What we do

A brokerage built for childcare real estate — and nothing else.

We specialize in childcare and early-education properties: sale-leasebacks, net-lease (NNN) investments, and ground-up site acquisition. It's all we do, which means we know the operators, the buyers, and the numbers better than a generalist ever could.

"I've sat in your chair. That's the difference."

Meet Alan

Three decades. One niche. Yours.

For 18 years I owned and operated two childcare centers — I lived the enrollment swings, the staffing, the lease negotiations, the day a family walks through the door for the first time.

Since then I've spent my career on the other side of the table: developing, buying, selling, and renegotiating childcare real estate across the country. When you work with me, you're not handing your life's work to a generalist. You're handing it to someone who's built what you've built.

The buyer network
2,800+childcare & net-lease investors in our network

Your buyer is already in our network.

We maintain a network of 2,800+ childcare and net-lease investors — the funds, family offices, and 1031 buyers who actively acquire early-education assets. When you list with us, your property goes to a qualified audience that's already looking for exactly what you have — not a cold MLS post and a hope.

For sale-leaseback sellers, that's the whole game: matching your asset to the right capital, quickly and confidentially.

Why owners & operators work with us

Specialists, not generalists.

01 / Focus

Specialists, not generalists

Childcare real estate has its own rules — enrollment economics, licensing, ground-lease structures, franchise approvals. We speak that language with both sides of the table.

02 / Network

A real buyer pool

Our network of 2,800+ childcare and net-lease investors means listings reach motivated, qualified capital — not the open market.

03 / Speed

Built to move fast

We screen entire trade areas, not just the obvious parcels, and match buyers to deals in days rather than weeks — answers faster, backed by data.

04 / People

A family operation

We're a hands-on, owner-led brokerage. You work directly with the people running your deal — start to close.
