Plenty of experienced brokers and searchers on this platform. Would love to hear what you think of these numbers.

Happy to share my perspective as a broker to see if it corresponds with the response you receive from the buy-side.
I typically receive a few hundred inquires per LOI for my listings.Lots of tire kickers out there.
From PE firms buyers, they typically respond looking at###-###-#### deals per year and closing 1-2.I’d suspect their chances of identifying and closing a deal to be slightly better than the average searchfunder as their targets are more narrowly defined and they typically bring more deal experience to the search process.
