International hotel broker
What is a hotel broker?
A hotel broker specializes on the marketing (purchases and sales) of hotel real estate. Brokers offer according to §34 C Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 No. 1 GewO a service portfolio all around „the conclusion of contracts concerning properties, rights equivalent to property, commercial rooms or living space“.
Hotels officially count as so-called operator property which is concepted for a certain operator. Besides, hotel real estate also counts to the so-called special real estate which is built specially to fulfill certain requirements. In comparison to residential real estate, the sales process of hotel real estate is substantially more complicated. This is one of the reasons why you should rely on a professional hotel broker when it comes to purchasing or selling hotel property.

There are many different kinds of hotel companies: Hotel chains, conference hotels, full hotels, hotel Garni, all year round or seasonally open hotels, wellness hotels, golf resorts, business hotels, city hotels, beach hotels, romantic hotels, sports hotels, family hotels, holiday hotels, business hotels, 3-star hotel companies or high five-star hotels … each distinguishes itself by their quite individual characteristics. It is important to not only know the exact demands of the target group to properly evaluate the value of the hotel real estate, but also to pull up the correct analysis for the appraisement.
