YOUR AGENT, ANNE SHAY
In 2002, I founded Magenta Inc. to bring affordable, beautifully designed products to the tabletop, gifting, and home decor markets. After nearly a decade of growth and success, I sold the business in 2011. I then started Arlington Designs LLC, where I now focus on private label product development and brand consulting, helping brands keep their merchandise fresh and aligned with their core strategies.
After spending over 20 years building and running my own businesses, I gained a deep appreciation for the highs and lows of entrepreneurship. That experience opened my eyes to a new passion: helping other business owners navigate this critical stage in their journey.
This is why I chose to become a licensed Business Broker in Northern California (DRE: 02111828). My background as a business owner allows me to connect with my clients on a personal level, guiding them through each step with empathy and care. Today, I’m dedicated to using my experience and expertise to represent other business owners in the sale of their businesses and assets. I serve buyers and investors throughout California, and I am a proud member of both the California Association of Business Brokers (CABB) and the International Business Brokers Association (IBBA).
I specialize in the buying and selling of businesses across Contra Costa, Alameda, San Francisco, and San Mateo counties. I work with a diverse range of business owners, including those in restaurants, retail, specialty services in the real estate sector, contractors, wholesalers, importers, and various other main-street retail and B2B businesses.
