Understandably, many dealers — even those who don’t expect it — find that passing on their dealership to a new owner can be an unexpectedly emotional process. For many dealers, their dealerships are reflections of themselves. The buy-sell process shouldn’t be a faceless transaction. It should be a personal, positive experience for everyone — including you as the seller, and that’s a commitment our DSMA team takes to heart. 5. Engaged throughout the process. From marketing specialization and financial expertise to OEM approvals and more, selling a dealership can be a complex process. Many buy-sell brokers offer piecemeal capabilities, outsourcing the rest to third-party players. As a dealer, this approach can make the process needlessly complicated. To avoid this, DSMA combines end-to-end capabilities, so clients have a single point of contact throughout the entire process. As a dealer, you deserve to know your dealership’s status throughout every step of the buy-sell process. For this reason, open, engaged and continuous communication is standard practice for DSMA. From the initial cup of coffee to the closing table, DSMA is with you every step of the journey. A Bright Future for You and Your Dealership The decision to sell your dealership is a major one and we at DSMA want to help you do it with confidence.
