## At a Glance

Worth reading for its buyer closing-cost page whatever your geography, and the Mountain West seat on this shelf.

- Kind: One firm, one bench of brokers, one process.
- Footprint: Names Colorado. It works beyond the states it names, so one it does not name is worth asking about rather than ruling out.
- Sells: Colorado businesses since 1982 across automotive, construction, distribution, energy, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, technology and defense, with over 1,000 transactions completed. It declines to name a size band at all, and the line introducing that counter says thousands.
  - Publishes no size band anywhere.
- Seller Fee: Publishes nothing. Neither the rate nor the structure appears on its own site.
- Buyer Fee: Says nothing about a buyer fee. Its buyer-facing pages say nothing either way about what a buyer pays.
- Works For: Buyer list only. Invites buyers onto a list to see or be alerted to its own listings. That is access, not advocacy: the firm is still paid by the seller.
- Before It Shows You Anything: Wants a buyer profile alongside the NDA. A buyer profile or questionnaire beyond the NDA: who you are, what you are looking for, and usually your timeline and experience.
  - A buyer questionnaire alongside the confidentiality agreement, covering what a buyer is looking for and what they have available to put into a deal.

## What It Costs

No fee is published anywhere on its own site. The seller page advertises the question and answers only that 'Our initial consultations are complementary, confidential and no obligation.' For buyers it does state who pays: 'In most transactions, the seller pays the broker's commission or success fee as part of the sale.'

## Best For

Colorado buyers, and any first-time buyer who wants a plain list of what closing actually costs them

## Pros and Cons

- Pro: Publishes a buyer closing-cost breakdown, including the sentence saying the seller pays the broker
- Pro: Forty-four years in one market with more than a thousand closed transactions by its own count
- Pro: Covers the Mountain West, which nothing else on this shelf reaches
- Pro: Names its own former identity, so the rebrand is verifiable from its pages rather than inferred
- Con: No fee published at all, on a seller page that markets the cost question without answering it
- Con: No deal size band anywhere
- Con: Claims work in over fifteen states and names none of them, so only Colorado can be recorded

## What Searchers Say

Founding year, closed count, footprint claim and the buyer-cost page read from its own site. The former domain fbb.com redirects here, and page titles still carry the FBB Group name.
