Do you value the real estate and the operating business separately?

When a property houses a licensed operation, we look at both — the real estate and the operating business — and at how a buyer and lender are likely to allocate value between them.

Is the A.L.F. Estimate an appraisal?

No. The A.L.F. Estimate is an estimate only, not an appraisal. It is a starting point for a conversation with an advisor.

Can a sale be kept confidential from staff and residents?

Yes. Engagements are handled under NDA from first contact, and marketing is targeted to qualified buyers rather than published broadly.

Overview

The building and the business, priced together.

Senior housing is a real estate asset with a licensed care business inside it. A buyer is paying for both, and a lender underwrites both. CCGX advises the way the market actually prices these assets: real estate value and operating value, reconciled.

The practice covers residential assisted living homes, larger assisted living communities, memory care, independent living and campuses that combine them. Assisted living has its own Market Desk with deeper data, tools and market pages.
