Over 18 years ago, Dr. Gary Ackerman noticed an obvious knowledge gap among his fellow veterinarians: Many did not know when to sell their practices, how to negotiate a good deal, or how to effectively plan for retirement. His colleagues were not taking full advantage of market pricing, transition planning, or retirement preparation – and they had no clue where to start.

As a veterinarian, former multiple-practice owner, licensed commercial real estate agent, and investment advisor, Dr. Ackerman’s experience was (and continues to be) uniquely positioned to help veterinarians sell their practices. Consequently, he developed a specialized and educational approach to veterinary practice sales to ensure practice owners secure the terms they want, and ultimately realize their dreams of retirement. Dr. Ackerman’s consistent success with ‘clients’ led to team expansion and the official formation of Ackerman Group.

Fast forward to today: Ackerman Group has guided more than 200 practice owners in successfully transitioning their businesses. Guided by Dr. Ackerman’s commitment and holistic approach, Ackerman Group focuses on veterinary practice sales, specifically in the corporate market, to the benefit of clients and their legacies.

Our purpose and passion are the same: to help veterinary practice owners, like you, navigate the complexities of selling your practice so you can secure your personal and financial legacies with confidence.

Whatever your goals may be, our motto remains “ Best Price. Best Terms. Best Fit.”, where we strive to help you shape the future you want for yourself and for your practice.
