"Acquiring More Profit is the long-awaited update to the real estate industry's groundbreaking and bestselling M&A book, Acquiring Profit. Many of the foundational principles outlined in the first book helped ""kick-start"" the M&A frenzy of the past two decades, and have been updated in this edition to reflect the current market conditions and the experience gained from participation in hundreds more actual transactions. The ""win-win"" concept anchoring the original process is still highlighted.

Acquiring More Profit is appropriately named, as the primary objective of any transaction is to increase the firm's profitability and overall value. However, the authors believe (and show by example) that successful M&A transactions are more than merely financial transactions. They must solve a problem or provide an opportunity, and the outcome must be beneficial to both the seller and buyer on many levels, including: the market perception, their future roles, family, agents, and staff.

The book offers practical advice and helpful tips to everyone from brokers just starting their M&A journey up to the most sophisticated and experienced practitioners. The book covers the complete M&A process literally, from contemplating an acquisition strategy to closing and beyond. Readers will be led on a complete and thorough journey outlining every phase of the process.

Some of the areas covered include:

Is an M&A strategy right for me? Where do I find prospects and how do I approach them? What information/diligence should I request? How do I value a company? What should I know about negotiating and structuring an offer?

Tips on creating a Letter of Intent (LOI) and agreement Useful checklists and forms for every step of the process Advice on getting from LOI to closing Integration strategies and options Helpful tips and pitfalls to avoid

The information and practical and proven advice offered could be the difference between a successful and profitable transaction - or one that both sides might regret.

Be sure to get the companion book, Acquiring (More) Profit Implementation System, which includes the customizable forms, checklists, and more you'll need to complete your acquisitions successfully."

Acquiring More Profit, The Definitive Guide to Successful Real Estate Brokerage Mergers & Acquisitions by George Slusser and Victor Lund is a must-read for every brokerage executive. I believe there will be many new opportunities for broker/owners to explore and evaluate in terms of expanding their firms, and this book helps breakdown and explain the potential, the challenges and how to make it happen for your business. John Featherston, Founder & CEO RIS Media We are proof that the principles, tools, and systems described in this book work. This book is even more comprehensive than the first one which has been our M&A foundation for years. We have grown exponentially through M&A by engaging George and the WAV Group on our last seven acquisitions. They assist us with all phases of the M&A process from valuation to closing. We would not consider doing one without their assistance and now he and Victor are sharing their expertise with everyone. Larry Rideout, Chairman & Owner Gibson Sotheby's International Realty Finally, a comprehensive, evergreen and incredibly easy to digest blue- print for M&A success in the residential real estate space. I've experienced both sides of the process as an executive leader. The best advice I can offer is to conduct extraordinary research, be incredibly prepared and have a watertight implementation plan. This book is a stellar re- source that will help you best accomplish those tasks. Pat Shea, President & CEO Lyon Real Estate George is a legend in the real estate valuation, mergers, and acquisitions space. Anytime we are doing anything big, I always make sure to discuss it with him. Now he, combined with Victor Lund are offering the benefit of their vast experience to everyone.
