Resources
Because Resort Brokers Australia specialises exclusively in tourism and hospitality businesses and properties, we are uniquely placed to offer buyers sound, professional advice based on extensive market experience.
Buying an accommodation or hospitality business or property may not suit everyone. Your success in this venture will depend on your skill, knowledge of the industry (or willingness to learn) and understanding of your market. That said, it is a sector offering investors tremendous potential for high returns and solid growth, and operators a lifestyle that combines business and pleasure, home and work.
Our promise to buyers is to provide the highest possible standard of service and comprehensive quality information on which to base your purchase decision. This includes expert assistance with demographic and market information that may influence your trading and growth prospects.
Further, we stress the importance of dealing through proven experts in this sector, professionals with direct expertise and a strong track record in the industry. Use the menu to the left to learn more about your options for investment and to identify experienced specialists in fields including finance, accounting and legal consultants.
When you consider the various investment models explained here, you will also need to consider financial resources. While individual circumstances vary, as a rule of thumb, lending institutions will generally fund towards the purchase of a motel, up to 70% of the freehold value and 50% of the leasehold value, and for management rights up to 80% of the unit value and between 50%-60% of the business value. This is of course dependent on individual circumstances and it is advisable to speak with your financial institution to confirm your borrowing capacity.

Selling according to the oxford dictionary is “the exchange of goods for an agreed sum of money. This process is generally the end product of a marketing process..
It is in this context that in order to gain a sale most often you need to effectively market your product in order to extend the range of potential buyers and gain the required end result.

The High Costs of Overpriced Marketing
In the heated real estate market of several years ago, it was common to list your property between 10 and 15% percent more than the expected sale price. This permitted room for your broker to negotiate with the buyer, there were many more around then.
If you adopt this approach today, you'd be lucky to receive any offers. Recently, listings that were priced at or under market value received offers, sometimes multiple offers. Over-priced listings sit on the market unsold. They become “stale”

A brand new noosa pitch
Tourism Noosa has appointed George Patterson Y&R Brisbane as its new creative agency after launching a
tender to lead a re-invigoration of the brand and its marketing activities.
Tourism Noosa CEO Steve Cooper said current branding was created in 2004 and it was “time to rethink
who we are, what we are and the markets we aim to attract”.
“The current branding has served us well,” he said.
“It's been great for the baby boomers, but it's only relevant to our present market.

For tourism an alluring picture
Market research has found that, far from running out of steam, Noosa's tourism juggernaut is going to
become our billion-dollar baby over the next decade.
And one key to keeping the golden nest egg, without throttling the goose, will be to encourage longer stays
rather than zeroing in on accommodation expansion.
As well, the report by respected economic firm EMDA, commissioned for Tourism Noosa, has helped
show the way forward with the peak promotion body determined to become less reliant on day-trippers by
encouraging more overnight stays.

Holidays the ‘busiest
on record’ for Noosa
LOWER interest rates, stabilised
petrol prices and sunshine combined to give the Noosa tourism
industry its best September holiday season in three years, Tourism Noosa chief Steve Cooper said.
He said while final figures were
not yet available, information from accommodation and other businesses suggested a turnaround
from last year’s disastrous summer
season. There are also positive
signs, coming into Christmas.

Thinking Outside the Square
I first made contact with Resort Brokers in 1993, when
I purchased a motel leasehold in Mackay, Queensland,
through our managing director, Ian Crooks. I’ve been part
of Ian’s specialist broking team for several years now, but I
know what it is to walk in the shoes of an accommodation
business owner.
The motel I bought had been in receivership and was run
down. With no worthwhile trading figures to benchmark, I
moved my family, including pregnant wife and five year old,
to the sub-tropics. It was a challenge to say the least.
