Looking for Broker Recommendations

Hi All, 

I am a self-funded searcher and wondering if you could recommend some brokers, in the U.S., based on your personal experience with them: 

- You have sourced a deal through them and actually closed the deal
- They are aware of ETA and Search Fund and known to take searchers a little more seriously than other brokers might.
- You have received quite a few good deals that fit in the self-funded searcher EBITDA ($500k to 2 million) and/or EV range. 

I have just started my search and thinking of first reaching out to the brokers that already have worked with searchers and searchers have had a good experience with them. 

Your valuable input is much appreciated. 

Regards, 
Surya
