Testimonials

I selected Kurt Skarin as the person to help me sell my dental practice, because he was experienced, bright and appeared to care more about me getting what my practice was worth than he was about his commission or pleasing the loan officers at various banks.  He clearly was working in my best interest, and he came to the job with a wealth of experience, excellent judgment, and impeccable honesty.  His experience as both a broker and a lawyer were strong assets, as well.  Selling a practice is a complicated and difficult process, both emotionally and practically.  I found him to be supportive, easy to contact and possessing the information that was needed in the various situations that came up.  In short, I recommend Kurt with no hesitancy for anyone who is exploring the idea of selling or buying a dental practice. - Richard Willis, D.D.S.

"I wanted to thank you for doing such an amazing job of helping me to sell my practice. Mine was a situation that was far more complicated than most. You were amazingly straightforward and honest, and also were able to help me a lot of little details without getting my attorney overly involved. You never pressured me or exaggerated about what I could and should expect. I was especially impressed with your ability to deal calmly yet professionally with any and all complications that occured which were either of my own doing or of the buyer's. You were always able to come up with a solution that satisfied both the buyer and myself, and considering the scope of our deal, that says quite a bit. While it is true that I wish I had listened to many of your recommendations earlier on, you never made me feel as if I had made a mistake or foolish decision. I appreciate your patience and professionalism throughout this deal and the others you have helped me with in the past." - Craig D. Gordon

“I contacted several agents prior to listing my 33 year old dental practice with Kurt Skarin. The reason I selected him was that I was impressed with Mr. Skarin’s honesty and professionalism. I was amazed that my practice sold within one week of its listing. I appreciated Mr. Skarin’s ability to not only follow through on what he promised, but also the fact that he was always available when I had the need to communicate with him. All aspects of the sale were expertly handled by Mr. Skarin.” – David Meirovitz, D.D.S.

“I met Kurt Skarin about 10 years ago when he appraised my dental practice for financial reasons. I was impressed by his rapid assessment of my situation as well as his highly professional and discreet attitude. I did not forget this impression when it came time for me to retire and sell my practice. Kurt was true to form when he immediately and efficiently organized information to present my practice for sale. He located a buyer within two weeks and the sale was closed two months later. Throughout the process, he was organized and knowledgeable. His legal expertise and many years of experience in this field made him an invaluable resource in answering my frequent and varied questions.

Selling one’s practice after thirty years is not any easy proposition, practically or emotionally. Kurt was there with the information, direction and answers. He is competent, “common sense” professional and I highly recommend him if you are considering selling your practice or have financial issues affecting your practice” – John Burk, D.M.D.

“I want to thank you for the very excellent services you provided me in connection with the sale of my dental practice. I had interviewed a few of the practice sale companies and what made me choose you included several things: the fact that you are an attorney was a definite plus; you always kept your appointments; you did not use your cell phone when you met with me; and you followed through with every aspect of the transaction. Your knowledge and help towards the office lease was invaluable as was all of the legal help you gave us.

Thanks for all of your help. I had sold a previous dental practice in Oxnard and had a very bad experience with that broker. It was wonderful working with you. I not only recommend you, but should I decide to buy or sell another practice, I will definitely be calling you.” – Flora Stay, D.D.S.

“As a first time practice buyer, I was anticipating a very difficult and frustrating experience. However, thanks to you, I was pleasantly surprised. Your consistent professionalism and extensive knowledge helped me tremendously. When I compare my experience to that of my colleagues, I feel very fortunate. I would definitely keep you in mind for all of my practice broker needs.” – Peter Suh, D.D.S.

“Lee Skarin and Associates made my practice purchase transaction very easy. Kurt was always available and his knowledge and expertise were outstanding. I highly recommend Lee Skarin and Associates.” – Todd Ehrler, D.D.S.
