Wine Country Bed and Breakfast for Sale
Sonoma, Napa, Mendocino, Marin and Lake Counties, California

Selling a Bed and Breakfast Selling a Bed and Breakfast is not like selling a residential property! Our experience in both Real Estate and Innkeeping can really make a difference in getting the best price for your Inn.

What will we do for you that other real-estate agents won't do?

Review your Property. We will carefully review your property and business including Financials, Marketing, and Website. We can help you a set a realistic asking price based on both past performance and future potential. We will make suggestions to help maximize your property value.

Prepare a Buyer's package. We will prepare a Buyer's package that will include important information about your property and business, such as a detailed Property fact sheet, Occupancy reports and graphs, Profit & Loss reports for the last 3 years, and projection reports and graphs to show buyers potential growth. And will make sure this information is only made available to qualified buyers who've agreed to confidentiality.

Advertise your property. We of course will add your property to the Multiple Listing (MLS) so you get exposure to all active local real estate agents. But most importantly, we will actively prospect for buyers for your Inn by listing your property on B&B portal websites and Commercial Brokerage websites—at our cost! These sites help you reach buyers and real estate agents outside of Northern California. We know which of these sites work. 90% of our leads come from the Internet websites where we advertise, not from the MLS! We will also advertise your property on our website.

Qualify your Buyers. Why waste time showing your Inn to casual browsers that have no real potential to buy your Inn? Before we show your Inn to any potential buyer, we ask them to complete a financial statement. We carefully review the information and work with the buyers to determine if your Inn is within their purchasing power.

Showing your Property. We will personally escort buyers through your property and share with them our enthusiasm for your Inn. We'll help to build excitement about the innkeeper lifestyle and be sure they have the information they need to move forward toward making an offer.

Review Offers. We will help you review, evaluate and negotiate offers. We'll make sure that the final contract includes specific legal clauses that are essential to protecting you through the sales process. Your business is more than just a piece of real estate, and we know the details that need to be addressed in writing to help ensure that buyers stayed committed.

Appraisal. Getting an appraisal on a California Bed & Breakfast Inn can be a major challenge. In today's market, a commercial appraisal sometimes comes in significantly lower than the residential value. We have worked with multiple appraisers in the area and we know which ones best understand the local lodging industry.

Closing the Sale. We'll be right there, following up on every detail and tracking every deadline to be sure that everything that has to happen, happens when it should. We'll be sure the escrow company has what it needs and we'll review the escrow papers before you sign to be sure the numbers accurately reflect the contract agreement. After all, closing is the whole goal!
