What People Say About Us
I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the exceptional service provided by Dev in the sale of my dental practice. From our first meeting to the final closing, he demonstrated unparalleled professionalism, expertise, and dedication. Dev understood the unique needs and differentiators of my practice and guided me through every step of the process with clarity and confidence.
What impressed me most was his ability to find the right buyer who shared my vision, ensuring that my patients and staff would be in good hands. His attention to detail, market knowledge, and negotiation skills were invaluable, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free.
If you're considering selling your practice, I highly recommend Dev. He truly exceeded my expectations and made what could have been a daunting process into a positive and rewarding experience.

Selling your business can be extremely stressful. After dealing with two other brokerages, I was recommended to contact Greg Moore at MBC Brokerage. Best decision I ever made! Greg and the team at MBC had all the characteristics of what is important and essential to a busy professional trying to balance work as a vet and an employer and at the same time sell a business that had value, not only monetary, but as my personal accomplishment.
Greg was exceptional. He was respectful, very knowledgeable, consistently attentive, accurate in his appraisal and met all deadlines in the selling process. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have had Greg on my side. I would recommend MBC Brokerage without hesitation.
A huge and very sincere thank you to Greg and MBC Brokerage.

Dear David Rourke,
After thirty-five years in practice, I embarked on the daunting task of selling my office. I was at a loss as to how to proceed. I talked to several colleagues and brokers and felt totally overwhelmed. I started the process with one broker and was very disheartened. Then, I found David Rourke. What a stroke of luck! I would recommend him 100%. He provided excellent direction, unending support, and competent advice. The process was painless and, in the end, we found the perfect person to take over the office. The final purchase price was 50% higher than the first broker’s price. David was not located in my province so he was able to draw from a national base of buyers which allowed me to find the perfect purchaser.
If you would like to discuss me experience further, write me! Best advice I can give: hire David!!!

Dear Irv,
When I decided it was time to retire, there were numerous things to consider. How do I proceed? Should I consider trying to sell it myself or leave this to the professionals? I already had my hands full running a successful practice with little time to spare to deal with the daunting task of selling the practice myself. With his extensive background in banking and finance and an excellent track record in helping other doctors sell their practices, my wife and I are glad we chose Irv Handler to guide us through this lengthy process.
He properly and accurately appraised my practice value in this current market, ran open houses, found multiple qualified buyers, and assisted in dealing with landlords, lawyers, and accountants. Optometry is alive and well. In my case, Irv sold my practice for an amount higher than the asking price, making retirement that much sweeter.

Hi Tom and David:
We recently sold our practice with the assistance of MCB Brokerage and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. Tom Schramm and his son David bring a professional mix of skills to the table. Tom has years of experience in the industry as well as numerous contacts in the finance sector that are extremely helpful. David brings an incredible amount of energy and enthusiasm and his exceptional interpersonal skills builds confidence and trust in all of his client relationships. David is also an excellent facilitator which allows him to bring the buyer and seller together to negotiate the finer details of the offer. We were extremely pleased with the level of service and professionalism we had in all of our dealings with Tom and David and as a result we would highly recommend using MCB Brokerage.

“Hello Jon,
Our transition is going smoothly, and I definitely appreciate all the help & support you provided. Many thanks to you and your MBC team. Any time you’re in the area, stop by and say hello!”
“Irv,
After 55 years of practice and still wanting to continue doing what I love doing, the reality of age and a shortening future makes one ponder the next phase in professional life. The best of all scenarios would be to sell the practice to a younger optometrist wishing to sustain the legacy of what has become a well-regarded practice and for me to continue as an associate to see my patients.
You made this happen.”
“Thanks, Jon, for all you have done so far.
I was apprehensive of the whole process prior to your first visit, but that couple of hours gave me confidence that we were in the right hands no matter how things progressed. Having a history of knowing your dad was a plus to get started, but your explanation of the process we needed to follow helped ease my concerns.
I was a bit frustrated when it looked like you were being left out of the loop in the middle of the transactions, so was glad when Heather started sending information to you. It ended up being the right move as the advice you gave on a couple of occasions when my initial reactions to some of the demands by the girl’s lawyers were not as calm and reasoned as they should have been.
Today we have arrived at the place I had envisioned about 7 or 8 years ago, but the road to get here was considerably more winding and not nearly so well paved as I had envisioned.
Once again, thanks for all your help.”
“Hi Tom, I think we met when you were selling a Burlington practice....I really liked the way you were so honest with all your answers and way you were so straight forward. I guess that’s what most sales representatives forget to do. I trust you and I would love to buy one from you.”
“Working with Jon to sell my veterinary practice has been nothing short of a great experience. Jon is very attentive and patient, and helped me understand every part of the process, from preparation, to marketing, through to post-purchase details. Most importantly, he is very in tune with the veterinary world, and found for me the best purchaser possible for my practice. I highly recommend Jon for professional and exceptional service.”
“I was fully confident with Tom Schramm at my side as I sold my practice and transitioned. Tom was always available and provided sound advice and guidance throughout the process—from appraisal to negotiating the sale. I strongly recommend Tom to anyone considering a practice sale. The market is complicated and there are many things to consider; managing the sale of what may be your most important asset requires this kind of expertise.”
“I met Jon almost two years ago during the time I started pondering the idea of practice ownership. I have since purchased two veterinary practices through Jon and there has been no regrets working with him. He is honest, thorough and quite professional. I however cannot leave out his unique sense of humor which is why I think he and I work so well together. I have by no means limited the number of practices I will own but I do know that I have no hesitation doing more deals with Jon.
I highly recommend him and if he treats you as well as he treats me, then you are in good hands.”
“I was extremely pleased with the assistance you provided during the sale of my practice. I was one of the first from my graduating class to sell and have been asked by countless friends about the process and also who orchestrated the sale. I am sure over the next few years you will get several more referrals calling. A well-deserved reflection of your professionalism and service.”
“Hi Tom, I have been asked by a few colleagues re the sale of my practice. I think for now they were just planning ahead but I did mention that I was very pleased with your service and that if I was to sell another practice ( which won’t happen—I’m enjoying my retirement too much ) I would use your services again, without hesitation.”
“Thank you for your congratulations! It was a smooth transition with Tom at the helm, so it was easy for me!”
