Should You Wait for the Market to 'Normalize' Before Selling Your Practice? Brannon Moncrief Says That's the Wrong Question - Brannon Moncrief Ep 580
Episode 580
Friday, 21 August, 2026
Brannon Moncrief has spent 15 years as a sell-side broker with McLerran & Associates, working exclusively on behalf of practice sellers. He and David unpack how the DSO gold rush of 2018–2023 cooled as interest rates rose, why timing a sale five years out changes everything, and why profitability — not revenue — is what actually drives valuation. Brannon breaks down where the private buyer market pulls back and the DSO market kicks in, the real risks of "sunsetting" a practice unintentionally, and why staff should typically be told about a sale only two weeks before closing. He also shares a striking story about what happens emotionally when a seller realizes, often for the first time, that they no longer control the business they built. P.S.
