Testimonials

If you are thinking about selling your dental practice DIY, then think again. If I can give you two words of advice re Simon Palmer - "HIRE HIM!”
Selling a practice is stressful enough, mentally, but Simon comes on the scene with his vast list of potential buyers & sifts through them via inspections, interviews & negotiations. Before you know it, a contract is formulated & you (the seller) have been carrying on your practice in the meantime, as if nothing has happened. Could not have wished for more!

Just a short note to express my gratitude for the work you put in, getting my dental practice sale over the line. From the beginning to the end you were a constant support and your honesty, strategy and professionalism exceeded my expectations. You responded promptly to all my concerns by e-mail or texts, even whilst I was overseas. This is of paramount importance, as constant delays can drag things on and contribute to the ‘burn-out’ of both parties. 

The manner with which you liaised with the solicitors, purchaser and seller was admirable. The contrasting styles and clashing of the two solicitors was like an epic tennis match, and often you were called upon to ‘umpire’. My apologies for this, but you did really well to guide them along and make them see the bigger picture.

So, if your job is to facilitate a sale… then you truly are a ‘facilitator’! Thanks for making the sale of my practice ( the only practice I have worked in since graduating 26 years ago) so smooth and straightforward.

I recently sold my dental practice in Melbourne through Practice Sale Search.

The sale was handled by Mr. Kevin Koton. I found Kevin to be very proactive and efficient. He explained the sale process thoroughly and handled the matter with sensitivity and professionalism. He allayed many of my concerns about the sale, and I was very appreciative for that input. Having been in practice for several decades, he made the process very easy for me and I felt supported throughout.

His recommendation and advice extended to the legal processes, which were again handled professionally and at a reasonable cost.

I was delighted by the outcome of the sale of my practice, and felt that Practice Sale Search truly maximised the value of my practice. 

Simon was absolutely brilliant in what I could only describe as very difficult circumstances.

I would like to thank Practice Sale Search, especially Kevin Koton, for their diligence in successfully concluding the sale of my practice.

Kevin managed a number of interested parties and finally, in a very calm manner, despite considerable difficulties, settled the matter.

It was handled well and I was able to relax.

Buying a practice has many aspects, let alone the competition with other buyers. The process was stressful to me, but Simon was very helpful. I have known Simon for almost 3 years now. I bought a practice in 2013 and it was a straightforward deal. There were stressful times as I was buying my first practice, but I would say Practice Sale Search greatly improves the experience for buyers.

They are happy to accommodate viewing times as per your schedule.

They give you better Information about the practice and the area - their honest opinion and advice. 

They genuinely look after the buyers. I recently bought another practice and the deal went smoothly. I would happily go ahead with Practice Sale Search for more deals.

I recently engaged the services of Simon Palmer to sell a practice of mine, after recommendation of his services from another dentist. Previously I have sold practices myself and also used another broker.

Speed of sale: 5/5

The group that bought my practice visited within 1 week of listing. We received offers pretty quickly and got what we wanted for the practice. The speed of sale was a testimony to his extensive database of buyers, as well as knowledge of the type of practice different buyers may be looking for. Within a week he had organised at least 5 parties to view the practice.

Communication: 5/5

Definitely exceeded my expectations. I was  kept informed throughout the process and after the first viewing got a comprehensive list of all the parties that saw the practice and their feedback on the practice and their likelihood of making an offer. This came by way of a written document on the Monday after the viewing. This exceeded my expectations by far, and was certainly not what I had experienced with other brokers.

Process: 5/5

Simon insisted on gathering all information before he listed the practice, which he compiled into an information memorandum. He has vast experience selling practices so knows the common requests and needs of buyers and as such got all this on the front end. The purchasers had all required info for their due diligence and I wasn't being hassled for more and more information. My previous experience was that information was only requested in dribs and drabs when requested by a buyer and as such, the whole process can get dragged out a bit. This method made everything very smooth. He also communicated with both parties solicitors as required.

It was a pretty smooth process as far as the brokerage goes. We didn't have to attend any viewings (my weekends are important to me); Simon showed buyers through himself. My previous experience was more of an introduction service where buyers were introduced and then we had to show them thru the practices. All this was taken care of. He was also very discreet in terms of staff. We had a competitor look at our practice and Simon had researched all potential buyers and was very coy in the information he gave out in the early stages with this particular person. Basically protecting our interests. Although the ADA and Medfin websites offer a cheap way to sell your practice, the breadth of buyers Simon has access to is phenomenal. Many buyers do not actively check the websites and further, many of Simon's database have made clear to Simon the exact requirements of what they look for in a practice and they are willing to pay good prices for practices that meet this criteria.

Simon went to a lot of effort to assist and progress the sale of our small practice and, despite some difficulties, the sale did proceed as agreed. I could not imagine it could have been achieved without his input.

Dear Simon,

I would like to officially thank you for a first class services provided to me while I was in the process of selling my practice. I really don't know how I would have coped with all the stress and questions and doubts that arose without your support and guidance. I later heard from the buyer that you equally supported him and helped him during the process.

You even helped the lawyers and accountants involved to make the sale/purchase as easy as possible for everyone involved.

Please note that I would be more than happy to answer anyone's questions if they are buying or selling practices regarding the services you provide.

Now I know why every dentist talks about your agency and why they all want to deal with your agency.

I truly appreciate your services from day one until even after the settlement day.

Having benefitted from Mr. Palmer’s brokerage service in the recent sale of our regional practice, we can confidently and without reservation attest that his is that rare amalgam of patiently persistent diplomacy, pragmatically insightful industry knowledge and the logistical means to ensure an optimal, fair outcome for both sides of the transaction.

We have no hesitation in recommending his service in the future.
