Sale-Leasebacks 101: Maximize Your Assets

Sale-Leaseback Advisory for Automotive Dealerships

Pointe Automotive is a national leader in sale-leaseback advisory services for automotive dealerships and auto dealers. We specialize in helping franchised and independent dealers unlock the equity embedded in their real estate while preserving full operational control of their dealerships. Our advisory approach is designed to strengthen balance sheets, improve liquidity, and position dealerships for long-term growth, acquisitions, or future exit strategies.

Whether you are a single-point dealer owning your facility, a multi-rooftop dealer group consolidating capital, or an ownership group preparing for expansion or succession, Pointe Automotive structures sale-leaseback transactions that align with OEM requirements, operational objectives, and enterprise value goals. With decades of dealership-specific experience and access to a national investor network, we help dealers convert illiquid real estate into strategic working capital—without disrupting day-to-day operations.

Sale-Leaseback Capital Solutions for Auto Dealers

A dealership sale-leaseback allows owners to sell their real estate to an institutional or private investor and lease it back under a long-term, triple-net (NNN) structure. Pointe Automotive designs dealer-focused sale-leaseback solutions that maximize valuation while protecting operational flexibility.

🔴 Equity Unlocking – Convert owned land and facilities into immediate capital for inventory growth, acquisitions, debt reduction, or shareholder liquidity
🔴 Long-Term Operational Control – Structured NNN leases that preserve dealership operations and OEM compliance
🔴 Balance Sheet Optimization – Improve liquidity ratios and return on invested capital
🔴 Predictable Occupancy Costs – Fixed lease terms that support long-term planning and stability

Whether tied to growth initiatives or strategic planning, Pointe Automotive ensures each sale-leaseback is executed with both real estate and dealership enterprise value in mind.
