Pros and Cons

Pros

  • A hundred-plus closings a year is deal flow a buyer can build a pipeline around
  • Sell-side-only means no buy-side conflict inside the same engagement
  • Prepared processes come with real financials rather than a broker's one-pager

Cons

  • Structured auctions favor buyers who move fast and bid clean, which pressures first-timers
  • Fees are unpublished, and seller economics shape which deals reach market
  • Its size range tops out well above most self-funded searches
