Child Care Business Broker | M&A and Commercial Real Estate Advisor

Company
Insite Commercial Real Estate Advisors

San Diego, California

Child Care Insite is a specialized business brokerage and commercial real estate advisory firm focused on privately owned child care centers, preschools, Montessori schools, and their underlying real estate.

We represent owners in business-only sales, real estate sales, and combined transactions involving both the operating business and property. Our work integrates business valuation, real estate analysis, buyer qualification, financing structure, licensing considerations, due diligence, and closing coordination into one cohesive process.

We prepare professional offering materials, communicate the opportunity clearly, and manage the sale from initial valuation through closing.

About

We specialize in helping owners of child care centers and assisted living facilities sell both their business and real estate together: for maximum value, minimal disruption, and the right buyer fit.

We know that for most owners, your facility isn’t just an asset, it’s a life’s work. Whether you’ve built your center from scratch or taken over from a prior owner, we understand what’s at stake when it comes time to exit.

Unlike most brokers who only handle one side of the equation, we've built a firm to handle both:
-We position your business for maximum SDE/EBITDA performance and buyer appeal
-We evaluate your real estate using relevant comps and highest-use positioning
-We combine both in a unified marketing strategy that attracts premium buyers: not just bottom-feeders looking for a deal

We’ve personally walked facilities, sat with owners, reviewed licensing records, helped solve staffing issues, and even run day-to-day operations when needed to understand exactly what’s being sold. Our buyers aren’t just buying numbers, they’re buying continuity, legacy, and opportunity.

We’ve helped retiring owners, burnt-out operators, out-of-town landlords, family trusts, and everyone in between. Whether you're ready to list tomorrow or just want to talk strategy for a few years down the road, we are here to help guide the way.

Affiliations
  • I am a California commercial real estate broker and owner of Child Care Insite, a brokerage and market-intelligence firm dedicated to the child care industry. My experience includes owning and operating a child care center, advising owners on valuation and exit strategy, and closing dozens of transactions involving operating businesses, commercial real estate, leases, SBA financing, seller financing, and complex ownership transitions. That operating and transaction experience allows me to evaluate more than the financial statements. I understand how enrollment, tuition, staffing, licensing, facility condition, lease control, management dependence, and real estate affect value and buyer confidence. A child care sale is rarely as simple as applying a multiple to earnings. The business, property, financing, licensing, and transition plan must work together. I help owners identify the risks that could reduce value or delay closing, position the opportunity for qualified buyers, and manage the transaction through due diligence and escrow. My clients include retiring owners, multi-site operators, family partnerships, trusts, absentee owners, and operators planning several years ahead. Whether an owner is ready to sell now or is still evaluating the right timing, the first step is understanding the business’s defensible value, likely buyer pool, financing limitations, and the practical path to a successful exit.
