About Us

About Crawford Commercial Group

A Scottsdale-based team that has owned and operated care facilities — and now brokers them. Assisted living and behavioral health: investment sales, valuations, and market intelligence, nationwide. Brokered by eXp Commercial, LLC.

Our Story

We Ran the Buildings Before We Brokered Them.

Crawford Commercial Group was founded by Jake Crawford in Scottsdale, Arizona, on a simple edge: we’ve owned and operated care facilities ourselves. We know the survey, the census, the payer mix, and the staffing math — because we’ve lived them, not just modeled them.

That operating experience shapes everything we do. Every resource, every relationship, and every system at Crawford is built around the ALF space — from 10-bed residential assisted living homes (RALs) and memory care facilities to large-scale senior housing communities with 200+ beds. When you're ready to sell your assisted living facility, you'll work with a team that lives in this market every day.

Our specialization covers every corner of the senior housing ecosystem: assisted living facilities, residential assisted living homes, memory care communities, adult foster care homes, and behavioral health housing. Whether you're an owner looking for an assisted living home valuation, an investor asking who buys assisted living facilities, or a first-time buyer searching for an assisted living facility for sale in Arizona — Crawford Commercial Group has the expertise, the data, and the network to deliver results.

Why Crawford

What It Means to Work With an ALF-Focused Group

Crawford was built from the ground up to serve the assisted living facility market — one asset class, one focus, one team dedicated to your transaction.

Scottsdale-Based, Boots on the Ground

Crawford is locally headquartered in Scottsdale, AZ with first-hand market knowledge across every Arizona submarket. We know the streets, the operators, and the regulators — because we work this market every day.

Owned & Operated

We've owned and operated care facilities, and senior housing is the only asset class we broker. One focus, real operating experience behind it.

We serve every segment of the assisted living market — from intimate residential assisted living homes to institutional memory care campuses.

The Vision

Not a Plan to Get Bigger. A Plan to Get Better.

Most brokerages grow by adding agents. Crawford Commercial Group was built on the opposite conviction — that a small group of specialists, given the right tools and pointed at a single asset class, will out-perform a large generalist shop on every measure that matters to a client.

That is the whole thesis behind this firm. One asset class. Senior housing and behavioral health real estate, and nothing else. No property management arm, no leasing division, no competing incentive quietly arguing you should hold. Every hour the group spends goes into knowing this market better than anyone advising in it.

The tooling is the multiplier. A proprietary database tracking more than 65,000 facilities nationwide, an in-house underwriting platform that stress-tests every opportunity on T12 versus pro forma, and research capacity that would ordinarily require a floor of analysts. It is why a boutique group can run institutional-quality diligence on a ten-bed residential home and on a 200-bed community with the same rigor.

The goal is to be the most productive brokerage per person in the country — measured in deals closed and clients served, not in headcount or office doors.

Crawford is owner-operated. The people advising on these transactions have owned and run care facilities themselves, and that shows up in the questions asked during diligence and in the problems caught before they reach a closing table.

“We would rather be the group a client calls back for their next three deals than the group with the most business cards in the room.”
