From Anaheim and the Disneyland resort to the coast at Newport and Huntington Beach, Orange County is one of California's premier hotel markets. I help owners sell for full value on the flag, the performance, and the real estate.
Orange County's tourism, the Disneyland resort, and the convention center make it one of the strongest hotel markets in the state.
The Disneyland resort, the Anaheim Convention Center, and the beach cities drive year-round leisure, group, and business demand, supporting high occupancy and strong ADR across full-service, select-service, and limited-service hotels. Premium land values mean the real estate is a major part of a hotel's total value.
Orange County draws sophisticated buyers, from hotel groups to REIT-backed investors, who underwrite carefully on RevPAR and the flag. Clean operating statements, a clear PIP picture, and a strong real estate story convert that demand into top-of-market offers.
A hotel is several things in one transaction. These are the pieces I manage so your deal reaches the closing table.
Brand approval of your buyer, franchise agreement assignment, and any property improvement plan required at transfer.
Occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR, the numbers buyers and lenders underwrite, presented cleanly from your actual reports.
Branded, independent, or third-party operated. I present the staffing and management model buyers will step into.
Any restaurant, bar and liquor license, meeting space, pool, or events, each of which adds value and its own diligence.
A hotel is a real estate and operating business valued per key and on income. Real estate is handled under my DRE license, #02372118.
Renovation reserves and brand-required improvements, mapped early so the cost is known and priced, not a surprise at closing.
Orange County is where many buyers find their first, or their next, hotel, and I help them buy well.
I help buyers evaluate occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR, read the franchise agreement and any PIP, understand the management model and food and beverage, line up SBA or commercial financing, and value the real estate across Orange County. Whether you want a limited-service or extended-stay property to operate or a full-service or boutique asset to invest in, I will help you buy the right one at the right terms.

It is valued primarily on income, using occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR, then a capitalization rate on net operating income and a per-key cross-check, with premium OC land values adding real estate value. Your flag and any PIP also move the number. A valuation on your actual operating statements gives the real figure.
Year-round tourism anchored by the Disneyland resort, the Anaheim Convention Center, and the beach cities produces durable leisure, group, and business demand, which supports high occupancy and ADR. That demand attracts a deep pool of well-capitalized buyers, from operators to institutional investors.
Yes. Orange County is a target market for hotel companies, private equity, and REIT-backed investors, alongside owner-operators for smaller properties. I can confidentially position your hotel to the buyer types most likely to pay a premium, whether a strategic operator or an individual owner.
Yes. Your sale stays confidential. The hotel is marketed without naming the location, and every buyer is screened and signs a non-disclosure agreement before they learn which hotel is for sale, protecting your staff, your revenue, and your standing with any brand or franchisor.
