About
About this site and the buyers behind it
A plain statement of what We Buy Hotels and Motels is, what it is not, and what you can hold us to.
Why this site exists
Owners who want to sell a hotel or motel have few obvious places to start. Search for help and you find listing portals built for buyers, brokers asking for an exclusive, and pages about reselling room bookings. An owner who simply wants to ask a buyer a direct question has to work to find one.
This site is that starting point. It explains how a direct purchase works, describes the kinds of property we buy and gives owners a private way to open a conversation. The front page of the site has the short version.
What we are, and what we are not
We are buyers
When this site says we, it means We Buy Hotels and Motels: the people who evaluate and purchase lodging properties through it. A purchase may be made in our own name, with capital partners, or through an affiliated buyer, and you are told which before you sign anything.
We are not brokers
We do not list properties, market them to others or represent sellers. If representation is what you need, a hotel broker provides it, and our comparison of brokers and direct buyers is written to be fair to both.
We are not your advisors
Legal, tax and valuation advice is not something we give. A buyer's interests are not the same as a seller's, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise.
Four commitments to owners
Confidentiality first
We do not advertise that an owner has contacted us, and we sign an NDA before reading financials. See how confidential sales are handled.
Numbers before prices
No figure from us until we have read the trailing twelve months. When we do name one, we show the reasoning, using the concepts on the valuation page.
Plain answers
If a property is not for us, we say so early. If we do not know something, we say that too.
No pressure
A conversation is not a commitment. Owners who decide to keep their hotel, list it with a broker or sell to someone else owe us nothing.
What this site does not claim
You will not find deal counts, client logos, testimonials or a list of properties here. We have chosen to describe the process and let owners judge us by how we conduct a first call. Ask us anything you would ask any buyer, including who the purchasing entity will be and how a purchase would be funded, and expect a direct answer.
How to reach us
Use the form on any page, reach the buyers directly, or call with the red TALK TO ALEX button. The line is answered by Alex, who gets your details to us. Our answers to first-call questions cover what a first conversation involves, the pages on why owners sell cover the common reasons, and two short pages set out the basis on which the site is offered (the terms of use) and what happens to the details you send (the privacy policy).
Start with a confidential conversation
Tell us where the property is, how many keys it has and whether it carries a brand. We read every submission ourselves and call you back at the number you give.
Nothing you send is passed to a listing service, and sending it does not commit you to anything.
Tell us about the property
Read by the buyers. Never listed, never advertised.
