Automotive Dealers and Principals

Real Estate and Capital Advisory for Dealer Principals

Pointe Automotive serves automotive dealers nationwide as a trusted real estate and capital advisor. We work with franchised dealer principals and dealer groups to help them make informed decisions around real estate, capital structure, and long-term value—well before a transaction forces those decisions.

Our role is advisory-first. We do not lead with selling the dealership. Instead, we begin where the greatest leverage typically exists for dealers: real estate and capital strategy. From there, we support growth, reinvestment, and—when appropriate—ownership transitions.

Whether you operate a single-point store or a multi-rooftop platform, Pointe Automotive provides clarity around the assets and decisions that most directly impact liquidity, control, and enterprise value.

How We Work With Automotive Dealers

Auto dealers face capital-intensive decisions throughout the life of their business—facility upgrades, OEM image requirements, expansion, refinancing, partner changes, and eventual exit planning. Pointe Automotive helps dealers navigate these moments with a coordinated real estate and capital strategy.

Our advisory process is designed to:

🔴 Protect operational flexibility
🔴 Unlock trapped real estate equity
🔴 Align rent, cap rates, and valuation
🔴 Preserve options for future growth or transition

We work collaboratively with dealers, their CPAs, attorneys, lenders, and OEM contacts to ensure decisions are deliberate, well-structured, and aligned with long-term objectives.

Real Estate Advisory & Strategy

Dealership real estate is often a dealer’s most valuable asset. We help owners evaluate and optimize how that real estate supports the business.

🔴 Owned real estate analysis and valuation
🔴 Rent structure and cap-rate alignment review
🔴 Facility footprint and long-term site strategy
🔴 Real estate bifurcation planning
🔴 Control, flexibility, and future optionality analysis

Sale-Leaseback & Capital Advisory

For many dealers, significant equity is tied up in real estate. We help unlock that capital while maintaining operational control.

🔴 Sale-leaseback structuring for dealership properties
🔴 Liquidity planning and balance-sheet optimization
🔴 Investor alignment and lease-term structuring
🔴 1031 exchange advisory when applicable
🔴 Capital redeployment and reinvestment strategy

M&A Support (When and If It Arises)

We do not lead with M&A—but when ownership discussions surface, we are already positioned to support them intelligently.

🔴 Pre-transaction real estate and capital readiness
🔴 Advisory support for partial or full dealership exits
🔴 Guidance when a dealer has already initiated a transaction
🔴 Coordination with buyers, investors, and professional advisors
🔴 Ensuring real estate decisions enhance—not dilute—enterprise value
