Confidential, strategic representation for business owners and buyers in the Dallas–Fort Worth area and beyond.

What We Do

Expert Business Brokering

Whether you're ready to sell a business you've built from the ground up or looking to acquire an established operation, The Petersen Real Estate Group brings the same disciplined, relationship-driven approach we apply to every real estate transaction.

Business brokering requires discretion, precision, and deep market knowledge. We handle every aspect of the process — from confidential valuations and buyer qualification to negotiation and closing — so you can stay focused on running your business until the very end.

Our network of qualified buyers and sellers, combined with our real estate expertise, creates unique opportunities for deals that merge business transitions with real property — an area where few brokers can match our experience.

Common Questions

Business Brokering FAQ

How is my business kept confidential during the sale process?

We use a tiered disclosure process: we market your business with general industry descriptors (no names) until we qualify and screen buyers. Only after a buyer signs an NDA do we share specific details.

How is a business valued?

Business valuation typically uses a multiple of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization), adjusted for industry, growth trends, real estate, customer concentration, and other factors. We provide a detailed market analysis during our consultation.

Do you handle businesses that include real property?

Yes — and this is an area where we excel. Our combined real estate and business brokering expertise means we can handle the entire transaction, including the property component, without needing multiple brokers.

What size businesses do you work with?

We work with small to mid-market businesses ranging from $250K to $10M+ in value. We evaluate each opportunity individually — reach out and we'll let you know if it's a fit.
