One specialty:healthcare real estate.

Healthcare real estate is all we do — senior care and behavioral health. Same buyers, same underwriting: rate per bed, occupancy, licensing, payer mix. Owning and operating both is what lets us price them like a buyer, not a bystander.

Senior Care

Assisted living & senior housing

Assisted living, memory care, and residential assisted living — from a 10-bed home to a 100-bed community. We've owned and operated in this lane, so we underwrite the operating business, not just the real estate.

Behavioral Health

Residential behavioral & mental-health facilities

Licensed residential behavioral health and mental-health facilities. Same operating-business underwriting as senior care, with a fast-growing, well-capitalized buyer pool actively looking for beds.

The one claim no generalist can make

We’ve owned and operatedboth.

“We don’t just broker care facilities. We’ve owned and run them.”

Operator-led

We’ve owned and run senior care and behavioral health ourselves. We know the survey, the census, the payer mix — cold.

We speak both sides

Real-estate value and operating-business value — priced together, the way a real buyer underwrites it.

Discreet & direct

Owner-direct, confidential, NDA-protected. Staff and residents never know unless you decide to move.

What WeDo

One specialty, the full deal cycle. Everything below moves a healthcare-real-estate deal from first confidential conversation to a closed transaction.

Senior Care Advisory

Confidential representation of assisted living and senior-care facilities nationwide — valuations, qualified-buyer matching, and full-service transaction management from intake through close.

Investment Sales

Off-market deal sourcing, 1031 exchange facilitation, and portfolio repositioning for owners and high-net-worth investors trading senior-care assets.

Land, Development & Advisory

Site selection, zoning and feasibility analysis, ground-up development consulting, and capital-stack structuring — the full continuum from raw land to a stabilized, licensed facility.

Consulting & Licensing

Change-of-ownership (CHOW) guidance, operational consulting, and market-entry strategy for operators expanding into new states.

Why CrawfordCommercial Group

Your capital deserves a team that treats every transaction with the gravity it requires.

Absolute Discretion

Every engagement is confidential from day one. Your financials, identity, and strategy stay private throughout the entire process. No exceptions.

National Reach, Local Expertise

Licensed in Arizona. Through our brokerage, eXp Commercial, LLC — one of the largest commercial real estate brokerages in North America — we serve assisted-living clients nationwide via locally licensed brokers in each state.

Qualified Network Only

Our investor and operator network is pre-vetted — verified funds, proven track records, and aligned goals. Your time is spent only on opportunities that close.

Results-Driven Execution

We don't just list deals. We underwrite them, structure them, and close them — from first valuation through due diligence to the closing table.

Where the DifferenceShows Up in Your Numbers

A typical advisor lists your facility and waits. We work it like an investor — sourcing buyers from public-records intelligence, underwriting to lender standard, and structuring the close. Here is what that changes, line by line.

What It Affects
Typical Advisor
Crawford Commercial Group
Buyer Sourcing
Posts to MLS / LoopNet and waits for inbound interest.
Mines public-records distress signals — tax delinquencies, lien filings, expiring licenses, deferred maintenance — to reach motivated principals before the deal ever hits the open market.
Pricing & Valuation
Prices off a CMA and a few stale comps.
Underwrites to in-place T12 NOI and a stabilized pro forma, benchmarked against proprietary market intelligence on 65,000+ senior-care facilities — so you list at a number that holds through a lender's appraisal.
Buyer Quality
Forwards every inquiry; you vet financing yourself.
Pre-qualifies a vetted national network for proof of funds, operating history, and CHOW readiness — only real buyers reach your table.
Deal & Tax Structure
Hands the contract to the attorneys and steps back.
Structures the transaction up front — 1031 exchange, entity sale vs. asset sale, seller financing, earn-outs — to protect proceeds and keep the deal financeable.
Speed to Close
Re-trades and surprises stall diligence for months.
CHOW timeline, licensing pathway, and diligence package mapped before going to market — fewer re-trades, a cleaner file, a faster close.
Confidentiality
Public listing tips off staff, residents, and competitors.
Off-market and NDA-gated by default — your financials and identity stay private until you decide to move forward.
Focus
Care facilities are one asset class among dozens.
Care facilities are all we do — senior care and behavioral health. Licensing, payor mix, staffing ratios, and cap-rate benchmarks we know cold.

The bottom line: better sourcing finds the right buyer, accurate underwriting defends your price, and clean structuring gets you to the closing table with more of the proceeds intact.
