I have represented dentists as sellers, buyers, startups, and for commercial real estate. I even owned a practice myself and worked the front office so can definitely speak from firsthand experience.

Dental Broker Services
Practice Sales
Selling your practice is one of the most complex and emotional decisions you’ll make in your professional life. While it’s true that brokers may charge a premium, trying to navigate a transition of this size without the right expertise can greatly increase the risk of the deal falling apart. As an independent broker, I provide support to help you avoid costly mistakes and reach a successful close.
Buyer Rep
Buying a practice seems easy at first until you realize everyone is on the other side and things you don’t understand start moving quickly. The amount saved on your loan and purchase price alone is worth having a dental broker represent you as the buyer, but it’s really more about preserving your time and mental health during the entire transaction.
Startup Consultant
If buying a practice is overwhelming, starting one from scratch is on another level. If you can get past that first year though, the reward of building something yourself is hard to describe to someone who has never done it. However, what some of these firms charge is highway robbery when you’ll be making zero dollars for awhile.
Commercial Realtor
There’s a lot more to buying or selling commercial real estate than just browsing online and signing papers. I help practice owners buy and sell commercial property without the usual headaches when you’re not represented. Whether it’s your first space or you’ve done this before, I’ll make sure you know what matters, what to avoid, and how to get it done right.
Common Dental Broker Advice
Should I get consulting before or after the sale?
A lot of dentists do both, but it ultimately depends on the transaction as each practice is unique. Consulting before the sale helps you get your practice for a fair deal, and consulting after the sale helps you get it jumpstarted toward your vision. Buyer representation guides you through the purchase process, from identifying suitable practices to negotiating terms and conducting due diligence. Once the acquisition is complete, post sale consulting ensures the new practice operates efficiently by providing ongoing training, workflow optimization, and troubleshooting. Together, these services help you make informed decisions during the purchase and maximize your investment post sale, ensuring the practice thrives and aligns with your professional goals for long term success.
What's the main difference in starting and buying a practice?
Starting a dental practice offers total control over location, branding, and team, but requires significant investment in time, resources, and patient acquisition. Buying an existing practice provides an established patient base, equipment, and cash flow, but may involve inheriting outdated systems or adapting to the existing staff and culture.
I'm looking for a dental practice for sale but don't know where to start.
Try these two reputable websites to get started for on market listings in your area. I can analyze any practice in any state if you find one you want to know more about. Unfortunately there isn’t a listing site with all of them on there like in the real estate world. Even these two great links don’t have everything. A lot of deals are actually done through finding one through your own personal network believe it or not.

How much do seller brokers charge? Do they split the fee with others?
Typically I see dental brokers charge anywhere from 8-10% of the sale price, which is paid to them by the seller. They never share the commission with any other brokers or consultants, so if you want someone to represent you as the buyer then you’ll most likely need to pay someone yourself. This is a much different world than real estate, and even in that world buyer reps are having to start charging clients too. If someone can bring you value and make the transition easy, their worth is a whole lot more than their fee… financially and mentally. Not to mention it is a fraction of the cost sellers pay.
