SLB’s: Unlocking Capital While Preserving Operational Control

Many automotive dealers in Washington own highly valuable real estate, but the equity in those properties often remains untapped. Pointe Automotive specializes in sale-leaseback transactions that convert that equity into working capital, allowing dealers to reinvest in their business without giving up operational control. Through this structure, the dealership sells its property at market value and leases it back under long-term terms that ensure uninterrupted business continuity.

This approach provides liquidity that can be used for acquisitions, facility upgrades, debt reduction, or succession planning, all while keeping the dealership fully operational. A sale-leaseback can provide the financial flexibility needed to grow and adapt in Washington’s fast-moving and competitive markets, especially in areas like King, Snohomish, and Pierce counties. Each transaction is customized to reflect the dealership’s strategic goals and structured to maintain alignment between ownership and operational priorities.

Strategic Real Estate Advisory for Dealership Transitions

The auto dealership landscape in Washington continues to evolve through consolidation, generational change, and regional expansion. Whether you’re acquiring additional stores or planning for a future sale, Pointe Automotive provides specialized M&A support that focuses on the real estate elements of your transaction. Our role is to ensure that property valuations, lease terms, and transaction structures are all aligned to support a seamless and value-maximizing deal.

We work with buyers and sellers to evaluate the real estate associated with the business, identify the best strategy for bifurcation or leaseback if needed, and assist in structuring the deal in a way that complements the operational and financial objectives of both parties. From high-profile metro dealerships to single-point rural stores, we tailor our services to fit the unique dynamics of each market and ownership structure. Our advisory services are grounded in experience and designed to simplify the complex nature of dealership real estate during transactions.

Maximizing Returns from Non-Core or Legacy Properties

Dealers often reach a point where certain properties no longer align with their core operations. Whether it's a facility from a discontinued brand, an underperforming location, or excess land no longer required for business expansion, Pointe Automotive offers full-service disposition support to help dealers realize the highest possible value from their surplus real estate.

Our process begins with a comprehensive market analysis to determine the property's best use and positioning. We then develop a marketing strategy designed to reach targeted buyers—developers, investors, or commercial users—with the intent of achieving maximum value and minimal time on market. Throughout the process, we manage the transaction from initial outreach through closing, ensuring confidentiality, smooth negotiations, and results that meet the dealer’s financial and strategic expectations.
