In this episode, Mary breaks down how she and her husband Matt bought a Denver roofing, windows and siding company for just over $3M, why she kept her corporate job while Matt runs it full time, and what the first four months of ownership really looked like.

◼️ The company had run on referrals alone for over 10 years, doing $2M to $3M a year with no marketing at all

◼️ How they covered a purchase price just over $3M, and how much of it came out of their own pockets

◼️ What the broker told them about the other offers on the table, and why Mary wasn't convinced

◼️ How a company this size runs with one full-time employee and every trade subcontracted out

◼️ What the first four months of ownership actually looked like, including the one thing they still haven't been able to do
