Question 18

Traditional Business Brokers are promising me the world.

Accepted Answer

One of the biggest myths agents push is that buyers sit around waiting for them to share listings. If you were buying, would you twiddle your thumbs for an agent’s call, or would you be scouring sites like Seekbusiness or Commercial Real Estate yourself? Buyers aren’t passive — they’re out there hunting for deals on their own. With one of our affordable packages, we’ll showcase your business or property on top Australian platforms like SeekBusiness.com.au, Any Business, BusinessforSale.com.au, and CommercialRealEstate.com.au, keeping it listed on most of these sites until it sells. At Agent Free Business, we have a buyer matching system—buyers sign up with their details and what they’re after, and when a matching property or business pops up, they get an email. As a seller, you’ll also know if there’s a buyer match for your listing.

Brokers are telling me that they will sell my Business in a specific time frame.

Accepted Answer

Unless the Broker has a buyer ready and waiting for a business just like yours, in that price range or they plan on buying it themselves they cannot guarantee the business will be sold within any specified time frame.
