SLIB Closes Columbia, South Carolina Transaction
Bradley Clousing and Jason Punzel of Senior Living Investment Brokerage handled the sale of a senior living community in Columbia, South Carolina.

Helios Handles Houston-Area Portfolio Deal
A skilled nursing portfolio located around the Houston, Texas metro area with some operational and financial struggles found a new owner and operator with the help of the team at Helios Healthcare Advisors. Totaling 390 beds, these facilities were built in the last 10 years by the seller, a regional developer.
