Transworld Business Advisors is the world’s largest business brokerage firm, with over 250 offices and more than 850 Brokers across the globe. Our Oregon-based office is locally owned and operated, and our team is deeply rooted in the communities we serve. While we benefit from the tools, training, and reach of a global brand, our focus is on providing personalized, local service to business owners across Oregon—including the Portland metro area, the Oregon Coast, the Willamette Valley wine country, and the Columbia River Gorge.
The Oregon office is led by Daren Bucklin, a seasoned business advisor with over 20 years of executive experience in healthcare operations and business sales. Daren specializes in healthcare-related transactions and has successfully represented sellers in home health, home care, hospice, urgent care, primary care, outpatient therapy, mental health counseling, drug rehabilitation, and other medical practices. In 2024, Daren was inducted into the Transworld Hall of Fame and has been consistently recognized for his sales performance as a member of the President’s Club. He has also been honored for his leadership in franchise development. Daren focuses on supporting his team of Brokers and overseeing transactions to ensure each client receives expert guidance and a high level of service throughout the process.
