Real Estate

Acquisition and Disposition Consulting.

Assistance with the process of buying and selling hotel and resort properties, including the due diligence process,

market review, property analysis, and assistance with finding suitable real estate brokers and hospitality appraisers.

With the growth of hotel values slowing after a period of rapid gains, the importance of solid due diligence in underwriting acquisitions has increased. In addition, with supply growth outpacing that of demand in many markets, objective assessment regarding development of new hotels is needed more than ever. Virtually all parties involved in a hotel transaction or development have a vested interest in the deal. While brokers, in-house development teams, franchisors and management companies all have talent and expertise, by their very roles they lack objectivity and independence in underwriting. Today's lodging investors don't need market studies to paper a file; they need candid, cool-headed objectivity about a deal, and a strategy for increasing a newly-owned hotel's value. The Ascona Group can quickly and effectively assess a hotel's prospects, and we are not afraid to deliver the news if a deal appears unlikely to succeed. Our independence and candor are the hallmarks of our work and have been for many years.
