Acquisition Consultant
Chris brings a dealer-side perspective to every buy list, having spent his career on the retail side of the business working inventory appraisals, trade desks, and pre-owned operations.

Co-Founder & Lead Consultant

He has spent decades on the wholesale side of the industry — evaluating vehicles, structuring acquisition programs, and building the disciplined sourcing framework that CDM Dealer Hub runs on today.
Rust-free inventory = Faster turns + Bigger grosses.
With 50+ years combined experience, we protect dealers from “bad actors” in the wholesale space because we know who represents vehicles honestly.
One of the fastest ways to lose gross profit is to overbuy inventory.
Auction excitement, inconsistent buying strategies, and pressure to fill inventory can lead dealerships to pay too much for the wrong vehicles.
CDM Dealer Hub helps dealer groups maintain disciplined acquisition practices by:
-
Establishing approved bid ranges before purchase
-
Reviewing MMR, retail listings, and wholesale trends
-
Avoiding emotional or impulse purchases

Buy with Discipline
Every vehicle should have a plan:
-
What will it retail for?
-
What will reconditioning cost?
-
How quickly will it sell?
-
What is the expected front-end gross profit?
-
What is the maximum acquisition price?
If those questions cannot be answered, the vehicle should not be purchased.

The CDM Dealer Hub Philosophy
The cheapest car is not always the best buy. The most expensive car is rarely the best buy. The best buy is the vehicle that delivers the strongest return on investment.
We Source. You Sell.
This is a message dealer principals and CFOs appreciate because it focuses on ROI, inventory turn, gross profit, and avoiding costly buying mistakes, not just finding cars.
