John is an absolute GEM. Practice transitions are complicated. As a seller, having John by my side every step of the way made the process manageable. Whatever it was I needed- support, empathy, advice, information or just a good laugh- John was there 24/7. He is incredibly knowledgeable and well connected in the pacific northwest dental market. Highly recommend John and Green Sail Transitions when it comes to buying or selling a practice in Oregon and beyond.

For the past three years, I had been looking for a dental practice to purchase. Green Sail Transitions has been helping me pretty much the entire time. They went on multiple trips to prospective practices with me to help me find the right one. Nancy in particular would send me info on practices she thought would be ideal for me without me even asking. They didn't stop helping after we found one and continued to guide me through the purchase. I would not be typing this from my new office if it weren't for their dedication and assistance. 🙂

I couldn't be happier with my practice purchase through Green Sail! As a first time buyer, I had a lot of questions and unforeseen hiccups along the way. Nancy Knot was incredibly knowledgeable and made the process as smooth and efficient as possible. I would recommend their services to anyone!

Nancy, John and AJ were fabulous to work with. They were always available, responsive and handled everything professionally and quickly. They did a great job marketing the practice and had buyers vetted and ready. They have a great relationship with bankers, accountants and attorneys in the area and were able to overcome issues that would have been difficult otherwise. Their experience was indispensable and I would recommend them without any hesitation.

Nancy and the rest of the team at Greensail did everything I asked and more before during and after my transition. I always felt connected and informed, and there was never any point where I felt uncomfortable with my decisions. If you want to get the best sale price and have the best service Greensail is for you.

I am so thankful for John Van Leeuwen and Green Sail Transitions managing the sale of my dental practice. John was punctual, efficient,
professional, thorough, available and personable. He guided me through the process
seamlessly. He was very helpful to not only me,
but also the dentist buying my practice.
Facing a heart surgery, it was such a relief to complete the process in 3 months.👍👍❤️

My husband, Mark Builder, DMD, sold his practice with the help of Green Sail Transitions, and he (who somehow doesn't have a Google account) said... "I recently sold my practice with the help of John and Nancy. They guided me through a very complicated deal with expertise and good humor. They were available 24/7 for any questions or needs that came up. I would highly recommend greensails to anyone looking to transition out of or into a practice."

I can't thank Nancy and John enough for making my practice transition seamless and painless. They were there every step of the way, from the moment I reached out asking about possibly selling my practice through the time the sale was finalized. Their experience and connections in this field are priceless and made what I thought was going to be a daunting experience very easy. Thanks for going above and beyond! I would definitely work with these brokers again if I ever need to buy or sell a dental practice.

I had John help with valuation and sale of my practice. Although I had a successor already interested. His reputation on knowledge of the market allowed both of us to proceed without hesitation. I had John help with the entire process and he was always available to quickly answer questions. I have already recommended Green Sail to another dentist friend as he contemplates retirement.

John at Green Sail Transitions was excellent to work with. He was professional, timely, and put together a beautiful online presentation of our office for recruitment of a new associate. Because of his work we were able to hire a new Doctor in just 2 months! I would highly recommend Green Sail for any type of dental transition needs!

After 38 years in dentistry, a medical reason forced me to sell my practice. I had no idea what I was getting into. John Van Leeuwen, of Green Sail Transitions, came in, and right up front, told me what he could do and what it would cost. Even though it was a friendly buyer and seller arrangement, when the lawyers got involved it suddenly got serious. All the way through this adventure, John held my hand and arranged other necessary professionals as needed. He was readily available for advice, even when he was on vacation! I, very confidently, recommend him for other dental office transitions.

Our specialty (difficult to sell) practice was located in southern Oregon, not as desirable as the Portland area. We worked with Steve first and then John for 30 months and finally sold for an excellent price. The Green Sail team worked tirelessly on our behalf, especially during the negotiation and sale process. They guided us every step of the way and were always available day or night via text, phone or email. They basically held our hand and the buyer’s hand through the sale process. We highly recommend Green Sail and thank them for their excellent work.

I just purchased a practice through Green Sail working with John. He's a really friendly guy who made the whole process as smooth as possible. He did a great job as an intermediary, being very responsive and taking the time to explain the process which made sure small unimportant details didn't hold up or sour the deal. I couldn't be happier with the result!

I can not thank John enough in helping me sell my practice. He was very professional and know's the value of dental practice's in today's market. I found him to be very personable and concerned in finding the right buyer for my practice that I had built over 40 years. With his knowledge of potential buyers that he has worked with I can say he found the perfect fit. John went the extra mile in contacting the buyers to let them know how much he felt it was the right practice for them. The transaction and the transition couldn't have been any easier. All of our staff stayed with the new owners and the practice is thriving! I would recommend Green Sail Transitions to any seller or buyer!

John did a fantastic job with the sale of my wife's office and building. Practice transitions are stressful and complicated. John was a great leader in minimizing the stress and taking care of everything. It is really nice to have someone who is local and knows the nuances of the local market. I would recommend without hesitation the services of Green Sail to both buyers and sellers.

John is the BEST! He will go above and beyond to provide you with any information on any practice! John is someone who will take the time and make sure you understand the process of buying a practice. I’m a young provider and it was so helpful to get his insight from his professional expertise! He even took time out of his busy schedule to personally meet with me to discuss what options I had as a potential buyer! Most brokers usually meet with the sellers to initiate a sale, however John is all about helping people out! He knows his stuff! From his quick responses to his sense of humor, and his periodic check ins, I was so impressed by the 5 star service John provided! I highly recommend Green Sail Transitions— don’t think twice! Contact John Van Leeuwen — You will not be disappointed! 🙂
