Should I hire an advisor before selling a senior living property?

Last reviewed · Brokers & Advisors

Direct answer

For most owners, yes. A senior housing advisor can value the community, identify improvements that raise price before marketing, keep the sale confidential and bring qualified buyers to the table. Bringing an advisor in well before listing gives you time to fix issues buyers would otherwise discount.

What to know

Advisors help set a realistic price, so the deal doesn't fall apart in due diligence.

They prepare the documents buyers need and manage the process through change of ownership.

Starting early, ideally 12 to 24 months before a sale, gives you time to raise occupancy and clean up financials.
