The Difference is Our Experience

Experience the Difference

The Green Sail Difference

Both buyers and sellers often ask “where do I start?” The GST team will always answer the phone to advise you! We will listen. We want to understand your unique goals and objectives, after all, everyone has different visions and needs. Furthermore, every dental practice is different and each dentist has different skill sets.

SELLERS

Whether you are ready to sell today or are just gathering information about a future sale, you’ve come to the right place. We have different levels of practice valuation services ranging from a free, do-it-yourself version, to a complete valuation ready to use as a beautiful marketing piece for your practice.

We also offer equipment-only valuations and our exclusive “Financial Appraisal” that is a lower cost way to determine your exact value for sale “consideration” or future sale planning.

Valuation Options

Comprehensive Valuation: Appropriate for practice sales. Fee is refunded at closing from sales commission.

Financial Valuation: Appropriate for accurate value for planning purposes such as bringing in an associate with a buy-in option, selling to someone who is already familiar with the practice, etc. This service is a reduced fee since all the narrative and photographs are not needed.

Value Estimator: This option is offered to determine an estimated value that is appropriate only for planning purposes. It should not be used to determine values for immediate practice transitions.

Equipment Only Valuation: If you just need to have your equipment appraised, we provide that service as well.

BUYERS

Perhaps you are wondering when you should start looking for a practice to purchase or when it makes sense apply for financing. We can help you whether you are ready to own now or just thinking about your options. The first thing you need to do is join our email notification list to keep up to date with practices available.

Members of our email notification list receive regular updates on practice listings, associateship opportunities, Hygienist and assistant positions, market news and special notifications and offers.

When you sign up let us know where you would like to locate and what size/type of practice is right for you. Green Sail Transitions keeps meticulous records of our buyers and their needs.

We can also help you with our exclusive “Check-List” and refer you to the right banks, attorneys, CPA’s and consultants.

The GST team is also ready to present to your study club or society on topics such as:

  • Preparing for a Transition and Market tends
  • The emotional challenges of retiring
  • Practice sale pitfalls
  • Maximizing your practice value
  • Equipment/Technology
  • Leases
  • Full, hands-on, practice value workshop where all attendees determine the value of their own practices!
