For many dental practice owners, one of the biggest questions when preparing to sell is whether the buyer will also purchase the building. The answer depends on who you sell to and how your ownership is structured. If you have spent years building both your practice and property value, understanding your options can help you make the best decision for your financial and professional future.
At Parkview Dental Partners in Florida, the team regularly guides dentists through the process of selling a dental practice—including what happens with the real estate. Founded for dentists, by a dentist, Chief Dental Officer and Founder Dr. Kenneth Liszewski designed Parkview to support dental professionals through personalized transitions that respect their goals, values, and legacy.
Understanding Real Estate in a Practice Sale
When you sell your dental practice to another dentist, the transaction may include the real estate, but not always. Some buyers want to purchase both the business and property, while others prefer to lease. However, when selling to a dental partner such as a DSO, there are often more flexible options available to fit your specific situation.
Parkview Dental Partners offers several approaches depending on your property ownership. If you own your building, Parkview works with trusted real estate partners who can purchase the property alongside the business closing. This can provide sellers with both liquidity and peace of mind, knowing that both transactions are handled seamlessly.
For owners who lease their space, Parkview can assume and negotiate a new lease as part of the sale. This ensures continuity for patients and staff without disrupting daily operations, while giving the seller freedom from long-term property management responsibilities.
The Benefits of Selling to a DSO
Selling to a DSO offers several advantages that extend well beyond real estate considerations. DSOs have the financial strength and operational structures to make the transition process smooth and efficient. They also provide systems that help your practice continue thriving long after the sale.
When you partner with a DSO like Parkview, you gain access to business and administrative support that lifts the management burdens from your shoulders. The sale can often be completed at your preferred speed—sometimes in as little as 90 days—and the team offers transition options tailored to your goals, whether that means staying involved or stepping back gradually.
These partnerships also bring meaningful benefits to your staff and patients. Parkview Dental Partners invests in advanced technology, marketing, and career development, ensuring your practice continues to flourish under a strong foundation.
Financial Flexibility and Long-Term Value
Choosing whether to sell your real estate along with your practice depends on your financial plans. Some dentists prefer the simplicity of selling everything at once, while others hold onto their property as a long-term investment and lease it to the new owner. Parkview makes both options accessible.
The team’s financial partners ensure the process is fair, transparent, and aligned with your desired outcome. Regardless of your choice, Parkview’s flexible deal structures help you achieve both stability and strong financial return.
This adaptability is one of the reasons many dentists prefer working with a DSO rather than handling a private sale on their own. It allows for greater freedom in planning both your professional exit and your long-term investment strategy.
