THE FOUNDER

Built from the Inside Out.

Shaun Rudgear has been a licensed real estate broker since 1991.
Before founding SMB, he co-founded, co-owned, and served as
practice administrator for three medical practices for more than 12
years — running the business operations, finances, and compliance
while his wife, the physician, ran the clinical side.

When it came time to sell, he hired what he believed was a specialist firm. What showed up was a residential real estate agent who had never negotiated a healthcare transaction. He built SMB to be the firm he needed and couldn’t find.

TESTIMONIALS

Trusted by doctors, valued by their transitions

"I interviewed three firms before hiring Shaun and his team. They were the only ones who told me upfront what my practice was actually worth — and the only ones willing to walk away if we couldn't agree on a realistic number. We closed 8% above their initial valuation."

— Dr. J. Mitchell
MD, Former Owner · Cardiology Practice, Southwest Region

THE VALUATION - FIRST STANDARD

We Only Work With Sellers We Can Win For.

Before SMB agrees to represent your practice, we require a paid valuation. Not as a formality — but as a necessary step. Our advisors perform a thorough assessment of your practice’s market value, then have an honest discussion about what the market will support and what you expect to receive.
It’s a standard most brokers would never impose on themselves because it means turning away business. For us, it’s the foundation of everything. It’s why the practices we bring to market are taken seriously by the most qualified buyers in the country.
