Seniors Housing Brokerage. Built on Relationships.

"After the vacated tenant left the property in a dilapidated condition, securing a new tenant became our immediate focus. Bill and his team not only secured a tenant willing to take on such a challenging assignment but also raised a considerable amount of funding from public funding sources to make the project financially viable. After going to market, tours were set up immediately, and preliminary terms were agreed upon with a tenant within 30 days."

"Bill had been following up with our team for years about selling our community. Whenever we asked about market conditions, he gave us genuine, no-nonsense feedback about what to expect. What stood out most was his depth of market knowledge and the extensive database of transactions that he and his team tracked. These data points were unlike anything we had publicly seen before and reflected how deeply entrenched in the market Bill's team truly was.

When we finally decided to sell, Bill and his team delivered, achieving our pricing goals and exceeding expectations throughout the process. This was a long transaction, but they were by our side every step of the way. As a locally-owned operator with extensive ties to our community, we don't buy and sell properties every day like a larger organization would. Bill gave us the confidence to move forward, guided us with patience and transparency, and ultimately helped us close a successful sale. He never missed a late-night call or an opportunity to educate our partners on what was happening behind the scenes. Even after the transaction closed, Bill continued following up to ensure all loose ends were tied up and operations were transferred smoothly and even helping our partnership from a tax planning standpoint.

What impressed us most was his integrity, even advising us to walk away when terms were not in our best interest. Unfortunately, that level of honesty and advocacy isn't something you always get from a broker."

"Decker has been an invaluable partner in financing our nursing homes and assisted living communities across California. Their deep market expertise, responsiveness, and ability to deliver rapid financing solutions have made them our first call for every transaction. They've set the benchmark for professionalism and results in healthcare real estate financing across the state."

"What stood out to us most about working with Decker Healthcare Group was their ability to create a real market for our assisted living and memory care community and bring qualified buyers to the table. One of our biggest concerns from the beginning was whether there would be enough interest from experienced senior housing operators willing to invest in a rural market. We were not looking for just any buyer. We wanted a buyer with relevant operating experience and the resources to continue serving our community.

Decker generated interest from multiple groups, including both in state and out of state providers, and introduced us to organizations with the experience and resources to operate a community like ours. Their process gave our board confidence that there was a market for the asset and ultimately helped us identify the buyer that best aligned with our objectives.

The reality is that Critical Access Hospitals operate under a unique reimbursement system. Because senior housing is generally treated as a non-allowable cost center, ownership of our community had a negative impact on the hospital's reimbursement structure. As financial pressures continue to increase across rural healthcare, we felt it was important to focus our resources and attention on the hospital's core mission of providing essential healthcare services.

Our board ultimately had to ask a difficult question: Are we best serving our community by continuing to own senior housing, or by focusing our resources on strengthening the hospital's core mission? It took years of education and analysis for our board to fully understand the financial impact of ownership and reach that conclusion. Throughout that period, Decker remained in regular communication with us, providing information, answering questions, and serving as a resource as our board worked through the decision.

As the transaction progressed, financing structures changed, lender requirements evolved, and challenges surfaced that could have easily derailed the process. What impressed us was Decker's ability to stay engaged, keep all parties moving forward, and continue finding solutions when obstacles arose.

Looking back, we do not view this as simply the sale of a senior living community. We view it as an important step toward strengthening the long-term future of our hospital while ensuring that an important resource for local seniors remains available in our community. We would recommend Decker Healthcare Group without hesitation to any hospital or healthcare organization seeking an experienced broker to navigate a complex transaction."

"Working with the Decker team was a great experience. They were knowledgeable, responsive, and brought a level of market experience that is difficult to find. Throughout the engagement, they took the time to understand our goals, provided honest and thoughtful advice, and were always available when questions arose.

Their professionalism, relationships, and understanding of the industry gave us confidence that we were receiving well-informed guidance every step of the way. We greatly appreciated their efforts and would gladly recommend them to others in the senior living industry."

"Bill's team has been a valuable resource for us over the years when evaluating investments and real estate opportunities in the long-term care and skilled nursing sectors.

Their market knowledge and thoughtful analysis have helped us make more informed decisions, and we've consistently viewed them as a valuable partner when evaluating potential transactions and other strategic alternatives involving our assets."
