SLIB Closes Jacksonville SNF Sale
Bradley Clousing and Daniel Geraghty of Senior Living Investment Brokerage sold a 120-bed skilled nursing facility in Jacksonville, Florida. They represented the long-time not-for-profit owner/operator that had run into operational difficulty after the pandemic. As is typical of a not-for-profit operation, some expenses could be trimmed, but occupancy could also improve. The 1970s-era building was in decent shape after numerous physical plant improvements over the years, with only private and semiprivate rooms. A national owner emerged as the buyer and brought on a Florida operator to oversee the facility’s turnaround. No price was disclosed. Earlier in the fourth quarter, Mr. Clousing... Read More »

60 Seconds With Swett: M&A Market Limps to Record Annual Total
We’re in a new year but a number of brokers and lenders may wish we were still in 2022. That is because many of them really made hay when the sun was shining (that sun being the lower interest rates of the first half of the year) and propelled us to a record M&A year, by some margin. After the previous record of 455 transactions in 2021, we have so far tallied 527 deals announced in 2022, a 16% increase year over year. We expect a few more 2022 deals to trickle in, but we did not experience the normal end-of-December rush of closings, except from a couple of brokerages. In fact, only 36 deals were made public during the month. That’s a solid number to end 2022 and similar to the... Read More »
