Jean Seguin – Restaurateur Turned Broker

Restaurant Broker Jean Seguin

Before entering real estate and business brokerage, Jean spent many years as a restaurant owner and operator. This hands-on experience gave him firsthand knowledge of every aspect of running a food business – from staffing and inventory to marketing, cash flow, and customer experience.

Jean understands the emotional and financial realities of owning a restaurant. He knows what it takes to build value, manage risk, and prepare a business for sale. This background allows him to speak the same language as restaurant owners and position listings in a way that resonates with serious buyers.

Few brokers truly understand restaurant operations from the inside. This is what sets Restaurant Business Broker apart.

Pubs & bars
Pizza shops
Ethnic food concepts

This specialization allows us to:

Price restaurants accurately
