Thinking About Selling Your Nevada Care Home?

Why a care home sale is different

If you are thinking, ‘I want to sell my care home,’ the first step is understanding what buyers will evaluate and how to protect confidentiality. You are selling three things at once: a licensed operating business, the care of real people, and in most cases a piece of residential real estate. Each is valued differently, each is examined differently by a buyer, and a mistake in one can unwind the other two.

A general real estate agent prices the house on comparables and stops there. What a care home is actually worth depends on the licensed operation inside the property, and a comparable-only approach misses both that and the licensing steps that decide when you can close.

Our work is to prepare the facility properly, market it without your residents, families or staff ever learning of the sale from the outside, screen buyers before they see anything sensitive, and structure the transaction so the licensing process runs alongside escrow rather than after it.

Our process, start to finish

Preparation. We assemble three years of financials, census history, staffing, licence and inspection records, and identify anything that would reduce value if a buyer found it first.

Confidential marketing. A blind summary goes to a screened buyer list. The offering memorandum is released only after a non-disclosure agreement is signed.

Buyer screening. Financial capability and realistic licensing viability are confirmed before detailed information changes hands.

Structure, diligence and licensing. The purchase agreement is prepared by the parties' attorneys, diligence runs against prepared records, and the buyer files their own licence application early.

Transition. Staff retention, resident continuity and your handover period are planned in advance so care is never interrupted.

Frequently asked questions

Will anyone know my care home is for sale?

No. Your facility is marketed confidentially under a signed non-disclosure agreement, with no sign, no address and no facility name in the advertising. You decide when residents, families and staff are told.

Do I have to sell the real estate with the business?

No. Many Nevada owners sell the operating business and lease the property to the incoming operator on a long-term lease, keeping the house as an income asset.

Can the buyer take over my licence?

No. Nevada guidance is that the facility licence may not be transferred to a new owner. The buyer applies for and obtains their own licence to operate the facility, and that timeline usually sets the closing date.

How long does the sale take?

Timing varies with preparation, buyer qualification, financing, diligence, and the buyer's licensing process. A realistic schedule is developed after those factors are reviewed.
