Senior Living Investment Brokerage

What Senior Living Investment Brokerage does

Senior Living Investment Brokerage (SLIB, d/b/a SLIB Real Estate) is a privately-held boutique real estate brokerage founded in 1997 and headquartered in Wheaton, Illinois, with a secondary office in Webster Groves (St. Louis), Missouri. The firm provides transaction advisory services to sellers of seniors housing and long-term care communities across 31 U.S. states, covering the full care spectrum: assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, independent living, continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs), 55+ active adult communities, and hospice/home health. Since inception, SLIB has completed over 1,800 property transactions representing more than $10.5 billion in cumulative transaction volume, with 400+ transactions closed over the most recent five-year period.

SLIB's go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with no proprietary technology platform; competitive differentiation rests on nearly 30 years of cultivated buyer and seller relationships, deep regional expertise (organized by U.S. territory through senior managing directors), and active rather than passive marketing of seller mandates. The firm handles every phase of the transaction lifecycle from initial negotiation through due diligence, financing coordination, and closing, with confidentiality as a central value proposition. Revenue is generated exclusively through brokerage commissions on completed transactions, with fees negotiated on a per-assignment basis depending on property type, transaction size, and complexity.

The firm operates as a private partnership led by senior managing directors (including founding-era partner Jeff Binder since 2003) supported by a team of approximately 30+ professionals spanning managing directors, vice presidents, analysts, transaction coordinators, and marketing staff. Recent strategic activity (2024-2026) emphasizes capacity expansion through new hires in the Western and Southeastern U.S., expansion of the service spectrum into active adult and hospice/home health verticals, and deeper content marketing presence in target metros such as Salt Lake City, Boise, and Portland.

Core offering

SLIB provides full-service investment brokerage for sellers of seniors housing and long-term care communities. The firm represents owners of assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, independent living, CCRC, 55+ active adult, and hospice/home health properties, managing every step of the transaction from initial negotiation through due diligence, financing coordination, and closing. Services are delivered with strict confidentiality and include active marketing of assignments rather than passive listings.

Product overview

Senior Living Investment Brokerage (SLIB) operates as a single, unified brokerage service rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture. The company's primary offering is its transaction advisory service for seniors housing and long-term care communities, encompassing assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, independent living, CCRCs, active adult communities, and hospice/home health. SLIB's service model is built around three pillars: Total Confidentiality (discretion throughout the sales process), Commitment to Marketing (active promotion rather than passive listings), and Building a Nationwide Network (relationships with buyers and sellers across the industry). The company does not offer modular products or distinct service tiers; rather, it provides comprehensive advisory services that cover the full transaction lifecycle for sellers of senior living properties.
