Bill Oates and Heide Bredfeldt
have seen dramatic changes in the Country Inn/Bed and Breakfast world in the last 30 years as consultants. These changes, accelerated with the impact of the internet, affect all aspects of the Inn business, but are especially noticeable in the transfer process.
For innkeepers wishing to move on, the old real estate model: hire a broker or consultant, wait for buyers to be produced, and pay a very large commission, simply does not work in today’s world. Please explore the links at the left for services for current innkeepers and for future innkeepers, including our seminar. Links for Inns for Sale as well as Recent Inn Sales are also available.
