    Nov 6 2025

    In this episode featuring Ned Hennessey, a leading expert in dealership real estate at SURMOUNT, we dive into how equipment dealers can transform their real-estate holdings into strategic capital-drivers.

    Join us as we explore how sale-leaseback structures can allow you to unlock up to 140% of your real-estate value, turning that equity into capital and using the proceeds to expand operations, modernize your facilities or execute an exit strategy—all while maintaining operational control. With insights and actionable tactics, this is your guide to turning your site into a strategic asset.
