Sell Your RCFE or Assisted Living Property With Confidence
Work With California’s Leading RCFE & Assisted Living Real Estate and Business Broker
If you own a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) or assisted living property in California and are considering selling—whether it’s the real estate only, the business and real estate together, or a licensed property with limited operating history—who you choose to represent you will directly impact your outcome.
RCFE transactions are not traditional real estate sales. They require specialized knowledge of licensing, valuation, financing, regulatory risk, and buyer qualification. This is why owners throughout California work with Matthew Hustad of The Hustad Group when it’s time to bring an RCFE to market.
RCFE & Assisted Living Sale Scenarios We Specialize In
Matthew Hustad represents sellers across the full spectrum of RCFE and assisted living transactions, including:
-
RCFE real estate and business sold together
-
RCFE real estate sold without an operating business
-
Businesses operating under 24 months
-
RCFEs with 5, 10, or 30+ years of operating history
-
Properties recently modified and awaiting licensure
-
Homes that have just received an RCFE license but have no census
-
Licensed RCFE properties offered with a lease and operating business
-
Previously licensed homes being repositioned for sale or lease
Each scenario requires a different pricing strategy, buyer pool, marketing approach, and transaction structure. Treating these assets like standard residential properties often results in lost value, failed escrows, or unnecessary legal exposure.
Why RCFE Owners Do NOT Work With Traditional Real Estate Agents
Most residential agents lack experience with:
-
RCFE license transfers and change-of-ownership requirements
-
Business valuation versus real estate valuation
-
Regulatory and post-closing liability exposure
-
Buyer due diligence specific to assisted living operations
-
Financing realities for RCFE properties
RCFE buyers are sophisticated. They understand cash flow, staffing models, care levels, and regulatory risk. Sellers need representation that speaks the same language.

This approach casts a wide net while targeting only qualified buyers, increasing competition and maximizing sale price.
✔ Buyer Financial Prequalification
One of the most common reasons RCFE escrows fail is buyer financing. Matthew’s financial background allows him to:
-
Prequalify buyers before offers are accepted
-
Identify capital and underwriting weaknesses early
-
Align buyers with lenders who can actually perform
Over 99% of lenders cannot properly underwrite RCFE properties. Matthew works with the few who can.
✔ Seller Protection After Closing
RCFE transactions don’t end at escrow. Licensing transfers, operational transitions, and post-closing obligations must be clearly outlined. Matthew structures agreements that:
-
Minimize seller liability
-
Clearly define post-close responsibilities
-
Provide sellers with confidence and peace of mind
