Jackie Taylor, Linn County News, 6/12/23

 Kevin,

I want to thank you for the awesome appraisal and review of the Linn County News in Kansas.

I appreciated the candid overview of the paper; some things I was aware of and knew we needed to look at, but other things were new to me.

I especially appreciated the ideas for increased revenue. We have begun some of the preliminary items necessary to become digital, but many of your ideas will greatly add to the value of the paper if someone can implement them. We have done a good job with our weekly newspaper, but need lots of advice for the digital end. 

Just loved the easy format you put the appraisal together in, complete with graphics. It was easy to follow and concise.

I’ve enjoyed working with you and want to thank you and your staff for a job well done.

 

Jackie Taylor, Publisher/CEO

Stuart R Weiss, Wake Living 3/30/22

Kevin,

I want to thank you for your efforts. You accomplished in 4 months what the local brokers couldn’t accomplish in 4 years.

You represented me very professionally and brought me quality potential buyers who were in the industry and had the resources to close the deal in a timely fashion.

You negotiated hard on my behalf in a manner that didn’t put the buyer off. You responded to my questions quickly and educated me in all aspects of the process. I felt you always ‘had my back’ and I would recommend you to anyone.

Sincerely,

Stuart R Weiss

All you need to know about Kamen & Co. Group Services

Dear Kevin (Kamen & Co. Group Services),

Although you represented the sellers in this deal, I want to thank you, Kevin Kamen, for all that you did in brokering the sale of The Wave newspaper of the Rockaways in Queens, N.Y., to my family and me. Your leadership, negotiating skill-set and knowledge of the business, market and industry served as a most valuable tool throughout the entire process. When negotiations hit a bit of a snag you were able to masterfully get the two sides together to compromise. As the buyer of this wonderful legacy newspaper, The Wave of Rockaways, I want to personally thank you for everything you did to make the sale happen. You were always professional, reasonable and did a great job!

The average 30 year mortgage rate in the US is 7.06% and the inflation rate is 8.26%. These numbers are high and reflect a difficult time ahead for many. Hurricane Ian will not do anything but further weaken our fragile economy over the next 6-12 months. Interest rates will continue to rise. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell will see to it that borrowing costs more as the Feds seek to curb spending and halt out of control inflation. Food, transportation, energy, housing, building supplies, home goods, appliances and even college tuition have all become too expensive and something must be done to realign the financial settings within our country. Powell knows this and will continue to force change. Be prepared! Work the edges of your business now and objectively shape and prepare for tomorrow. Work with your staff to refine and better define your overall strategy. Read More

Kevin Kamen, a media appraiser at Kamen & Co. Group Services in Uniondale, NY correctly predicted as far back as 2010 that a buyer would be willing to pay $42 million to $51 million for The Journal . . .”They paid about $4 million to $5 million more than they should have,” Kamen told WPRI.com . . . Kamen suggested GateHouse was motivated to pay a premium in part to ensure a competing newspaper chain didn’t get The (Providence) Journal instead. Ted Nessi, Reporter, WPRI 12 / WPRI.com
