David Glanville

David Glanville is a business broker with Vaughn & Associates, where he helps owners sell privately held companies and helps buyers evaluate, negotiate, and close the right acquisition.

He brings a finance-first approach to brokerage. David holds an accounting degree from Manhattan University (formerly Manhattan College) and completed additional study in mergers and acquisitions at Kennesaw State University’s Michael J. Coles College of Business. He is a Certified Mergers and Acquisitions Professional (CM&AP), a Certified Mediator, a licensed real estate broker, and an Accredited Senior Business Broker. That mix of financial analysis, deal structure, and negotiation is useful when a listing needs clean recast numbers, a defensible valuation, and a process that can survive due diligence.

His background spans business transactions and commercial real estate. He has also written for other practitioners: The Real Estate Agent’s Guide to Selling Businesses is a practical handbook on how agents can apply existing sales skills to business deals. That same focus on process—qualification, confidential marketing, documentation, and closing—shapes how he works with clients at Vaughn & Associates.

At the firm, David supports buyers and sellers of owner-operated businesses, franchise resales, and service companies. He emphasizes accurate financials, discreet marketing, and clear communication from first conversation through closing, so owners can stay focused on running the business while the transaction is managed professionally.
