Less Transactions/Better Service
When we began our Brokerage Firm, we decided we would rather have less closings each year and provide a greater deal of emphasis on creating quality deals that both accomplish the goals of Radio Station Sellers but also put Buyers in the position of achieving success. By doing this, we have been able to increase the transaction prices by 25-35%. How is this a good thing for the Buyer? We lay out the foundation to help the Buyer achieve success. Instead of spending 48-60 months trying to "find their way", we help them get on their feet in 12-24 months.
When Is The Best Time To Buy?
While many Brokerage Firms would disagree, unlike The Housing Market, it's always a great time to buy or sell a radio property. Why? The Sales Process of an AM or FM Radio Station does not follow typical market trends. Of course, obtaining financing, etc may be easier in a robust economy, but some of the most successful transactions of all time have taken place in a down economy.
