Selling your property
The right sale strategy starts with three owner questions: what could the property achieve, who is likely to buy it, and what could prevent the sale from closing.
Review comparable transactions and competing properties where reliable evidence is available, alongside tenancy, net income, condition, permitted use and possession. Separate the real estate from practice goodwill and equipment. A previous fit-out cost is not a sale-price estimate.
A vacant medical or dental condominium may suit an incoming practitioner. A tenanted medical building may suit an investor. Identify the audience before deciding whether to retain tenancy, undertake work or change the presentation.
Agree on purchaser qualification, document release and showings around the needs of the operating clinic and any existing tenancy.
Send the property address, occupancy and preferred timing. Gary will discuss likely buyer groups, the evidence needed to assess pricing, preparation priorities and whether public or confidential marketing fits. Detailed research, deliverables and representation terms are agreed before proceeding.
Property facts to review
Parking, visibility, accessibility, surrounding uses, zoning and matters requiring municipal confirmation.
Layout, plumbing, electrical service, HVAC and reusable improvements. Review condominium rules, signage, parking rights and renovation approvals where relevant.
Leases, rent, expenses, renewal rights and obligations where relevant, alongside your preferred outcome and occupancy requirements. Tenanted premises may suit investors; vacant space may appeal to healthcare owner-users, depending on permitted use and physical suitability.
Historical construction costs do not automatically translate into sale value. Market positioning should reflect comparable evidence, competing properties and the likely buyer or tenant audience.
Discuss your property with Gary Paul
Speak directly with Gary about your property and timing. Identify pricing evidence needed, likely owner-user or investor interest, and the preparation issues to address first.
The next step is to identify missing information and discuss whether targeted confidential outreach or public marketing suits your timing. No public listing is required to start the conversation.
This preliminary review is not an appraisal and does not commit you to listing.

Occupancy changes who can use the property and how purchasers assess it. Review the existing lease and your timing before deciding whether to pursue an investor, an owner-user or both.
| Decision | Vacant premises | Tenanted premises |
|---|---|---|
| Potential audience | Healthcare owner-users seeking possession, or investors willing to carry vacancy and lease-up risk. | Investors assessing the income and tenancy; owner-users only where their possession needs can be accommodated. |
| Evidence that matters | Permitted use, layout, condition, reusable improvements, ongoing costs and realistic occupancy timing. | Executed leases and amendments, income and expenses, term, options, deposits and repair obligations. |
| Clinical improvements | Show what another operator could realistically reuse and what may require removal or replacement. | Clarify ownership of improvements and equipment, maintenance obligations and end-of-term requirements. |
| Timing and disclosure | Document access, holding costs and what can be shared with qualified purchasers. | Plan document release and showings around tenancy obligations and clinic operations. |
| Main assumption to test | That an incoming operator will pay for the previous clinic’s fit-out. | That the reported income, lease rights and tenant obligations support the proposed investor positioning. |
Do not create vacancy merely to widen the buyer pool. First compare the evidence, carrying costs, existing obligations and likely purchaser requirements. Obtain legal advice before making commitments about possession or changing a tenancy.
Keep the property sale separate from any sale of clinic equipment or an operating practice. No patient information is needed for an initial real estate review.
From preparation to negotiation
The scope and marketing plan are agreed with you before a listing assignment begins.
Organize tenancy, condominium and property records. Identify which clinic improvements a purchaser could reuse and which issues need investigation before launch.
Review relevant sales and competing offerings where available. Match the asking-price strategy to the property’s income, condition, possession and likely purchasers.
Agree on public or confidential exposure, listing channels and direct outreach to suitable buyers and other registrants. Review intended use, financial capacity and timing before arranging sensitive disclosures and showings.
Compare price, conditions, deposits and closing terms. Negotiate on your behalf and coordinate access, document requests and due-diligence deadlines with the parties and your legal counsel.
Selected healthcare assignments

Seller representation · Kitchener · Business sale
Approached dental operators in the surrounding area and completed an off-market sale with a short closing period and no financing condition.

Confidentiality and your next step
Discuss what can be disclosed, to whom and at what stage. Depending on the assignment, the approach may include targeted outreach, qualified introductions, confidentiality agreements, controlled document release and private showings.
Confidential marketing limits exposure. Balance privacy with reaching suitable buyers and creating competition.
Clarify the objective.Discuss selling, leasing, retaining ownership or exploring a premises transition.
Review the property information.Floor plans, leases, a rent roll, expenses, condominium information and improvement records may be relevant.
Agree on the next step.Further investigation, a positioning discussion or a proposed marketing assignment.
Start the conversation
Start with your contact details, the property location and your main question. Phone, property type, size and timing are optional.
Please avoid submitting sensitive business or patient information. An operating clinic, equipment, goodwill and professional licences require separate consideration with the appropriate advisors.
Before you inquire
Discuss the property and your disclosure concerns before deciding whether to proceed.
Value depends on location, permitted use, condition, size, tenancy, income and the available purchaser audience. Relevant sales and competing offerings help test the positioning. Specialized clinic improvements may help a compatible operator but do not automatically add their original cost to the price. Start with a property-specific sale discussion; obtain a formal appraisal where one is required.
Yes. Start with a private discussion about your objectives and disclosure concerns. Before marketing proceeds, agree on how information, inquiries and showings will be handled.
They may help when another operator can reuse them. Condition, layout, compliance and intended use matter. Specialized improvements can also create removal or conversion costs for other buyers. Avoid removing them before considering marketability.
Yes. The lease, income, remaining term, tenant obligations and building condition influence the buyer audience. A tenanted investment and premises available for owner occupancy require different positioning.
That depends on ownership, your objectives and the likely audience. Real estate, equipment, goodwill, professional licences and patient records must be addressed separately with the relevant advisors.
No. It is a preliminary conversation about the property and possible next steps. Submitting an inquiry does not create a listing agreement or require you to proceed. Legal, tax, appraisal, planning and technical advice should come from the appropriate qualified professionals.
