Fee themes (educational, not a quote)
Compensation is often a success fee tied to closing, sometimes with a retainer or hybrid. Percentages and minimums vary by deal size and market. Ask for a written schedule, what expenses you pay, and what happens if you find a buyer yourself during an exclusive period. We publish no invented rates here.
Industry specialization
Some brokers focus on franchise resale, hospitality, or restaurants. Specialization can help with process norms and buyer pools; verify experience yourself. Overview: franchise, hospitality & restaurant themes.
