🛠️ What does it really feel like to sell the handyman business you spent 10 years building?

In this episode of the Handyman Success Podcast, Jason Call sits down with Allen Lee to unpack the sale of Honestly Handyman Services in March 2026. Allen shares the emotional side of selling a business, the identity shift that came with stepping away, and the behind-the-scenes process of finding the right buyer.

They also dig into what made the business sellable: documented systems, strong processes, a trusted brand, clean operations, and a team that could keep running without Allen in the driver’s seat.

Whether you want to sell someday or simply build a stronger, more profitable handyman business, this episode is packed with practical takeaways. 💪
