Motel Brokers: How to Sell a Motel
If you’re looking to sell your motel, consider letting our motel brokers assist you.
Your decision to sell a motel is just as big as your decision to buy one. Whatever your reasoning may be, we know you don’t want to settle and accept a liquidation price. You’ve most likely invested a lot of time and money into this motel, and you expect a good return on your investment.
Get Your Motel Property Ready
One important thing to remember is that your business will not sell for more than what it is worth now (regardless of how much you purchased it for, how much you’ve invested, or your subjective perspective). If you are trying to sell a motel that isn’t profitable, you should prepare by restoring it to profitability. This could include upgrading technology, plumbing, electrical equipment, flooring, or other equipment.
Getting a business appraisal is not only a great way to give yourself an unbiased evaluation, but most motel brokers and/or buyers would like to see one as well. This will help you determine an appropriate price. Selling prices that are too expensive can hurt your ability to close on a sale, and prices that are too inexpensive might devalue your business to the buyer, or result in selling the motel for less than it’s worth.
Hire a Motel Broker
Motel brokers have specific sets of skills and knowledge. Don’t fall into the trap of hiring a business broker that will not have the necessary hospitality industry experience to advise you.
Unlike business brokers, motel brokers will have essential knowledge of the industry and current market. Southeast International Hotel Brokers has more than 50 years of experience to best serve you. We can guide you through every step of the motel sale process.
