We identify practices for sale
When you first become a Countrywide client, we ask you to fill out an information profile detailing your professional credentials and the practice criteria needed to help you find the right pratice opportunity. This information helps us introduce you to selling dentists whose practices are tailored to your needs.

All practices listed with Countrywide are fully appraised, so you know what a practice is worth before you look at it. Our appraisal process focuses on the location and condition of each practice as well as the selling doctor's financial results, fee structure and patient profile. The appraisal is used to set a purchase price that is competitive in today's market.

We arrange for you to meet
the selling doctor
We know that your time is valuable and we want to make the best use of it. Therefore, we introduce you only to qualified sellers who are genuinely interested in selling their practices and offering a financially attractive opportunity.

We take pride in our ability to match the right buyer with the right seller. With two locations to serve our clients, Countrywide has access to a large number of practice opportunities. Our listings are exclusives, which means that no other broker has the same practices available for sale.

Once you register with Countrywide to buy a practice, your name and important information is entered into our strictly confidential database. When an opportunity arises which meets your criteria, we will send you a written practice description which thoroughly details its features.

Then we'll contact you to discuss the listing in greater detail and if you're interested in the practice, a meeting is arranged with the selling doctor. Because our screening process is so thorough you're likely to visit only a few practices before the right match is found.
