TAMPA, Fla., Dec. 6, 2017 – The executive team of a national healthcare system wanted to sell a medical office building portfolio in central Florida, but the executives were wary of the process because of challenges with some of their previous asset sales. What should they do, they wondered, to avoid the mistakes of the past and ensure they have a successful closing on the Florida properties?
A new, comprehensive white paper dealing with this topic is now available from Carter Validus Advisors II LLC (“Carter Validus”), the external advisor to Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT II Inc., entitled “How to Bulletproof Your Asset Sale – Keys to Success.” The white paper includes important issues to consider for any sale of healthcare assets, along with proven processes for managing those issues that Carter Validus experts have learned from four decades of working with sellers and buyers. Following is a summary of the white paper, which was written by Alex Stacy, Chief Acquisition Officer, Healthcare, Carter Validus.
Focus on important initial strategies
For major transactions, it is most important to carefully plan and implement the initial strategies. First, the seller, the prospective buyer and their intermediaries should understand all parties’ interests and expectations and have a clear vision for how the transaction will play out. Second, each party should determine the value it brings to the transaction. Finally, the parties should determine what resources and expertise they’re missing and be open to bringing in others with the needed resources to close the gaps, add value and build the relationship.
Honest, up-front communication is key
It is essential for all parties to identify potentially serious issues early and to have honest, open conversations about those issues and how they will be resolved.
Thorough property and tenant due diligence are a must
It is important for the buyer to conduct extensive due diligence on the properties they are considering to acquire so there are no misunderstandings or surprises that delay the process. In fact, many buyers and sellers find it helpful to prepare a comprehensive checklist of all important issues they need to discuss and/or examine, and check off each item when they have completed the review.
Bring in the experts
The healthcare sector has changed rapidly during the past few years and become increasingly complex, and so have healthcare providers’ real estate and acquisition needs. That’s why it is more important than ever to consider working with a professional real estate firm that can provide specialized knowledge and expertise in the acquisition process. To select an appropriate firm, there are certain key questions that should be asked (which are detailed in the white paper).
Summary: Don’t lose sight of the ultimate goal – a successful close
Nobody wants to experience delays in their closing. However, inevitably, most extensions are the result of the seller and buyer not communicating openly and honestly and having candid conversations up front. Sometimes the seller and buyer come to an impasse and get trapped in a win-lose scenario because they lost sight of the ultimate goal: to close. They should try to understand and solve complex issues before they become true “deal breakers” and be creative with solutions that will help them reach the best alternative or common vision. This will ensure that each closing is efficient, on time and successful.
