AVERAGE OF CLOSE PRICE % OF LIST PRICE HIGHLIGHTS:
• There is little pricing negotiation that happens if the business is valued correctly. Transworld transactions close at an ave rage
of 88% of the listing price.
• The internet (and access to getting information) is better than ever. Buyers can comparison shop, just like they do with
everything else.
• Takeaway: Price it right; get it sold.

2022 List To Close Intervals (Months)
by List Price Category
• The larger the business- the more time it takes to sell. This slide confirms our assumptions. It makes sense because larger firm s
are more complex.
• Brokers only get paid when the deal closes, so they have a shared interest in getting across the finish line.
• Takeaway: Have reasonable expectations.
