Dear Kevin,
Thank you for making my practice sale and transition go so smoothly. Your advice and professionalism were clear and very much appreciated. From practice valuation, through negotiations, earnest money agreement, closing documents, employment agreement and financing, your legal help has been right on. I have already referred some of my friends to you and will continue to. You and your team make it as stress free as possible. Thanks again for a job well done!

Dear Kevin, Ryan and Jan,
I want to thank you once again for helping me with the sale of my practice. As you know, a dentist’s life’s work is personified in his practice. It’s also a life change, emotionally as well as the business aspect. When the time came for me to sell the practice, the how, what and where were handled by you with skill, competence and knowledge. This made the transition go extremely successfully. Thank you.

Dear Jan, Ryan and Kevin:
Many thanks for your assistance in the sale of my practice! When I contemplated selling my practice, I considered others, but I know I made the very best choice with Shea Practice Transitions. I can see why you have built such an outstanding reputation. As you know, the sale of a practice can be very difficult for a dentist. You made the process as easy as it could be under somewhat bittersweet circumstances. Best of all, although I am leaving behind some friendships, I feel that I have made new friends in all of you!

Dear Kevin, Ryan and Jan,
I want to personally thank you for the outstanding job you all did on the sale of my dental practice. The thoroughness of Shea Practice Transitions through the whole process from appraisal, finding a buyer, contracts and transition details was first class all the way. Best of all, the final price was over the appraised price!

Working with Shea Practice Transitions gave me peace of mind. Thank you.

Dear Kevin, Jan and Ryan:
A million thank you’s for a job well done in the sale of my practice. You skillfully matched me with a dentist who almost universally shared my practice philosophy. It gives me great comfort in knowing that my patients will be in capable hands. As I have told you many times, I’m very glad I hired you and I would recommend you highly to my colleagues. Thanks once again.

Dear Kevin, Ryan and Jan:
I wanted to write you a short note of thanks for helping me in my practice transition. The way you handled the transaction and all the details gave me a great deal of comfort and confidence that things were being done correctly.

I could not be happier with the doctor you found to continue the treatment of my patients. I have peace of mind in knowing that they will be in good hands. You certainly earned your exemplary reputation for being the best in the business!

Dear Kevin:
We would like to personally thank you for your expertise and diligence in putting together our associate buy-in. We really appreciate the fact that you could orchestrate all aspects of the associate buy-in from the appraisal to the associate agreement to the tax implications to the buy-in documents. We know this would not have happened without your help. Thanks again!

Dear Kevin,
I wanted to thank you for your expert assistance in facilitating our practice buy-out. We realize that we could have never consummated our deal without your help. Thanks.

Shea Practice Transitions recently sold my practice for me and I want to let anyone know how pleasant an experience it was. All three people I dealt with, Kevin, Ryan and Jan, were just so helpful and professional. I would recommend Shea Practice Transitions to anyone. You can have every confidence in them.

Barry H. Nelson, D.D.S.

Dear Kevin:
Once again, I wish to thank you very much for the outstanding job in the sale of my practice. I was told by some of my colleagues about your great reputation and you did not disappoint me. My practice transition was rather complicated, however you, Jan and Ryan handled all the details from start to finish in a patient and professional manner.

What was most pleasing to me was the fact that, because of your legal and business background, you were able to handle some parts of the transaction that other brokers would be simply incapable of facilitating. My friends were right when they said that “you were the best in the business”. Once again to you, Jan and Ryan, a big thank you!

Dennis E. Simpson, D.D.S.
River Falls, WI

After about four years of marketing my practice myself, and with two brokers, all to no avail, I called Kevin Shea. Shea Practice Transitions produced a buyer that turned out to be a perfect fit. Kevin and his staff, Ryan and Jan, followed through to a successful transition and sale of my practice. The Shea Practice Transitions staff proved to be knowledgeable, prompt, responsive and very pleasant to work with.

Kevin Shea did something that other brokers were unable to do. Kevin has the background, experience and expertise that no one else has. I strongly recommend Shea Practice Transitions as a business consultant or transition broker to my colleagues.

Kevin & Ryan,
“…we’re very happy with how everything went with our practice sale. You earned every cent of your commission…it was just a great experience…you did a fantastic job!”

Chris & Amy Browning
Minneapolis, MN

Dear Kevin,
Thank you so much for helping me with my transition. We talked about a time line, an appraised price for my practice, and my desire for a quality buyer who would care for my patients in a professional manner. All these goals were met, and all was accomplished with minimal stress for me and every step was conducted in a professional manner.

A bonus was to find that all was accomplished without incurring additional fees since you and Ryan are both attorneys. Thank you!

William Zimbinski, D.D.S.
Duluth, MN

Dear Kevin, Ryan and Jan:
Our appreciation is ten-fold!!! We can’t begin to thank you enough for all the time and effort taken in making this transition to retirement happen in our lives. You were instrumental and successful in finding a temporary dentist to help out and keep the business up and running – a relief to be sure. You were that support and catalyst that achieved an end – and for that we are so very grateful.

Dr. Ken Dayton
St. Paul, MN

Dear Kevin,
A note of thanks - the sale of our dental practice was the smoothest transaction we have ever experienced. From your detailed appraisal to the final closing, the whole process was done quickly and very professional. At first we were somewhat apprehensive with the market value since it was a buyer’s market and poor economy. You obviously knew better than we did. The whole transaction was done with professionalism and in a friendly way. Thank you so much.

Roger & Jane Johnson
Albert Lea, MN

Dear Kevin,
Thanks a million for helping us out with the sale of our practice. We were very pleased with everything you did for us – professionally appraising the practice, finding us a qualified buyer, helping with the financing, drafting all the contracts, and conducting a thorough transition meeting with all the details. Your professionalism, knowledge and sense of humor were greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

Drs. Mike & Sarah Gallagher
Eden Prairie, MN

Dear Kevin, Ryan & Jan,
Thank you, thank you, thank you for a job WELL DONE! This entire process was a pleasure for us…you made it appear effortless. You’ve earned your reputation for competence and integrity, and it showed in the volume and quality of prospects who visited our practice. Thank you Jan, Ryan and Kevin for the overall expertise!

David E. Schulte, D.D.S.

Dear Kevin:
I wanted to thank you for all the help you’ve given me over the years. I have always relied upon you to give me counsel that is knowledgeable, insightful and trustworthy. I believe that part of my success is attributable to surrounding myself with good people who do their jobs exceptionally well, and you are certainly at the top of that list.

Dr. Donald A. Johnson
Richfield, MN

Kevin conducted a thorough appraisal of my practice…Kevin located a very qualified buyer, negotiated the sale on my behalf, and drafted all the necessary documents to complete the sale. Kevin, Ryan and Jan were very professional and I was extremely pleased with the expert manner in which my practice sale was handled. Without hesitation, I would recommend Kevin Shea to my colleagues.

Kenneth J. Buechele, D.D.S.
Minneapolis, MN

Thank you so much for your invaluable help in the sale of my dental practice. As you know, the sale of my practice involved over 35 years of my life’s work, and thus its sale had the potential to cause some anxiety. With your assistance, my anxieties were minimized. You certainly earned every penny of your commission. I know I couldn’t have sold my practice without your help, and if you ever need any recommendations, I would gladly provide them for you.

Robert T. Nelson, D.D.S.

We have worked with Kevin for over 10 years. Before that, we worked with some other “experts” whom made it virtually impossible for us to get anything accomplished. However after we started working with Kevin, everything became much easier. Kevin is great to work with; he has helped us with several transactions, including two associate buy-ins, practice appraisals, associate searches, buy-outs and everything in between. When it comes to practice transitions, Shea Practice Transitions’ expertise, knowledge and personal service are unsurpassed. In our opinion, every dentist should use Shea Practice Transitions for their practice transition.

James Hunder, D.D.S. and Greg Liska, D.D.S.
Plymouth, MN

During my years of practice, I demanded the highest standards and performance from myself and my staff; in the sale of my practice, Shea Practice Transitions met or exceeded these high standards. The services provided were very comprehensive, including the appraisal, marketing, contract drafting, legal issues, negotiation, financing, closing and transition. I would recommend Kevin wholeheartedly to my friends and colleagues.

Dr. David Lang
Bloomington, MN

I received a timely suggestion from a retired dental friend of mine. His advice was to contact Kevin Shea. My friend’s opinion proved to be extremely valuable. After forty plus years of practice, my patients had become like my family and Kevin was careful to match my personality and office with the proper person. My confidentiality was respected and Kevin’s professional yet amiable demeanor helped greatly in our proceedings. I can truly say it was a real pleasure to work with Shea Practice Transitions.

David E. Weiss, D.D.S.

Dear Kevin,
As always, it has been a pleasure working with you during the sale and transition of my dental practice. I know how hard it is to orchestrate an event of this magnitude such as the sale of a private dentist’s personal dental practice. You have provided the expertise and direction needed for such an important event in one’s life. It is no easy task coordinating all the “experts” we have to deal with such as accountants and lawyers, but you have added the all important buffer to bring everyone together on the same page and still come out liking each other. Likewise, the details needed in transactions like this are immense. Your many years of experience speak for themselves, as you have helped all of us through many details otherwise unknown to us for the purpose of making a successful sale. Thank you again!
