Costa Mesa, CA – June 13, 2025 – National Business Brokers (NBB) is pleased to announce it has successfully advised on the sale of Cape Girardeau Honda, a dealership renowned for its operational excellence and commitment to customer service. The transaction closed on June 5, 2025 with NBB Senior Vice President Drew Bray advising on the transaction.
Cape Girardeau Honda has long been recognized as a leader in the automotive industry, earning the prestigious Honda President’s Award for 13 consecutive years and counting. This achievement is a testament to the strong and intentional leadership of Raquel Joseph, Joe Trujillo, and Scott Joseph, who have fostered a culture of excellence and integrity within the dealership.
The new owners, Nadir and Margaret Djavarerian, bring extensive experience to the table, already owning Ford, Hyundai, and Stellantis dealerships in the region. The acquisition of Cape Girardeau Honda further strengthens their growing footprint of highly reputable dealerships in the greater St. Louis market.
Reflecting on the process, Raquel Joseph shared, “The buy/sell experience was truly hassle free with Drew Bray from National Business Brokers. Communication between all parties, including manufacturers, bankers, seller/buyers was coordinated to keep the process moving smoothly. Truly could not have happened without his efforts. Grateful to have them involved.”
Nadir Djavarerian added, “NBB, especially Drew Bray, was an appropriately persistent facilitator to help close this deal. Without his guidance, we would never have gotten the deal closed. Often a buyer and seller are too emotional and have divergent interests to make closing possible. Drew was an amazing facilitator.”
“This transaction was a journey with a few unanticipated twists, but the highly collaborative and resolute nature of both the sellers and buyers made it a real pleasure and privilege to bring this deal across the finish line,” said Drew Bray, SVP at National Business Brokers. “We wish the outgoing ownership group all the best in their future endeavors and are confident that Cape Girardeau Honda is in exceptional hands with Nadir Djavarerian, Chris Brown, and the entire team.”
National Business Brokers congratulates all parties involved and looks forward to continuing to serve as a trusted advisor in dealership transitions and acquisitions nationwide.
