Whether your interest is specific or general; we believe the process of buying an Inn is highly personal. Heide Bredfeldt and Bill Oates would like to explore with you your plans and aspirations.
For many our Seminar for Future Innkeepers, a distillation of our collective 50 years of experience, is a logical next step. We believe good information about Innkeeping and how to buy an Inn or Bed & Breakfast will make you a better Innkeeper.
Just as the internet has changed the transfer process for Innkeepers, it has affected the process for buyers as well. Parallels are many. The internet has intensified the old and unreliable real estate model. Listings on the internet are in the hundreds. Presented for the most part as real estate, these listings are rife with glittery pictures and florid prose,describing in detail every brass hinge and crown molding, telling us of the long departed notables who built or lived there. What is missing is any hint of income, occupancy, and cash flow, or any justification for a price that is likely to be totally unsupported by business activity.
The first need for future Innkeepers is information; solid information about what makes Inns viable (size, location, style, etc.) how you develop business (marketing) and how to establish proper price and terms (valuation).
