Operators or searchers willing to talk about their brokerage experience?

I recently cofounded a stealth startup that is trying to make it easier for business owners to list and sell their company directly vs. through a business broker. As part of our ongoing market research and validation, it would be very helpful to discuss the experiences this community has had with brokers. We would love to hear the good, the bad, and everything between. Reply to this post or DM if you are willing to spare###-###-#### minutes to share your experience, or give me your perspective on our idea.
