FAQs

The following questions are among the most commonly asked by those who want to sell or buy a dental practice in Southern California. If you have any questions not addressed here, please feel free to contact California Practice Sales at any time, and we will respond to your inquiry as soon as possible.

The first step is to fill out the Confidential Seller Interview Form on this website. The data will be forwarded to John Knipf, President of California Practice Sales, who will review the information and make a confidential phone call to request any additional details needed to develop a pricing model.

You can also call him directly at 866-377-0446. He would be pleased to answer any questions you might have about how CPS can help you sell your dental practice in Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, or any other location in Southern California.

Your agent or broker will work with your tax and legal representatives or can provide names of professionals in each area who are experienced with the transaction process. You can talk to your personal agent or broker about the current costs for each of these services.

There is no cost to develop a pricing model.

You will be asked to provide current financial information and participate in a short telephone interview to share basic details about your dental practice. Full appraisals are available upon request for estate planning or other specific needs, but are not required in order to provide you with a practice sale value.

If you think you might like to sell your dental practice in Southern California, please contact California Practice Sales today for your complimentary pricing model.

If you find the pricing model acceptable once the analysis is complete, Mr. Knipf will arrange a time to meet with you to review and videotape your dental practice, as well as to go over the listing agreement. In addition, Mr. Knipf will answer any questions you might have about our strategy to sell your dental practice in Southern California.

Once you have signed an agreement, our brokers and agents will personally visit your office so that we can be better equipped to answer questions from potential buyers. At this point, your dental practice will be placed on the market.

At California Practice Sales, we provide full exposure for your dental practice through our website, advertisements in publications such as Dental Economics, the CDA Journal, Impressions Magazine, and seven pages in Dental Trader.

CPS employs a full-time Transition Coordinator who assists in moving transactions to completion, from acceptance of the offer until you are funded. From start to finish, every step is monitored and guided. This allows you to focus on practicing dentistry rather than managing every aspect of your sale.

Unlike some dental brokerage firms where one individual is responsible for finding a buyer, we currently have three brokers and agents who maintain working relationships with over 18,000 potential purchasers interested in buying a dental practice in Southern California. As each agent and broker operates independently, you benefit from three “independent brokerages” competing to find you a purchaser.

We also maintain strong relationships with every major banking and financial institution involved in financing dental practice acquisitions. These direct relationships with decision-makers allow us the broadest access to funding methods for your sale. We have no financial ties to any of our lenders—the only thing we receive from them is excellent service.

This is a very active market, and our goal is to provide you with qualified individuals to interview. Each office is unique in its composition, but we believe that our sales methods are the best available to bring the most qualified candidates to your dental practice in the shortest possible time. Once you have selected your buyer, the entire process typically takes 45 to 60 days to complete.

We are paid through the proceeds of the loan or other financing when the dental practice actually sells. All terms are outlined in the Authorization and Right to Sell Agreement.

Our goal is to educate potential buyers on the proper process for purchasing a dental practice. When you first contact California Practice Sales, you will be paired with a trained and licensed real estate agent or broker who will guide you through a brief telephone interview.

This interview is designed not only to obtain your basic contact information, but also to determine your specific wants and needs. This agent or broker will be your personal contact at CPS.

You will be asked to sign a confidentiality form, as we will be sharing privileged information about our listings with you.

If you are interested in buying a dental practice in Los Angeles, Orange County, or anywhere else in Southern California, we would be pleased to keep you informed of your options on an ongoing basis. There is no cost or obligation to be added to our list or to stay updated on available practices.

While it is not absolutely necessary, we do encourage you to visit your agent or broker at our Orange County office. The purpose of the visit is to develop the personal relationship aspect of the process. It also allows the agent or broker to spend one-on-one time with you to discuss what to look for in a dental practice, explain how CPS develops and presents information to buyers, and answer any questions you may have.

If you are considering buying a dental practice in Southern California, there is absolutely no cost or obligation to meet with us, call us with questions, or engage our services as your agent or broker in these transactions.

We understand that some clients may be unable to meet with us in person due to scheduling or distance. We are as close as your computer or phone, always available to answer your questions and assist you in your search.
