What exactly do you do when you sell my business?

Everything. We start by commissioning a certified valuation so your price is defensible, then we prepare your financials and confidential marketing package, get the listing positioned for SBA financing, quietly market it to vetted buyers, negotiate offers, and manage due diligence, financing, and closing. You keep running your business. We run the sale.

Why does a certified valuation matter so much?

Because it's what keeps your deal alive. For every business we represent, we commission a certified valuation from an independent NACVA-credentialed appraiser. We don't prepare it ourselves, and we never guess. That independent, defensible number is what makes your asking price stand up to buyers, banks, attorneys, and the IRS, makes your listing SBA-ready, and keeps your sale from collapsing in due diligence.

What kinds of businesses do you work with?

Profitable, established businesses with real, provable cash flow, across virtually every industry. We sell healthy going concerns at full value. We don't handle asset liquidations or distressed fire-sales.

What if my business isn't profitable yet?

Then selling probably isn't the right move yet. Growing is. We can help you build a stronger, more valuable business first.

How does SBA pre-qualification help me sell?

It lets qualified buyers acquire your business with as little as 10% down, which expands your buyer pool, creates more competition, and improves your odds of a clean close. (Pre-qualification is a preliminary lender assessment, not a financing guarantee.)

Is my information kept confidential?

Completely. We market discreetly to vetted buyers under NDA. Your employees, customers, and competitors won't know your business is for sale.

Where do you operate?

We're based in El Paso and we represent businesses across all of Texas.

How much is my property management company worth?

Contracted portfolios commonly trade between roughly 3 and 5 times owner's discretionary earnings, cross-checked against value per door and revenue multiples. Contract assignability, owner churn, fee income per door, and staff depth determine where you land. Only a certified independent valuation survives a lender's underwriting.

Will part of my price be held back against owner churn?

Frequently. Many PM transactions include an adjustment or escrow if owners leave within a defined window, so how churn is measured — and your role during the transition — deserve close attention.

Do my management agreements transfer to the buyer?

It depends on their assignment language; some transfer automatically with the business, others require owner consent. This single clause materially affects your price, so review it early. Confirm specifics with your own counsel.

Does my brokerage license affect the sale?

Property management in Texas generally operates under a broker's license, and the buyer must have qualified licensing in place. That transition belongs in the closing plan from the start.

Can a buyer use an SBA loan to buy a PM company?

Qualified buyers can access SBA 7(a) financing up to $5 million, and recurring-revenue service businesses are a favored lender profile. Clean financials, reconciled trust accounts, and a defensible independent valuation are required. SBA pre-qualification is a preliminary, non-binding lender assessment, not a loan commitment.

Will my property owners or staff find out?

Not from us. Your company is marketed blind to vetted buyers who sign a non-disclosure agreement before they learn who you are, and owner communication is planned jointly at the right stage.

How to Sell a Property Management Company in El Paso, TX (2026 Guide)

How to Sell a Property Management Company in El Paso, Texas

Property management is priced on one thing above all: contracted doors that stay. Buyers — from national franchises to local acquirers — pay for management agreements with term, low owner churn, and fee income that arrives every month whether or not the phone rings.

What buyers pay for in an El Paso PM company

A large rental base, Fort Bliss rotation turnover, out-of-town investors buying El Paso's affordability, and steady multifamily growth keep management demand strong. Buyers include national PM consolidators, franchise operators, and brokerages adding a management arm.

Doors under management and contract quality

Unit count, management agreements with term and assignability, and average fee per door are the core of every valuation in this category.

Owner churn and portfolio tenure

Annual owner attrition and average client tenure tell a buyer how much of the portfolio survives a transition — and set the multiple.

Ancillary fee income

Leasing fees, renewal fees, maintenance markups, inspection fees, and late-fee income can double revenue per door, and buyers pay for a complete fee schedule.

Staff, systems, and the maintenance engine

Property managers and maintenance coordination that run without the owner, on modern software, are what make the portfolio absorbable.

What is my El Paso property management company worth?

Move the slider. This uses owner's discretionary earnings (SDE) — your net profit plus your salary, personal expenses run through the business, interest, depreciation, and one-time costs. Portfolios are also cross-checked on value per door and revenue multiples.

That’s roughly 3.4× to 5.4× your owner’s earnings, before any real estate you own.

Every box you check is a lever you can still pull before you list. Owners who fix the books and the lease first routinely land at the top of their range instead of the bottom.

Illustration only — not an appraisal or an offer.

The six steps that get a property management company sold — in that order.

Document doors, fees, and churn

Three years of P&Ls and tax returns, reconciled, plus a portfolio schedule with doors by owner, management agreements and terms, fee schedule and revenue per door, owner churn by year, occupancy, and staff roster.

Commission an independent, certified valuation

Not a broker's opinion, and never a franchise consolidator's per-door offer. We commission a certified valuation from an independent NACVA-credentialed appraiser — the caliber of report banks, buyers, the IRS, and courts rely on.

Get your trust accounting immaculate

Security deposits and owner funds are the most scrutinized item in PM diligence. Clean trust accounting is table stakes; problems there end deals outright.

Fix what diligence will find

Broker licensing, management agreement assignability, trust account reconciliation, security deposit compliance, vendor arrangements and markups disclosure, lease file quality, staff licensing, software data quality, and unpaid taxes.

Market it confidentially — to more than one buyer

No word to your property owners, your tenants, or your staff. We market blind on portfolio and financial profile to vetted, financially verified buyers under NDA — so you compare offers rather than react to one.

Negotiate, survive diligence, and close

Offers, escrow, portfolio verification and churn holdback terms, management agreement assignment or owner consents, trust account transfer, staff retention, and funding. We stay on it through closing.

Six mistakes that cost property management company owners real money.

Management agreements that cannot be assigned

If every owner must individually consent, the buyer discounts for the consent risk. Reviewing and updating agreement language before listing protects the whole portfolio's value.

Sloppy trust accounting

It is the deal-killer of this industry. Deposits and owner funds must reconcile to the penny before anyone looks.

Not tracking owner churn

Churn is the number buyers underwrite. If you cannot produce it, they assume the worst and structure holdbacks accordingly.

Being the broker, the manager, and the relationship

If every owner calls you personally, the buyer inherits flight risk on the entire portfolio. Staff-held relationships are transferable value.

Underpriced management fees

Below-market fees are upside for the buyer, not you. Correcting the fee schedule before listing converts that upside into your price.

Accepting a per-door offer without testing it

Consolidators buy portfolios at multiples set by their own models, often with churn-based holdbacks. Competition and an independent appraisal are how you test the number.
