Meet Our Team
E.T. & Pam Strickland
"Founders"
After 17 years of helping people find their dream home in residential real estate, we wanted to help people realize their professional dreams of business ownership. With the ever present need and importance of Child Care, we knew this was the industry we wanted to specialize in, and so in 1989 we started our company specializing ONLY in Child Care, Preschool, Montessori & Private Schools. After years of success and expansion our vision has grown to many other states with a growing team under us. It is our dream to help you realize ALL of your Child Care dreams.
Alan Strickland
I have been selling Child Care and preschools for the past 31 years. I continued in sales even after I bought my first Child Care Center. I continued to expand to 5 centers until selling all of them so I could return exclusively to helping others live out their Child Care dreams. As the Florida Broker of our family business, I work with all of our Trusted Associates to ensure timely transactions, in addition to working directly with sellers and buyers.

I have owned and operated several centers in the southeast and currently own a center in Monroe, GA. I have the experience and knowledge of the Child Care industry to help both buyers and sellers in all phases of the transaction.

Florida, Alabama and Tennessee and have been involved in several transactions over the last 15 years. My main goal for my customers, both Buyers and Sellers, is to help them discover, interpret and evaluate all the facts related to the sale or purchase of a preschool or private school.
Beau Strickland

Enrique Iturriaga Sr.
When I came on board in 2006 as a
Sales Associate for School Investment
Properties, Founders of the company,
E.T. and Pam Strickland, had recently
purchased a struggling School.
Because of my background as a
Builder, I was offered an opportunity to
bring the School up to code and
revitalize it. After I remodeled and then
re-measured the facility, Licensing
granted us an increase in capacity. I
began implementing methods that
rapidly raised our enrollment and hired
new staff and management. Continuing
to advance the School’s presence in
the community, I laid the groundwork
for its future sale.
Those hands-on experiences early on
in this career, gave me valuable insight
regarding school owners’ requirements
to prosper and to plan an eventual sale
of their business. Numerous and
diverse school sales here in Florida,
and cooperative school sales in
Georgia, have developed that insight
into an experienced knowledge.
Understanding the Seller’s requirement
for timing and carefully determining the
valuation of the business; identifying a
Buyer whose dreams and qualifications
match the school; maintaining an open
communication from negotiation
through ownership transition;
encouraging and providing a genuine
spirit of cooperation between all parties; motivating the process; and using specialized software to track its progress and the stages of financing are building blocks that I provide. It is exciting and deeply gratifying for me, to put together the puzzle that makes up each Successful Closing!
“If we don’t speak with each other,
we both miss an opportunity.”

After earning my broker’s license, I began working for School Investment Properties.

John Young
After formal school, I went to work in the financial industry as a personal financial advisor. After owning businesses myself, I decided to help people capture their dreams of owning a business, while also helping others accomplish their dream of retiring from the child care business. Starting out as ET’s assistant, I quickly sold my first school and have not looked back since. Working diligently and intensely coupled with the great support staff of School Investment Properties has allowed me to assist many clients with the purchase and sale of their centers.
Brad Stockdale

From this time I’ve acquired a passion to help others find the perfect locations to produce growth and longevity for their School. By listening to the goals of my clients, I can assist in setting objectives and formulating strategic action plans for both buying and selling of commercial real estate. A variety of my assets as an associate include expertise in marketing, contract negotiations, sales, and strategic planning.
Enrique Iturriaga Jr.
Starting in 2010 as an agent’s assistant, I learned the ins & outs of every step of the process, from the first handshake to the day of closing. In the past 13 years in this industry, I have come to realize that the two most crucial components to a smooth & successful closing are communication & teamwork. Helping others realize their dreams of owning their own private school has been my passion for the last 13 years of my life & I look forward to helping you in your dream.
Justin Boatner
I, along with my beautiful wife, successfully owned and operated a Child Care Center for 15 years. I learned a lot of things to do and things you don't. Now I get to take the knowledge that was learned and help my clients achieve their goals and there is nothing better than helping a seller retire or a new buyer find their right School. I would love the opportunity to earn your business.
Kala Lynch
When my grandparents started their business over 31 years ago, I was in Child Care myself, and so growing up in the business I have had the opportunity to experience, serve and participate in every role Child Care has to offer. For the last 5 years, I have been working closely with our customers and existing pool of hundreds of lenders to ensure smooth and successful closings. As the closing coordinator it is my goal to get you to the closing table.
