The U.S. assisted living sector is experiencing significant growth, driven by demographics, longevity, and the need for purpose-built care communities. Investors are entering the space seeking recession-resilient alternatives to traditional real estate assets.
An ALF broker specializes in the sale, acquisition, and advisory of senior housing communities. They bring market knowledge, financial expertise, and regulatory navigation to every transaction.
From financial underwriting to CHOW management and marketing, brokers provide end-to-end transaction services tailored to the needs of owners and investors in healthcare real estate.
Valuations are driven by EBITDA multiples, real estate cap rates, and operational strength. Payor mix, occupancy, and physical condition are critical factors.
Brokers help manage state licensure, CHOW protocols, Medicaid certifications, and HUD-financed asset requirements—all essential for a clean transfer of ownership.
Active buyers include PE firms, family offices, REITs, regional operators, and nonprofits. Each brings different priorities and underwriting strategies.
Brokers use blind OMs, CRM databases, investor webinars, and pitch decks—always balancing reach with confidentiality.
Full service includes operational reviews, surveys, appraisals, contract audits, and license transfer coordination with legal teams.
