the Enriques once again. We knew they would find the best possible buyers to ensure the center's continued success."

"Your unwavering assistance & support in acquiring the daycare center was truly remarkable. You continued to offer your support, including helping us connect with the right people for any additional help we needed. Your outstanding work and professionalism have left a lasting impression on us."

"From acquiring the necessary licenses, the loan process, inspections, preparing for our first weeks as new owners… the list goes on. We now have a beautiful, growing Montessori school with a capacity of 240 students. Lots of our success is attributed to his support and guidance. It would not have been possible for us without him."

"After working on the sale of my private school for several months with her, my first and last impression was her enthusiasm every step of the way. She kept me focused and positive throughout the process, always with an encouraging word. It was a difficult road to travel, but Michelle was more than up to the task."

"Her extensive knowledge of the market and unwavering dedication made the entire process smooth and rewarding. She took the time to patiently listen to my requirements and concerns, ensuring that every property they presented to me aligned perfectly with my business objectives. Her ability to negotiate on my behalf was truly impressive."

"During the sale, I was a nervous wreck and Michelle kept me calm and comforted throughout the entire process. Michelle has a positive attitude and that helped me so much. She is very honest and not going to say things to you just to make the deal happen. She is genuine and caring and I highly recommend her."

"I wanted to retire so I reached out to School Investment Properties because they are known to be the absolute best at brokering Schools. Enrique brought several thoroughly qualified buyers within days of signing the Listing. I do not know of any other broker that puts in the effort that Enrique does for all the parties involved."

"In a situation as complex and uncertain as the COVID19 pandemic, he accompanied and supported us throughout the purchase, licensing and transition process, with an approach that, more than a Real Estate Broker, is a business consultant who works hard and gets involved as a real partner in the operation."

"When it was time for me to retire, I was confident in working with Enrique. He worked tirelessly to bring the most qualified buyers and walked everyone through the process, from beginning meetings, after closing procedures and the change of ownership to produce a seamless experience."

"We remain impressed by Enrique's ability to lead, through his own supportive example, as he asked for cooperation from Buyer, Seller, Lenders, Accreditation Agencies, Licensing Inspectors, etc.; therefore, developing a positive and genuine rapport between all parties. To us, Enrique is the BEST of the BEST."

"From educating us on the preschool business, to helping us locate suitable schools, to post closing operational processes, we were professionally guided every step of the way. I would highly recommend these gentlemen and School Investment Properties, Inc., to effectively represent anyone from first time buyers to highly sophisticated buyers of preschools."

"Your hard work and knowledge made the whole process smooth and easy. You even took many extra steps to ensure such a smooth transition. We appreciate the hours you spent answering our questions and putting our minds at ease. We highly recommend you and the entire Team at School Investment Properties."

"We made the decision to sell our very successful preschool after 20 years and knew that School Investment Properties would handle our transaction with honesty and integrity. Our agent Michelle Van Cleave was there with us every step of the way."

"He went out of his way to make the selling process of Golden Bear Academy as smooth as possible. He is very knowledgeable at his line of work and does everything with proficiency. I would highly recommend Enrique Iturriaga to anybody who needs to buy and/or sell a daycare."

"Even though Enrique knew much more than me about the business of owning a school; he always believed that I had the determination and capability of learning everything and that gradually we would work toward me becoming the owner of my first school. Having Enrique in my life has been like having a book open to the right answer to every question I have."

"I have purchased over 20 school locations, and the service, expertise, creative ideas and overall support is well beyond anything provided by other brokers. In addition to delivering deal opportunities, ET's company provided tremendous support in financing, licensing, staffing, facility assessment, document analysis, and diligence evaluation."

"It wasn't easy, it was a long and complex financial deal and at the same time it had to comply with US immigration laws. With your help and expertise, every issue was solved and the deal was closed. I will recommend you to anybody that is interested in purchasing or selling a school."

"Thank you for your professionalism & patience (I could add more!) over the time we worked together. It's always so great and so rare to find others who reach high and get the job done. It was a pleasure!"

"While some brokers can be pushy in an untrustworthy way that makes you as a buyer want to walk, Michelle was diligent in getting me the information I requested and she presented the facts as she knew them but made no attempt to spin the data in any way. If I were to ask SIP to list my school, there is no doubt I will ask Michelle."

"ET and his company are by far the best brokerage for buying and selling preschools! Their expertise in the field is bar none! When they say 'full service' They mean it! From finding schools, financing them, insurance, rules and regs, and all hiccups are no problem for this wonderful team!"

"I have had the pleasure of working with ET Strickland and the team at School Investment Properties for well over 29 years. From the beginning, the entire team has been professional, responsive, and effective with both the purchasing and selling of my schools."

"I saw firsthand how well they know the business. I learned how to promote the center in order to sell it, how to get the financing done, how to deal with other brokers, how to manage the licensing process, how to secure insurance and so many other secrets of the trade. They have given back a lot and that's why I believed they have been blessed with such a successful career."
