About

Licensed Business Broker & Real Estate Broker | 25+ Years of Deal-Making & Ownership Experience

I bring a unique blend of corporate-level deal strategy and hands-on business ownership to every client I serve. With deep experience in negotiations, marketing, financing, operations, and closing complex deals, I know how to navigate every stage of the buying or selling process — and get it done with confidence and care.

Before launching my business brokerage practice, I led several multi-million dollar initiatives in the corporate world — overseeing sales development, pricing strategy, executive management, and complex negotiations. I’ve since channeled those foundational skills into helping small business owners in the community I proudly call home.

I’m also a lifelong entrepreneur. I’ve owned and operated multiple businesses across industries including video gaming, education, real estate, business consulting, and agriculture. One of my most successful ventures grew from serving just 50 business clients to over 450 in the video gaming space — a business that ultimately merged with a company now publicly traded on the NYSE.

I come from a family of small business owners. I know what it means to wear every hat — to sweep the floors, run payroll, and carry the emotional weight of leading a team. That upbringing shaped how I show up for my clients: with resourcefulness, empathy, and a "there’s always a way" mindset.

Today, I serve as a trusted advisor and problem-solver to clients throughout the Midwest, with a strong network across Illinois and Missouri. I understand both the hard work it takes to build a business — and the emotional complexity of letting it go. When you work with me, you{re not just hiring a broker. You{re gaining a committed partner who’s walked in your shoes and will be with you every step of the way.

Steven Schumacher
I have bought and sold several businesses in my work career. I can only say that I wish I had met Misty much sooner. she appraised my business of 34 years and sold it in 6 months time. I am not known as a man with much patience. she took what was a confusing and frustrating thing for me involving the SBA and walked us through it step by step to a very satisfactory outcome. my wife and I have thank God for her all through the process. Thank you so much Misty!

Mark Conliffe
Misty and her team were awesome. I was the buyer on a business she was selling and she really helped us through the process. She was constantly on top of things, providing advice and breaking down barriers as they appeared. I’m actually concerned that my expectations for a broker are now too high. Highly recommended.
