Pros and Cons
Pros
- Twenty-plus years and 400-plus closed transactions in the $1M to $25M revenue range, so it knows the lower-middle-market Southeast deal
- A large, genuinely useful free library of articles and videos on how the sell side prices, packages, and runs a process, which is buyer intelligence too
- A transparent Double Lehman fee with no big upfront retainer, so its incentives sit with closing
Cons
- Regional: it works the Carolinas and the Southeast, so a buyer outside that footprint uses it for its content more than its listings
- It represents sellers, not buyers, so on a live deal its duty is to the other side of the table
- Deal flow is limited to what it has listed at any moment, a fraction of a national marketplace's
