SLIB Tops $1 Billion in Texas Transactions

SLIB Tops $1 Billion in Texas Transactions

Senior Living Investment Brokerage and Matthew Alley topped $1 billion in transaction volume in the state of Texas following the sale of a portfolio of four skilled nursing facilities.

And they added to the positive energy in the room, overcoming some worried chatter about the Middle East, oil’s impact on inflation and the recent surge in the 10-Year Treasury Rate. There are plenty of deals, big and small, going around, leaving us more confident that we will break another M&A record in 2026. What we also left Nashville more confident about, which surprised...
