Richard OBrien, chief Executive Officer and founder, stated in a news release he expects 2011 to be a solid year for acquisitions in targeted sectors. Likewise, O'Brien points to an increase of real estate for sale, which should lead to a reduction in prices, and predicts the spread between buyers and sellers will close over the next year, resulting in a favorable acquisition market.
