HBI Predicts Aggressive Buying Through 2008

Nationwide hotel real estate sales are expected to increase eight percent in 2007, up from a record $25 billion in 2006. Brokerage specialists at Hotel Brokers International are exceeding the national pace with sales up 10.3 percent.

HBI Network Growing to Meet Global Demand

Hotel Brokers International sees hoteliers increasingly seeking global representation and the organization intends to be a significant presence wherever hotel transactions are taking place. As hospitality investors enter the global marketplace, they want the confidence of working with a highly skilled broker who understands local market conditions and how to maneuver through government and brand requirements to consummate a transaction.

Hotel Sales Data Readily Accessible

TransActions Data Services - a division of Hotel Brokers International - has recorded more than 400 hotel sales in its extensive database during the first eight months of 2007. Initial analysis indicates a significant increase in the number of upscale and mid-market sales over the previous year.
