Testimonials from our Clients and Lenders.

Hi Sam,

 

As a first-time assisted living facility buyer, I quickly learned how complex these transactions can be—combining real estate, business operations, and stringent healthcare regulations. Having Sam Buran as my broker made all the difference. From day one, he brought not only market knowledge but also a rare understanding of the regulatory and licensing landscape that surrounds assisted living facilities.

 

Sam represented both the seller and me with absolute integrity. He maintained transparent communication throughout and consistently worked to find fair, creative solutions that satisfied all parties. His deep familiarity with AHCA processes, SBA lending requirements, and commercial real estate contracts ensured that every detail was handled correctly and on time.

 

What impressed me most was his unwavering commitment. Sam worked tirelessly to overcome obstacles that could easily have derailed the deal—whether coordinating with lenders, attorneys, inspectors, or state agencies. His follow-through was exceptional, and his calm, solutions-oriented approach kept the transaction moving smoothly even through challenges.

 

Sam is trustworthy, hardworking, and deeply knowledgeable about both real estate and the assisted living industry. He goes far beyond the role of a traditional broker, acting as a true partner and advocate every step of the way. This deal simply wouldn’t have closed without his expertise and persistence.

 

I would enthusiastically recommend Sam Buran to anyone buying or selling an assisted living facility or any specialized commercial property. His professionalism, diligence, and character are second to none.

Sam,


   Thank you so much for all that you have done. The first time I reached out to you was about ALFs in 2017. Since then, you have helped and guided me to be where I am today, owner of two ALFs. Your vast knowledge in the ALF field is astonishing. You knew the next steps before I can explain my obstacles. I did not think it was possible but with your guidance, we made it happen. It was a pleasure working with you and I am looking forward to the next project! What do you have available?

Dear Sam,


   Just wanted to say thanks for all you did to sell my ALF. You saved me a lot of time and trouble because I had no idea how to go about it. As a testimonial I would like to say you are very professional, impressed me with your knowledge and as we continued to meet I felt like you were family! I am glad we had you to do all of this, not only for the seller but you assisted the buyer with all of the work they had to do. I don't know how you remember all of the items for the state too. You did well and you are much appreciated by this family! Wishing you and yours well!

   It was the greatest pleasure working with Sam. I'm someone that didn't know anything about ALFs, much less the sale and purchase of one. Sam made it very easy to understand the process and assisted with the sale every step of the way. It could not have been any easier as Sam explained everything as the deal unfolded. Sam was a transaction broker; I had no doubt in my mind that Sam was looking out for the best interest of all parties! He assisted with forms, financing, state applications, paperwork and answered lots of my questions along the way, including an ALF since he had hands on ALF experience. Would I recommend Sam?....Absolutely! Can't wait for my next facility purchase as I know where I will be going!

   Happy New Year to you Sam! Was thinking about you just the other day and thanking God for brining you into our lives so that we could sell our ALF and have more time with my wife and doing adventurous things. You have been a blessing to us as well as many other people I'm sure. Hope you have the most prosperous year ever in 2018!

Dear Sam,


   My wife and I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the sincere and professional way you handled the entire listing and sale process of our Assisted Living Facility.


Your incredible knowledge of every aspect of the business, through attention to every detail and constant communication along the way was greatly appreciated.


You aggressively advertised and then carefully qualified prospects prior to showings. Above all, your positive attitude and continual persistence led to the desire result..... a transfer of ownership.


We highly recommend you at any opportunity.


Sincerely,


Tim and Louise Beverly
