Marketed with anonymous descriptors. Your identity is shared only with serious, qualified buyers.
We've sat in the seller's chair.
We're not just brokers. We're former business owners, operators and entrepreneurs who have built, scaled and sold companies ourselves. That firsthand experience shapes everything we do, from how we value your business to how we negotiate the deal and protect your legacy.
Unlike traditional brokerage firms, we take a hands-on, transparent approach. No hidden fees. No generic templates. Just proven strategies, honest guidance and a relentless focus on maximizing your exit.
Before advising sellers, David Marder was one. He founded Level Realty in 2020, grew it past $1 billion in cumulative sales in four years, then sold his stake to his partner.

How a confidential sale works.
A proven, seller-friendly process. Every step adds to your deal file, and nothing about your business leaves it without your say.
- 1
Valuation and confidential consultation
A no-cost, no-obligation conversation about your business and its key financials. We sign a non-disclosure agreement with you, then give you a realistic estimate of market value and the kinds of offers to expect.
- 2
Engagement and broker agreement
If we both want to move forward, you receive our broker agreement. It's clear, fair and built around your success, and we encourage your attorney to review it.
- 3
Packaging and marketing your business
We prepare a high-quality offering memorandum, then reach serious buyers through our database of qualified buyers, online and direct mail channels, and a targeted search for strategic acquirers.
- 4
Review and accept an offer
We break down every offer by price, deal structure and buyer qualifications. When you choose one, the buyer submits a letter of intent, and we advise you on how to proceed, counter or negotiate.
- 5
Due diligence
The buyer verifies your financials and operations. We organize and deliver documents securely and efficiently, keeping disruption to your day-to-day business to a minimum.
- 6
Closing the deal
We work closely with you and your attorney on the purchase agreement and closing documents, so you receive your full payment and everything is properly executed.
You don't pay us a dime until we close the deal.
No upfront fees. No retainers. Our agreement is designed to be seller-friendly, and you're welcome to have your attorney review every line of it.
If you're thinking about selling, whether it's this year or further down the road, let's talk. Our consultations are always confidential and commitment-free.
