Why retirement sales are different

A retiring owner has usually run the business for decades, isn’t leaving because it’s failing, and will often stay for a transition. It’s the closest thing to a reason for sale you can verify before you call.

We read it from the listing’s own words. “Retiring” here means the broker said so — not that we confirmed it.
