In this episode, Evernest heavyweights Matthew Whitaker, Spencer Sutton, and Gray Hall discuss the biggest lessons they've learned from acquiring more than 30 companies. From unexpected challenges during integration to building the right team and managing owner expectations, this conversation dives deep into what it really takes to grow a business through acquisition.

You'll Learn:

• Why an acquisition can feel less exciting and more like buying work - and why it's still worthwhile
• How building trust with owners can be easy if you're strategic about it
• What level of business density best empowers success in a new market
• The importance of creating a dedicated acquisition team

Plus:

• The biggest challenges when working with new rental property owners post-acquisition
• What to expect when buying a small business and how that impacts employees
