The Critical Distinction

A dental practice is two transactions hiding inside one.

Most residential realtors know nothing about dental goodwill, active patient recall, or operatory plumbing. Most practice brokers have never negotiated a 10-year commercial lease with demolition clauses or handled a multi-million-dollar medical office sale. Michael Makabeh brings both worlds into alignment.

1. The Practice Business

The clinical goodwill, patient relationships, and cash flow built across decades of patient care.

Active patient counts (24-month recare metrics)
Insurance breakdown (PPO vs. Fee-For-Service vs. Denti-Cal)
Hygiene department production & profitability ratio
Digital imaging, CBCT, intraoral scanners, and delivery units
Associate retention and post-sale doctor transition terms

2. The Real Estate & Lease

The physical facility, mechanical infrastructure, and long-term occupancy rights that protect practice equity.

Specialized plumbing, medical gas, vacuum & air compressors
Lease assignment clauses, landlord consent, and personal releases
Tenant improvement (TI) amortization & restoration liabilities
Free-standing medical building or medical condo purchase options
Zoning, ADA access compliance, and patient parking ratios

Why This Matters to Your Transition

A buyer cannot obtain SBA dental loan financing without securing at least a 10-year term on the facility lease. Michael coordinates practice valuation, buyer financing, and commercial lease terms together—eliminating the most common deal-killer in dental transitions.

Advisory Profile

Experience where clinical business intersects with commercial property.

Based in Southern California, Michael Makabeh serves as Senior Commercial Acquisition Manager at Peak Commercial. Over the course of a career spanning more than 25 years in business ownership, commercial property management, and strategic consulting, Michael has built a reputation as a trusted, discreet counselor to practice owners.

"Selling a dental practice is one of the most consequential financial and emotional moments of a doctor's career. You cannot delegate it to someone who views it as just another piece of real estate."

As the founder of Syndicate Medical Billing Professionals, Michael possesses a deep, nuanced understanding of healthcare receivables, insurance reimbursement cycles, provider fee schedules, and collections. When combined with institutional commercial real estate brokerage through Peak Commercial—including large-scale asset management experience—he provides dental practitioners with an advisor who can evaluate both financial statements and complex commercial leases.

Private Market

The best dental practice may never hit the open market.

Many retiring doctors will only transition their practices if complete discretion is assured. They never list publicly on commercial websites. By joining Michael's private buyer registry, pre-approved doctors gain access to confidential, off-market opportunities before anyone else.
