The numbers back it up â $790K in seller's discretionary earnings, 872 jobs completed in four years, a 4.8-star Google rating on 250-plus reviews, and a referral-to-install conversion rate of 97.48%. So why does that last number make experienced buyers nervous? In this episode, Steve Pedersen and Steve Walsh pull the listing apart using the Blue Horizons AI exit readiness framework â what's genuinely strong, what a buyer would flag in due diligence, and the three questions they'd ask the seller before moving forward.
