At Practice Sales and Appraisals, we help dental professionals across California navigate lease negotiations with clarity and confidence. Whether you’re assigning a lease during a sale or negotiating renewal terms, we protect your interests and position your practice for long-term stability.
We negotiate lease terms designed to support your practice today and into the future. This includes aligning lease duration, rent structures, renewal options, and occupancy clauses with your operational goals—whether you're planning to sell, expand, or remain in place long term. Every negotiation is rooted in preserving practice value while reducing future financial strain.
Whether you’re transitioning out and assigning the lease to a buyer or renegotiating your own renewal terms, we make sure the process is handled strategically. We work to eliminate transfer restrictions, secure better renewal rates, and ensure the lease supports both short-term deal flow and long-term stability for whoever occupies the space.
We act as the central point of contact between you and your landlord, taking the stress out of communication. By managing expectations, presenting terms professionally, and facilitating compromise, we help prevent delays, misunderstandings, or strained relationships—keeping your transition or operation on track without disruption.
Our team carefully reviews leases for hidden or risky clauses that could cost you down the line. These include steep rent escalations, ambiguous repair responsibilities, early termination penalties, and restrictive use or assignment language. We proactively push to eliminate or amend these terms before they become a problem.
We build exit strategy options directly into your lease. This could include assignment clauses for future sale, sublease provisions, or expansion rights. Our goal is to future-proof your lease so you’re never boxed in by inflexible terms if your circumstances change—whether selling, scaling, or moving your practice.
Unlike generic brokers, we understand how lease terms specifically impact dental practice value, operations, and buyer appeal. Our in-depth analysis goes beyond legal review—we evaluate how each clause affects cash flow, transition potential, and competitive positioning, giving you a lease that supports long-term success.
We know what lease terms buyers look for—and how they impact the value and attractiveness of your practice.

Lou helped sell my dental practice very efficiently and guided me throughout the process. Once he gets on board with you, nothing deters him from reaching the finish line. I will be grateful for his help, always.Posted on Google Shahenaz AhmedTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

It’s your final decision to make. Will always recommend. You won’t regret.Posted on Google Aleksandr DadashyanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lou helped us when my husband’s health and his eventual passing forced me to sell the practice. He was compassionate and kind and guided my family through what was a very emotional time. I highly recommend Lou to anyone who is interested in selling their practice. He’s extremely knowledgeable, experienced and very connected. He’ll get the job done!Posted on Google Wendi DarwinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I wish so much in retrospective that I would have chosen Lou first. The broker which I had chosen appeared to be good friends with the attorney which was chosen for the buyer; as such I was poorly represented. It was not a very enjoyable experience dealing with that broker. Lou came in at the last minute without even asking for a commission to save the deal.Posted on Google Sheldon HoughTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lou is a class act and always has both parties interests in mind. Highly recommend!Posted on Google Ishan PuriTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very happy with Lou. He delivered when other brokers seemed disinterested. He got more for me than anyone else even suggested.Posted on Google Craig JohnsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a dental office that required an immediate emergency sale due to a serious medical issue that was diagnosed earlier this year. Lou took charge of all the details from the start, allowing me to focus on my health. Not only did he match me up with the best possible buyer but he also continues to check up on my health, months after the sale!Posted on Google Louis MoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

"Lou is considerate of the Buyer's needs while also selling your practice quicky. He cares about who the practice is sold to and follows up after the sale."
"Lou sold me the practice 25 years ago and then sold it when I retired. One buyer, one showing, sold at more than asking price."
"How about full asking price, 15 buyers in one month, broker present at each showing, sale finished in 40 days. I'm 100% satisfied with the services!"
"If you're looking to buy or sell a practice, you gotta call Lou-he's the best."
