Real Estate Advisory: Unlocking & Protecting Property Value

For many auto service center owners, real estate represents a significant—often overlooked—portion of total net worth. Melton Advisors provides specialized Automotive Real Estate Advisory to ensure property decisions support transaction outcomes, capital strategy, and long-term ownership goals.

We advise owners on how real estate ownership, lease structure, and facility condition influence valuation, buyer appetite, financing, and exit flexibility.

Our Real Estate Advisory Services Include:

🟡 Owned real estate valuation and market positioning
🟡 Sale-leaseback analysis and execution support
🟡 Lease structuring and rent alignment for transactions
🟡 Facility and site risk review impacting valuation and financing
🟡 Real estate strategy for acquisitions, recapitalizations, and exits

By integrating real estate strategy directly into the M&A process, we help owners avoid value leakage, improve deal certainty, and maximize total transaction proceeds.
