Marketing the Hampton Inn for sale really stirred up a ton of interest from our network of hotel investors throughout the country and internationally – as it was an opportunity to purchase a Hilton product in the Tampa area with healthy returns and potential for additional upside. Both buyer and seller of the Hampton were repeat clients for us – we’re glad to continue working together and contributing towards their investment objectives.”

Due to our extensive network of hotel buyers, we were able generate multiple offers, align with the goals of both buyer/sellers, and successfully represent both sides of the transaction. Market conditions are beginning to shift, however; buyers are actively inquiring with our team to find hotels and we expect to have several new hotel listings on the market in the upcoming months.”
