The Three Capabilities Behind Our Trusted Reputation
When it comes to delivering an exceptional experience for our clients, outcomes aren’t determined by luck — they’re determined by the competitive advantages we’ve spent years developing.
Veterinary practice owners can look far and wide, yet they won’t find another advisor with these capabilities:
-
- Deep, Seasoned Team of Specialists – We hire the best of the best to ensure each step of the sales process has an expert behind the scenes supporting you.
- Superior Market Data – We accumulate market data daily through the numerous, concurrent sales processes we advise on. In fact, we not only have more detailed transaction data than any other veterinary practice broker, but we have more than 95% of the corporate buyers do too.
Experience the Difference of Scale and Insight – Hear from Practice Owners Who Chose Ackerman
- Comprehensive Buyer Intelligence – We have advised on practice sales involving every corporate group in veterinary medicine. This year alone, we will work directly with more buyers than most brokers have worked with during their entire existence.
These aren’t marketing claims. They’re indisputable advantages that consistently produce better results for our clients than are achievable by selling alone or with any of our competitors.

Our Deep, Seasoned Team of Experts
Behind every Ackerman Group practice sale is more than your dedicated advisor — it’s an entire team. Each client engagement is supported by multiple brokers, financial analysts, and due diligence specialists who work in sync, on your behalf, to efficiently manage the complex process from beginning to end with precision.
While smaller brokers are forced to serve with a “jack of all trades, master of none” mentality due to limited resources and experience, our team is built for scale. That means every practice owner we work with receives dedicated support, expert advice, timely communication, and the full horsepower of a practice brokerage operating at the profession’s highest standard.
“Being the biggest doesn’t mean less attention for our clients
— it means more care and more expertise.”
Why It Should Matter to YOU
- Selling a veterinary practice is like building a house – doing it well requires a diverse range of skills. You would never trust an electrician to install a roof or lay a tile floor. We have a large team of specialists so that every step of the sales process has an expert supporting you.
- Selling a veterinary practice today is very different than selling a veterinary practice back in 2010 or even 2020. Through the experience of working on dozens and dozens of successful transactions each year, our team members can provide advice based on how the market is functioning today, not how it functioned in the past.
“You wouldn’t trust the findings of a clinical trial involving only 3 cats.
— why would you trust the knowledge of a broker who has only sold 3 practices this year?”
Superior Market Data
Because we advise on more veterinary practice sales than any other broker, we see far more buyer offers, deal structures, and market shifts than smaller firms ever encounter. This constant deal flow gives us a real-time view of what buyers are actually paying, what they value, and how their appetites change week to week — not assumptions, not theory, and not last year’s intel.
Other brokers complete only a handful of deals a year, leaving them to operate with limited, outdated, or secondhand market knowledge. Many even attend our Quarterly Market Update webinars so they can keep up with what’s happening. When you work with Ackerman Group, you benefit from insight shaped by hundreds of real offers and thousands of datapoints, giving you a level of clarity and accuracy no one else can offer.
Why It Should Matter to YOU
-
Understanding today’s market is like checking the weather before a long trip — you want current conditions, not last week’s forecast. Because we see more live offers than anyone else, our guidance reflects what buyers are paying today, not old information that could steer you wrong.
-
Even small shifts in buyer behavior can change a practice’s value. Since we work on dozens of transactions every year, we see those shifts the moment they happen — meaning you get advice based on real-time reality, not assumptions from brokers who only see a few deals a year.
Comprehensive Buyer Intelligence
No one in the veterinary brokerage profession interacts with more buyers, more often, than Ackerman Group. Our size, transaction volume, and national reach give us unmatched visibility into active buyer strategies, valuation behavior, and deal-structure preferences — in real time.
Because we launch more processes than any other firm, we’re in continuous dialogue with every consolidator, private equity group, and investor-backed platform in the market. That means when we bring your practice to market, we already know who’s buying, who’s motivated, and which deal structures are winning.
“We don’t just understand how buyers bid — we understand how they operate.
That insight helps us prepare out clients for life ‘after the sale’ in a way no one else can.”
Why It Should Matter to YOU
- Knowing which buyers are active, motivated, and paying the strongest prices with the best terms today means your practice is positioned in front of the right groups, not wasted on buyers who aren’t a good fit for you or aren’t competitive with the top of the market.
- Knowing how specific buyers have been modifying offers to win deals allows us to negotiate on your behalf already knowing which terms can be improved and which cannot. This only comes from the tremendous access to offer data we accumulate each and every day.
Three Capabilities To Experience For Yourself
Other brokers may approach proficiency in one of these capabilities. Only Ackerman Group excels at all three — expertise at scale, real-time market insight, and broad buyer intelligence — to create an experience for practice owners built exclusively for corporate practice sales.
This is what allows us to deliver smarter strategy, smoother transactions, and superior outcomes for every client we represent.
