About Leisure Real Estate Advisors
Our Story - “The Competitive Difference”
With collaboration between Steve Olson of Leisure Hotel Corporation and Brent Jaynes, Leisure Real Estate Advisors was founded as an affiliate company with its first full year in 1998. The company specializes in the marketing and sale of hotels, exclusively representing owners of hotel real estate. By forming Leisure Real Estate Advisors, the company was able to rely on the resources of a successful hotel company, while in turn; the brokerage division added one of the final business models needed to complete the transformation into a one-stop full service hotel real estate company.
Although Leisure Real Estate Advisors is a totally separate and autonomous company from Leisure Hotels, its affiliation, as a broker, allows the brokerage company to benefit from the expert resources found within the many divisions of a multi faceted company. Among the many resources and expertise available to Leisure Real Estate Advisors include the following:
- Investment Partnerships
- New Hotel Development
- Asset Management
- Receivership/Workouts
- Accounting Services
- Purchasing Services
- Human Resources
- Information Technology
- Web Site Management/Internet Presence
Correspondingly, the preceding affiliates often call on Leisure Real Estate Advisors, when one of their managed hotels requires a market evaluation or assistance with a transfer of ownership.
Although Mr. Jaynes has 20 years of hotel brokerage experience, Leisure Real Estate Advisors was built from the ground up, through significant investment in print advertising, national trade advertising, web technology and developing a significant database of prospects. Naturally, the cross referral from the various “affiliated” divisions proved helpful. The result of such an effort has successfully transformed Leisure Real Estate Advisors into a very recognizable name in the hotel brokerage industry. To our knowledge, we are the only hospitality company in the U.S. to provide the extensive range of services found in our repertoire. We have given the term “full service” a new definition.
Since it’s first listing in 1998, listing and sales volume have doubled nearly every year. Our website currently generates 200,000 views per month. Leisure Real Estate Advisors has grown to three experienced brokers who have transacted every type of hotel asset. In 2005, the company decided to change its look, together with a complete redesign of its logo and a total reconstruction of its website. Built from nothing, to one of the top twenty hotel brokerage companies in the country, is testimony to our hard work, integrity and the love of the deal.
