Testimonials

The decision to contact Simon Palmer at Practice Sale Search, to market and sell my practice, has proven to be one the better practice management choices of my long dental career.

As a result of his discussions and regular contact with prospective purchasers, enquiries transitioned to heightened  interest, which then culminated in many genuine and, from my perspective, very pleasing offers. 

The management of each individual offer was then discussed with me, before determining the offer that was eventually accepted, and finally agreed upon.

Simon's guidance throughout the process, and his dealing with the many questions and concerns that I incessantly thrust in his direction, was both comforting and reassuring.

His knowledge of the dental industry, coupled with his experience in both buying and selling practices, resulted in an excellent outcome for me, and has made it easy for me to recommend his services, which I regard highly.

It was pretty easy. I gave Simon at Practice Sale Search a ring and he said, “no problem”. It was seamless; he found a buyer and it was done in three months.

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!

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

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.

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.

Simon Palmer from Practice Sale Search is a genuine dental practice sales consultant, bringing in expert advice and insight to help both vendors and buyers in their process. He is friendly, approachable and motivated to do the best for all concerned. We have bought two practices through Simon, and are delighted to continue doing business with him. 
 

 

Finding a dream dental practice can be a daunting task for an aspiring dental practice owner. Having been in this industry for several years and having built a group of seven dental practices has been a journey full of ups and downs, and there were several lessons learnt on the way. It has been an incredible experience getting to know and meet Simon Palmer during the course of the journey. Simon puts in that extra effort to find out every minute detail of the practice he puts up for sale. It's a great advantage to get credible information and intricate details of the practice before doing my own SWOT Analysis of the practice. It is with the greatest regard that I recommend Simon when it comes to buying/selling dental practices.

Worked with Simon Palmer on multiple occasions. Very professional and motivated agent. Tells it like it is. Worked hard to help us negotiate a mutually beneficial deal. Would absolutely work with them again.
