October 2026 CCIM-WA Luncheon

Selling a business is often the largest financial transaction of an entrepreneur's life, and most owners underestimate how complex it is. Gregory Kovsky, President and CEO of IBA and a broker with 300+ personal transactions, on why so many businesses never sell. At this luncheon, Gregory unpack the realities of business brokerage: why the barriers to entry are too low for what the job demands, the three tiers of communication (articulate, educate, persuade), how to vet a broker the way you'd vet a surgeon, and why 70% of IBA's clients are selling their life's work in a retirement exit that can't be fumbled.
