You have worked hard to build your inn business, so before you decide to list it as a bed and breakfast for sale by owner, contact a professional. When it is time to sell, you need the specialized brokerage service that will bring you the right buyer.

As the owner of an inn or bed and breakfast, when you contact Eliot Dalton, your inquiry is handled in strict confidence. Eliot will visit your inn and meet with you for an in-depth discussion. Eliot has a thorough working knowledge of the financial aspects of the innkeeping business, as well as an appreciation for the unique qualities of independent inns.

Many factors, including the inn’s business strength, the underlying real estate value, and the current hospitality real estate market contribute to the value of an inn. Setting the proper selling price is the key to a timely sale. Eliot Dalton will perform an analysis of your inn to determine its market value. He will then develop a marketing plan to offer the inn for sale.

Once you have listed your inn with Eliot, the marketing plan is implemented. The goal is to make as many qualified buyers as possible aware of your property, while handling inquiries with as much discretion as you require. Eliot interviews and qualifies buyers before showing them your inn. Eliot welcomes participation from other brokers representing buyers in order to market your inn as broadly as possible. When a buyer makes an acceptable offer, the process of negotiating and completing the sale begins.

Eliot Dalton is involved at every step. This includes preparing a financial profile of your inn to present to potential lenders and assisting buyers in finding financing. By bringing all the contractual details together, Eliot works to assure a smooth transaction.

If you have questions about the selling process, please contact Eliot. He welcomes the opportunity to talk with you.
