Sale Volume for HBI Offices is Up Sharply Over the Same Period in 2024
Hotel Brokers International (HBI), the leading marketing organization for real estate brokers specializing in lodging transactions, today announced that hotel sale volume from its member offices has increased more than 40% through the first three quarters of 2025 when compared to the same period in 2024.
Despite ongoing challenges in the transactions market from persistently high interest rates, stagnating and sometimes declining hotel revenues, and inflationary cost increases, HBI member offices – spanning coast-to-coast and representing 19 states – continue to deliver strong results for their clients.
“Over the past few years, HBI has invested aggressively in technology to enhance our members’ marketing effectiveness, and it’s paying off,” said Ed Walsh, President of Michigan-based Alpine Realty Capital and President of Hotel Brokers International. “If you are an active hotel buyer, you should be routinely checking www.hbihotels.com, and if you are a hotel broker, we can be the advantage you are looking for,” continued Walsh.
