Hi All,
I'm new to searching.  Is it common for searchers to work with business brokers?  If yes, does this practice tend to become less common as the searcher develops more sources?

Searchers do work with brokers and see good results. One plus with working with brokers is they have the deal ready for closing and have already convinced the business owner on its valuation. When you deal with the business owner directly, you have to do convincing part and show them why their business is worth what it is. It is not always an easy task as most business owners have personal attachments to their business.
