SLB’s: Accessing Capital While Maintaining Control

For many Montana dealers, the real estate supporting their operations is one of their most valuable assets—yet it is often tied up and inaccessible. Pointe Automotive helps unlock this value through professionally structured sale-leaseback transactions that allow dealers to convert property equity into usable capital while continuing to operate from the same location.

A sale-leaseback enables the dealer to sell the real estate at market value and lease it back under favorable long-term terms. This transaction provides liquidity that can be reinvested in inventory, store upgrades, business expansion, or estate planning—all without incurring additional debt or interrupting day-to-day operations. Our team tailors each agreement to reflect the dealer’s unique business model, ensuring financial flexibility and operational continuity.

Real Estate Advisory for Dealership Transitions

Ownership transitions in the auto retail industry are becoming increasingly complex, especially when real estate is involved. Whether you're acquiring a new location, merging operations, or selling a legacy dealership, Pointe Automotive offers specialized M&A support that ensures the real estate component of the transaction is structured for maximum value and efficiency.

We work with both buyers and sellers to evaluate the dealership’s real property, identify strategic structuring options, and ensure that leases, valuations, and bifurcation strategies align with the transaction’s financial goals. Our advisory services are designed to reduce friction during negotiations, support clean transitions, and protect the long-term interests of both parties. In Montana’s diverse dealership landscape—where metro and rural dynamics often intersect—our insights ensure that no detail is overlooked and every opportunity is captured.

Monetizing Non-Core and Surplus Real Estate

Over time, some dealership properties may become underutilized or no longer align with the operator’s long-term strategy. Whether due to brand realignment, consolidation, or changing market conditions, divesting surplus real estate can free up capital and allow dealers to focus on higher-performing assets. Pointe Automotive provides full-service disposition solutions designed to maximize value and streamline the sale process.

We begin with a comprehensive evaluation of the property’s market potential and develop a tailored marketing strategy to attract the right buyers. From automotive users to developers and investors, we leverage our extensive network to ensure competitive market exposure and qualified interest. Our team handles every aspect of the sale, including pricing guidance, buyer engagement, negotiations, and transaction management, all with a focus on maintaining confidentiality and minimizing disruption to your operations.
