Strategic Real Estate Solutions for Auto Dealerships

Navigating a merger or acquisition in the automotive dealership industry requires careful financial structuring, strategic planning, and a deep understanding of the transaction's business and real estate components. Pointe Automotive plays a crucial role in this process by underwriting the real estate portion of an acquisition, allowing dealers and investors to focus fully on evaluating the operational business.

By leveraging our dealership real estate investment expertise, Pointe Automotive helps operators structure transactions that lower capital investment, increase returns, and expand acquisition opportunities. Whether acquiring a single dealership, a multi-store platform or restructuring for long-term financial efficiency, our strategic advisory services ensure dealers maximize value while minimizing risk.

Maximizing Returns When Selling a Dealership

When selling a dealership, structuring the transaction correctly is key to maximizing sale proceeds. Pointe Automotive helps sellers achieve the highest valuation by separating the sale of dealership operations from its real estate assets. This approach, known as bifurcation, creates a more attractive investment opportunity for potential buyers.

Key advantages of bifurcating the sale include:

• Reducing the cost of entry for buyers, making the dealership more accessible to a wider range of investors.

• Attracting different buyer profiles, including those focused solely on dealership operations and those looking for income-producing real estate investments.

• Selling the business and real estate separately often increases the overall sale proceeds, resulting in a higher total transaction value.

Pointe Automotive helps dealers exit the market with the greatest possible financial return by structuring transactions to optimize both business and real estate value.

Expanding Acquisition Opportunities for Dealership Operators

Strategic real estate solutions can significantly increase the number of available acquisition targets for dealers looking to expand their footprint. By working with Pointe Automotive, operators can pursue acquisitions that might have otherwise been capital-restrictive.

Our solutions help dealers:

• Identify and acquire off-market opportunities through our extensive industry network.

• Structure sale-leaseback agreements that unlock capital while ensuring continued facility control.

• Optimize portfolio expansion through flexible real estate financing strategies.

With a tailored acquisition approach, Pointe Automotive ensures operators can seize growth opportunities while maintaining financial stability.
