Selling California’s Residential Care Facilities

Creating a wonderful place to live for those who need assisted living and Alzheimer’s care requires a lot of experience and attention. And so does helping dedicated caregivers sell or purchase a care facility. At ProvidersEdge Properties, a division of Sunbelt Advisors, we are specialists in selling Residential Care, Assisted Living and Alzheimer’s Care facilities. We understand your needs because we’ve been there for many others just like you who have wanted to sell or purchase Residential Care Facilities. We work with you to understand your specific requirements, and then we design a customized exit plan that accomplishes your transaction related goals. We then work discreetly and creatively to help make your vision a reality, one profitable RCF transaction at a time.

We do it by offering the most complete Facility Sales & Acquisition services in the Southern California Marketplace, keeping your long-range goals in view as we guide you through selling or acquiring facilities. We work on a commission basis like a traditional real estate agent/brokerage firm, but we go beyond basic real estate knowledge to offer a full range of services critical to properly pricing and transferring a RCF within California’s Community Care Guidelines. It's ProvidersEdge Properties business brokerage approach, which yields not just successful transactions at the best price and terms, but the right transactions for both the Seller’s and Buyer’s big picture.

Whether you're selling a portfolio of facilities, or acquiring another senior living enterprise, ProvidersEdge Properties can help. We have years of experience on all sides of the deal, having led and closed a host of successful transactions for RCFE’s, Adult Care Facilities, Brain Injured Adults and Assisted Living companies in The Southern California.

Services For Sellers:

ProvidersEdge Properties business brokerage approach is especially valuable when selling a facility. We work to uncover the full, often hidden value of your business assets over and above the value of your real estate. This is a skill and process, which a traditional real estate broker(s)/agent(s) do not understand and cannot perform on your behalf. Our business valuation process and intensive advisory work can identify value creation opportunities that may greatly increase the worth of your sale.

Then we explore relationships with a group of high-potential strategic buyers, working discretely with a list of companies approved by you rather than broadcasting your plans to a wide audience thru a Multiple Listing Service (MLS). Our discretion means your business is protected from rumor, disruption, the departure of key employees, or competitive responses in your local marketplace.

At ProvidersEdge Properties, we are highly selective about the facilities we accept to sell, on the owners behalf. Why? Because rather than being a volume-oriented "listing" business, we are a relationship business. We dedicate the time and energy of one or two senior professionals to each client's entire process, from initial strategy discussions, to pricing on thru to the closing (and often beyond). The advantage for you is that buyers throughout the industry know we're rigorous and discriminating, so they take very seriously the assets we bring to market and are more confident about making offers.

Once we've agreed to offer your facility or portfolio of Facilities. We conduct a comprehensive financial analysis, performing the "due diligence" that will let potential acquirers know enough, and feel confident enough, to put forth offers. The result is better-qualified offers and higher bids, and that means greater control for you over the terms and conditions of your sale.

Unlike a real estate agent/broker, ProvidersEdge Properties never broadcasts via a multiple listing service (MLS) the fact that your facility or portfolio is for sale (unless requested). Instead, we research our proprietary national databases of active acquirers in the senior living industry (a database we update daily as we talk to buyers and research the industry) in order to identify potential strategic acquirers for your facility or portfolio.

When your facility’s marketing package has generated interest in the marketplace, ProvidersEdge Properties facilitates the negotiation and due diligence process, and then provides all the needed documents to maintain an orderly, timely closing. We maintain close communication with you while we work to obtain the price and the terms you seek.

Our services include:

• Soliciting letters of intent from buyers
• Arranging appointments and leading conference calls
• Sending follow-up documentation
• Evaluating offers
• Negotiating terms and conditions (Seller’s agent only)
• Keeping the process on track through the closing
