“When Northrim Horizon initially approached us about buying our company, we weren’t interested as we wanted to keep running it ourselves. However, after further collaboration with Northrim, we were able to creatively structure a partnership that worked for both sides. Northrim has proved to be everything you want in a partner: trustworthy, reliable, and passionate.”

Desert Care – Jeff Meyer and Vince Rector

“After owning Discovery Clubhouse for over 20 years, I was approached by Northrim Horizon about selling my business. Frankly, I didn’t need to sell but I was willing to explore the idea for the right buyer and for the right price. Northrim was transparent, direct, and fair throughout the process, and I am grateful I picked them to carry on my legacy.”

Discovery Clubhouse – Brian Christiansen

“Deciding to sell our school was one of the most difficult decisions we ever made. We put our blood, sweat, and tears into running it and have loved every student, teacher, and parent we’ve had the privilege of working with. Throughout the transition, Northrim Horizon went above and beyond to ensure everyone was taken care of and treated us like family.”

Premier Academy at Trophy Club – Pete and Judy Ehrenberg

“Northrim Horizon was the ideal buyer for me and my business. They had committed funding, closed quickly, were easy to work with, and treated me and my employees fairly. I didn’t know fully what to expect when I decided to sell my business and retire, but the Northrim team was generous with their time and was flexible around how I wanted to transition out of the business.”

Total Apartment Solutions – John Lee
