Why Most Owners Fail When Selling a Business or Real Estate

from Financial Foundations

Thinking about selling your business or the building it operates in, but not sure where to start? Dustin Taylor, Kyle Howell, and Alex Wolfe, CFP®, sit down with commercial real estate and business broker Mike Mauger to pull back the curtain on what really happens when you sell a business or the building it operates in. From surprising valuation pitfalls to the hidden levers that boost sale price, this episode cuts through the noise and shows owners what actually matters when it's time to exit. You'll hear: • The signals that tell you it's truly the right time to sell • Why clean, profitable financials matter far more than impressive revenue • The real difference between selling a business and selling the building • How sale multiples are determined—and why many owners misjudge their value • What to fix now if you plan to retire and sell in the next few years • The tax moves (1031s, DSTs, deferred sales trusts) that can reshape your future • Why having the right financial team can make or break your outcome Guest: Mike Mauger, Commercial Real Estate & Business Broker.
