About LAER Business

Local trust. Specialized expertise.

LAER Business is a business brokerage program offered in partnership with LAER Realty Partners. It connects LAER's network of agents, and the business owners they know, with an experienced business brokerage team.

Why we exist

Business owners deserve better than a sign on the door.


For many owners, their business is their largest asset and their life's work. Yet when it is time to sell, there are few people they can call. Their real estate agent knows them and their town, but business sales need different tools: valuation, confidential marketing, buyer screening and months of negotiation and diligence.

LAER Business brings both together. The agent who knows the owner stays involved, and a dedicated brokerage team handles the specialized work, from the first valuation to the closing table.

How we work

Four principles behind every engagement.

01

Discretion

Confidentiality is not a feature of the process. It is the process. We protect owners, employees and buyers at every step.

02

Candor

We tell owners what their business is worth, not what they want to hear, and we tell agents plainly when a deal is not ready.

03

Discipline

A business sale has many moving parts. We run a structured process so nothing is missed and momentum is never lost.

04

Relationships

Most great deals start with trust. We keep the agents and advisors who know our clients at the center of every sale.
