Listen as Sean shares why he didn't use a business broker when he sold his company, how he came up with the value of his portfolio, and the responses he got when he put the price out to market. He discusses taking the cash offer he received even though it was significantly less because he didn't want to be tied to the new owner for 3 to 5 years with a seller-financed offer.
Brad, Phil, and Sean discuss clawback provisions and who has the leverage with them. Sean speaks about how the operational handoff went after the sale and what he did with the funds. Sean says to remember that once you sell your portfolio, you should expect a certain level of involvement for 6 to 12 months, even if you sell for cash.
