Has anyone had any firsthand experience with buy-side brokers and able to share insights? If so, would you also be open to recommending a broker?

I would recommended groups that have buyside experience in the industry you are targeting. Two benefits: (1) they have background industry knowledge and will be given more credibility when talking to potential sellers. This is a major benefit for industries where business owners are reached out to often (2) Less important but still a benefit- they likely already collected data on businesses and their owners. While the list may have owner's who previously "passed" on selling, things change with time, and you may have different criteria than the previous retained buy side client
