John Knipf (Pronounced "Neff") - President, California Practice Sales

As a licensed Real Estate Broker and President of California Practice Sales, Inc., I have been appraising and brokering dental practices since 1974. As one of the youngest stockbrokers hired by Merrill-Lynch (in the top 10% of my class), I was top producer of the 40-broker office in Santa Ana, California. It was during this time that I was introduced to dental practice sales and realized that there was a niche market that could benefit from someone with my background and skills. My degree in Finance, combined with a solid work ethic and dedication to the industry, has allowed me to serve the dental community for over 30 years. As a Founding Member of American Dental Sales, I have lectured at USC, UCLA, and Loma Linda; personally visited over 6,000 dental offices in Southern California; recorded video tapes and CDs for buyers and sellers; and have been blessed with over 2,500 successful dental practice sales in Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, and other Southern California communities. Recognized by the dental community as an individual of the highest integrity with a firm grasp of the mechanics for successful transitions, I offer to you a simple suggestion: if you want the best, work with the best. I live for the difference that I can make in the lives of my clients, and I work passionately toward this. Our track record of successful dental practice sales and repeat business support our basic standard that we are not in this for the moment, we are involved in this industry for the rest of our lives. Let California Practice Sales, Inc., channel this focus and dedication if you are interested in selling or purchasing a dental office. I look forward to helping you.
