Our veterinarian clients are our raving fans. We asked them why they selected Ackerman Group, and here’s what they said:
“I only wanted to work with the best”
I started by asking around, and Ackerman’s name kept coming up. They don’t have clients; they have raving fans. They are the largest and have closed more deals than anyone else. My vets and I are the best in what we do. Why not want the same for my practice sale. They simply are the best.
“I wanted to get multiple offers”
The more offers you get, the higher the price and the better the terms you get for your practice. When we started with Ackerman, they presented our practice to over 30 different buyers. We got hits from eight or nine of them. I never could have done all that work myself.
“I didn’t want to be taken advantage of”
Without a broker, you’re at the buyer’s mercy — they’re professional salespeople. I’m just a veterinarian. I knew that getting one more multiple would add hundreds of thousands of dollars in value, but who am I to say if my practice was worth that extra bit? With Ackerman Group, I knew I’d get what was fair.
“I wanted to talk to references”
They handed us a list of over 30 references to call, not just two or three like the other brokers we called. I talked to 10 different clinics that had used Ackerman. Every single one had only good things to say about their people and the experience working with them.

It’s that combination that is critical for every practice owner to find and that Ackerman Group routinely delivers to its clients.
