Sell my care home
Selling a licensed care home requires a level of discretion, expertise, and regulatory understanding far beyond a traditional real estate transaction. As an SRES® Realtor and State‑certified RCFE Administrator, Debra Lowe provides a confidential, concierge‑level process designed specifically for owners of Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly and Assisted Living properties along the California Central Coast.
Debra delivers a full market analysis of both the real estate and the operating profile of the facility, ensuring owners understand current market conditions, buyer demand, and the unique valuation factors that apply to licensed care homes. All prospective buyers are pre‑screened and lender‑qualified before any tour is scheduled, protecting resident privacy and minimizing disruption to staff and daily operations.
From preparing the property, coordinating compliant showings, and managing Title 22 considerations to negotiating offers and guiding the transaction through due diligence and escrow, Debra provides a steady, experienced hand at every step. Her approach is calm, confidential, and designed to support owners who are transitioning out of the caregiving chapter of their lives.
After closing, Debra offers 30 days of complimentary consulting to assist with a smooth handoff between seller and buyer, ensuring continuity of care, operational clarity, and peace of mind. For owners seeking a trusted professional who understands both the business and the heart behind senior care, Debra Lowe delivers a dignified, seamless, and highly specialized selling experience.
