About the project
The platform is a unique marketplace for sellers to remain confidential and for buyers to expand their reach to on & off-market nursing homes and assisted living facilities for sale. Buyers are able to use the 1Konnection platform to make deals they normally would not have the ability to get access to.
Likewise, sellers/owners can come to the platform and confidentially list their businesses to be matched with potential buyers. The 1Konnection platform will perform the matching between buyers and owners and let them negotiate the deal online. If the match is made, the 1Konnection platform will be paid a buyer’s referral fee after closing the deal.
There are three main personas in the industry for the acquisition marketplace: buyers, sellers, and brokers. Industry decision-makers фку both buyers & sellers. Like other real estate industries, seniors housing real estate is a complex transaction and it often entails having a broker represent the seller to find the right buyer and facilitate a deal.
Due to the confidentiality and fragmentation of the industry, buyers lack access to deal opportunities and often miss out on deals they would have purchased. Today, brokers are a necessity to help facilitate the process. However, brokers are overwhelmed and operate highly manually so they are unable to scale and actually have to turn away deals because they are only paid upon the close of transactions.
