Clousing Arranges Second Savannah Sale This Year

Clousing Arranges Second Savannah Sale This Year

Closing his second senior living transaction in Savannah this year, Brad Clousing of Senior Living Investment Brokerage sold a large senior living community located just 10 minutes away from the historic center downtown. Built in 1986 and 1998, the 209-unit community features a majority of independent living units (146), but assisted living and memory care rooms too.
