Selling Your Practice and Real Estate Together: Key Benefits and Real-Life Scenarios

If you’re a healthcare professional thinking about selling your practice — and you also own the building it operates in — you may be wondering whether it makes sense to sell them together.
In many cases, the answer is yes — and here’s why. 

Flexible Deal Structures

Bundling your practice with the real estate opens the door to creative deal structures.
For example, a buyer might lease the property first with the option to buy later, giving you more ways to appeal to different types of buyers and broaden your potential market. 

Tax and Financing Advantages

Selling both assets together can make the numbers work in your favor.
You may be able to allocate the purchase price strategically to achieve tax efficiency, while buyers often benefit from longer amortization periods on real estate loans. 

This combination can make financing easier — and your overall deal more attractive. 

Emotional and Market Premiums

There’s real value in ownership.
Buyers often pay a premium for the stability and pride of owning their own building.
By combining the practice and the property, you create a turnkey opportunity that can command a higher overall sale price. 

Real-Life Scenarios 

The Retiring Doctor 

Dr. Smith was ready to retire and wanted a smooth transition.
By selling both his practice and the building, he attracted a buyer who valued the stability of a ready-to-go solution — and was willing to pay more for it. 

The Young Buyer 

A younger dentist was eager to buy but worried about affordability.
By including the real estate, they secured favorable financing terms that made the purchase not only manageable but also financially strategic. 

The Turnkey Seeker 

Another buyer was laser-focused on finding a fully equipped, operational practice.
Owning both the practice and the building from day one allowed them to hit the ground running with no delays.
