The Senior Living Industry is facing increasing challenges, and now you have to decide who is going to help you and your mission do the same.

Why should you choose Herbert J. Sims? Although we’re one of the oldest and largest firms specializing in Senior Living – with 8 locations and over 70 employees working on financings from $3,000,000 to $300,000,000 – there are more impressive reasons to partner with us.

great investor interest. lower cost of capital

As Financing Specialists since 1935, we have created a loyal following of wealthy individual investors. In fact, our performance is so exceptional and their level of enthusiasm is so high, we often have more investors eager to buy our products than we have products. This built-in distribution system means that you do not have to wonder if there will be a market for your project. And unlike other firms, there is far less need for us to sell our securities to institutional investors. Because our individual customers are competing to lend you money, Sims can execute your financing at a lower cost of capital, resulting in greater savings and additional revenue for you and your mission.

more options executed faster

Anyone who has ever dealt with a large financing “factory” can attest to the problems when your project is anything but plain vanilla. There is always the sneaking suspicion that the bankers who tell you “this is the only way the deal can work” are simply stonewalling you because it is easier and therefore more profitable for them.

The experience of working with Sims, however, is very different – as many of our grateful clients will attest. Rather than force you into a limiting financing strategy, Sims’ bankers create more options that give you the most efficient, flexible financing opportunities. Then, working together with you, Sims will review your alternatives, make recommendations and underwrite the financing faster than anyone else.

This has made Sims a leader and expert in a whole arsenal of financing alternatives including Rated, Unrated, Credit Enhanced or Non-Credit Enhanced Bonds, Subordinate Debt, Bridge Loans, Preferred and Common Equity, Seed Money and FHA Insurance. Sims makes all of the alternatives available to you to finance your new construction, acquisitions, expansions, repositionings and refinancings.

In short, there is no reason why you should be limited to one-financing-fits-all. Sims can provide you with flexible terms and covenants that can, in financial terms, put money in your project today and leave you with more options open in the future. In human terms, it can be a windfall that means more programs or services for your residents.

we think a great deal more

Einstein once said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” However, when you work with Sims, you have the assurance of getting both. It is not enough to hire some of the brightest, most experienced bankers in the business or to put more senior people on your team, regardless of the size of your project. We strongly believe in giving them the freedom to think independently.

Clients who thought they could not get a better price, who thought they had unsolvable problems or what they wanted to achieve was not doable, found it done in an atmosphere of cooperation and integrity.

So before you settle for less for yourself and your project, talk to Herbert J. Sims about how we can lower the cost of capital while raising your level of service. Regardless of what others have told you they can do, Sims has the expertise and commitment to do better.
