Selling Your Care Home:
What to Expect
A Thoughtful Guide to the Sales Process
Deciding to sell your care home is rarely a simple choice. It’s more than a business transaction—it’s the culmination of years of dedication, compassion, and investment. At RCFE Resource, we understand the emotional weight behind this decision. That’s why we approach every sale with empathy, discretion, and a commitment to maximizing the value of your legacy.
Our team combines deep expertise in real estate, finance, accounting, and marketing to guide you through each step. While every transaction is unique, here’s what you can generally expect when partnering with us:
Preparation & Strategic Analysis
Before we go to market, we take time to understand your goals and tailor a strategy that fits your needs.
Whether you prefer a discreet, targeted outreach or a broader campaign, our marketing plans are
customized to reflect your priorities.
- Access our exclusive database of qualified buyers actively seeking senior and adult residential care homes.
- Receive expert recommendations to enhance your property’s value—always optional, always in your control.
- Benefit from our insights on timing, pricing, and positioning to attract the right buyer.
Marketing & Buyer Engagement
Once you’re ready, we launch a comprehensive marketing plan designed around your timeline, price expectations, and privacy preferences. We never lock clients into long-term contracts—our goal is a win-win for everyone involved.
- Property and business listing agreements are signed.
- Offers may come as Letters of Intent (LOIs) or formal purchase agreements.
- We vet each buyer thoroughly and walk you through the pros and cons of every offer.
- Once an offer is accepted, we enter the Due Diligence phase.
Due Diligence Period
This is the buyer’s opportunity to verify all aspects of the business and property. It typically lasts 17 days or more, depending on the facility’s size.
- Buyers deposit funds into escrow and begin reviewing financials, inspecting the property, and conducting third-party evaluations (e.g., appraisals).
- If discrepancies arise—such as lower-than-expected revenues or valuation concerns—the buyer may renegotiate or withdraw without penalty.
- Once due diligence concludes, the buyer’s deposit becomes non-refundable, and we move toward closing.
Closing the Transaction
The final stage is about tying up loose ends and ensuring a smooth handoff.
- All documents are signed and notarized.
- The buyer wires remaining funds to escrow.
- The deed is recorded with the county, officially transferring ownership.
- Escrow closes, and proceeds are distributed to you.
