You will sell one practice in your life. I have done this for two decades, on both sides of the table, and I am only getting better at the most important decision of your career: who takes over the care of your dental family.
That is the fee, in writing, so there is nothing to negotiate later. The five is for practices coming to market for the first time. If another broker already had it, I have to sell it twice: sell back the story they told, then sell the truth. That is a lot of work, so I do not do it at five.
Before you sign anything, you get straight answers to the questions every owner has. What you do not get for free is the file that sells the practice; that is the work, and it is mine once we list.
Nobody else in this business names a client. I name both, from the same transaction, in their own words. Read every one.
“When it was time to retire and sell my practice I chose Jonathan Ingalls to be my broker. He is a true professional and knows the business, he worked well with the buyer and myself. It was one of the best decisions I ever made.”
“Buying my first office while moving from Chicago to San Diego was a big step. You helped me navigate the practice search, financing, negotiations, and closing, and you were always available when I had questions.”
“Jonathan Ingalls handled the sales process of my dental office with a successful outcome which allowed me to continue to focus on providing excellent dentistry. I could not have accomplished the endless list of details without him.”
“Having Mr. Ingalls assist with the purchase of my practice made the entire process remarkably smooth. I honestly can’t imagine trying to navigate everything on my own that he handled for both the seller and me.”
Buyers see the shape of the practice: collections, chairs, payer mix, geography at the city level. Never the name, never the address, never a photo that gives it away.
Full details unlock only after a signed confidentiality agreement, and each NDA covers one practice, not a browsing pass to everything I represent.
No buyer walks through your door until they have cleared intake: identity, license, financing readiness, and your schedule. You host; they come as colleagues.
Financials live in a secure vault with per-buyer, revocable access. You see who has opened what, and access ends the moment it should.
You describe the practice, I listen, and you get the six answers above and a straight read on whether a January close is realistic for you. No visit, no paperwork.
A range and the reason it is wide. It tells you whether a sale makes sense and roughly where it lands.
The add-back schedule, the earnings restatement, the lender file, the documented story. Nothing is built and nothing is marketed until the agreement is signed.
Anonymized profile to vetted buyers. Lenders read the file before buyers do. Showings run on a standing slot you set, with you hosting.
Offers come to you with context, not pressure. Once signed: financing on day zero, a named close date, and a runbook that keeps every party moving until the wire lands.
“I work with DSOs and their offers as well. Twenty years at this, and only getting better at the most important decision of your career: who takes over the care of your dental family. Read my reviews, both sides. What can I say. Call me.”
Direct to the broker. No intake team, no call center. If it is after hours, book the ten-minute walk-through and I call you at the time you pick.
