by Geographic Boundaries

Backed by Marcus & Millichap’s client first platform since 1971, the National Seniors Housing Group provides unmatched research, capital markets access, and transaction infrastructure. With 34 dedicated seniors housing advisors across 20 offices, the platform delivers seamless national coverage while maintaining the precision, accountability, and specialization required for complex and competitive deals.

This structure ensures consistent underwriting, coordinated buyer outreach, and a single, disciplined process regardless of asset location or portfolio scope.

Advising across all seniors housing property types, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and CCRCs, the team sets clear, data driven expectations informed by active deal flow and how assets ultimately trade. When credibility, execution, and certainty of close are paramount, clients rely on the Knapp Stahler Group for outcomes that extend well beyond valuation.
