Melton Advisors is a senior-led firm consulting and advising automotive dealer principals exclusively on real estate strategy, capital, and M&A.

With more than 40 years of firsthand dealership experience, Melton Advisors consults and advises automotive dealer principals nationwide — typically long before a transaction or growth decision is on the table. We work across real estate strategy, sale-leasebacks, build-to-suit, facility decisions, capital structure, and M&A — so dealers understand exactly how each decision affects performance and enterprise value. The goal is never urgency — it is clarity, preparation, and leverage.

"We bring together real estate advisory, capital strategy, and transaction expertise so dealers move from a position of strength. That means real operating perspective and disciplined consulting on the decisions that matter most." — David Melton, Founder, Melton Advisors
