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.
