Whether you’re planning for retirement, relocating, or pursuing a new career path, our team handles every step of the process—from valuation to closing—so you can stay focused on your next chapter with confidence.
We handle the full sales lifecycle—from the initial consultation through closing day. Our team manages everything behind the scenes, including documentation, scheduling, communication, and logistics, allowing you to stay focused on running your practice. With our process-driven system, there are no loose ends or surprises. We aim for a low-stress experience that protects your time, energy, and revenue flow throughout the sale.
Our customized marketing campaigns are strategically designed to attract only the most serious, financially qualified buyers. We create confidential listings and leverage direct outreach to our exclusive database of dentists, group practices, and investors. With high-impact marketing materials and professionally presented data, your practice is positioned to stand out in a competitive market—without ever compromising your confidentiality.
Our dental-specific valuation process is built on decades of experience, industry benchmarks, and financial modeling. We analyze collections, profitability, overhead, market conditions, and buyer financing requirements to determine the right asking price. This ensures your practice is competitively priced, supports lender approval, and delivers maximum value. Our valuations are also widely respected by banks, attorneys, and consultants throughout California.
We understand that discretion is essential when selling a dental practice. That’s why all listings are anonymous, and all buyer inquiries are handled under strict non-disclosure agreements. Only after a prospect is fully vetted and financially qualified do we reveal the practice identity and details. This approach protects your staff, patients, and reputation while maintaining business continuity until the sale is complete.
Our experienced team guides you through every phase of negotiation, offer management, and final agreements. We advocate on your behalf to ensure terms align with your financial goals and legal protections. We also coordinate with attorneys, lenders, and escrow agents to keep the closing on track. From counteroffers to contingencies, we provide expert insight that keeps deals moving forward smoothly.
The sale doesn’t end at closing—we help you navigate the transition to ensure a seamless handoff to the new owner. This includes drafting transition plans, assisting with staff and patient communications, and supporting onboarding efforts for the buyer. Whether you're walking away entirely or staying on short-term, we help manage expectations and create continuity for both sides of the transaction.

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 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!"
