The Advisory Group is a family-owned brokerage and consulting firm built around medical real estate valuation. Every medical valuation runs through Ron Young, a Counselor of Real Estate (CRE) with three decades of experience appraising healthcare properties, giving the firm a narrow, specialized practice rather than a general brokerage.
Work centers on fair market appraisals for acute care hospitals, outpatient care centers, ancillary service centers, and physician office buildings, along with full market feasibility studies for medical properties. Beyond appraisal, the firm handles OIG litigation support, lease portfolio management, site selection, and acquisition and disposition valuations, covering healthcare real estate transactions from initial site decisions through disposition.
A recurring focus is Stark Law compliance: the law restricts financial relationships between healthcare providers and entities offering Designated Health Services, and healthcare providers entering new or renewed leases with referral sources need market analysis to stay compliant. The Advisory Group's valuation work supports that requirement, and the firm also works to establish consistent, compliant methodologies for real estate team members within healthcare organizations to reduce the risk of violations. The firm's practice sits at the intersection of real estate appraisal and regulatory compliance for hospitals, outpatient providers, and physician groups.
