Frequently asked questions
Do you represent sellers?
No. Practice Directions represents buyers only — not sellers, not DSOs. That alignment is a core part of the model. Owners selling on their own can use the platform’s listing tools and educational estimator, but the advisory relationship is with the buyer.
Do I have to use Full Buyer Representation, or can I start smaller?
Many buyers start with a Deep Dive Analysis on a single practice. It is a self-contained engagement and a low-friction way to get an independent read before making an offer. If it makes sense to continue, the Deep Dive becomes the foundation for Full Buyer Representation.
Do you work with buyers outside Ohio?
Yes. Practice Directions works with buyers evaluating dental practices in any state. Corey is based in Ohio, but the analysis, LOI thinking, due diligence coordination, and transition planning don’t depend on geography. If you are looking at a practice anywhere in the country, get in touch.
How is this different from working with a traditional broker?
Traditional dental brokerages typically represent the seller, the buyer, or both — and earn a commission when the deal closes. Practice Directions only works for the buyer, with transparent service tiers and no dual representation.
Is the Value Estimator a real valuation?
No. The Value Estimator is an educational tool that produces an approximate range based on your inputs and market-style benchmarks. It is useful for framing pricing conversations, but it is not a formal CVA-level valuation or an appraisal.
