Greg and I stayed in touch for two years, where he provided market updates on practice sales. I was undecided about selling and retiring, and Greg was always patient, never applying pressure. Our occasional calls were always valuable due to his industry knowledge. While accountants possess valuation skills, market conditions vary; this is where Greg’s expertise proved invaluable, securing a sale price well above my initial expectations. Although fees can seem high, they shouldn't dictate the choice to use an expert. As non-marketers, we often need to rely on specialists like Greg. I strongly suggest speaking with him if you are considering a future sale. - G.S
