Some excerpts from a recent email with a purchaser (rather, a person with a dental license looking to become a small business owner): Purchaser: "Another broker I met with once before said to me 'I have never met a buyer that felt the price wasnt to high'." Response: We are NOT brokers - they just introduce people and wait around for something to happen so they can collect a commission - we HAVE had purchasers who didn't feel the price was too high (and even some who have offered more because they realized the value of the relationship with the seller was far greater than the resulting monthly payment) - so we don't subscribe to the 'get a good deal/price' philosophy, rather a 'get a good opportunity' and make it worth more than it was purchased for through an effective transition and business plan as an owner, not just reselling because it was purchased at a 'low tide' in prices.
