Services for Retiring Innkeepers

As you may or may not know, a consultant has limited abilities when helping owners sell their inn.  Consultants are not licensed to broker a deal (that is, bring a buyer and seller together) unless they are also associated with a licensed real estate broker in that state.  Because of this shortcoming, they are limited with advertising avenues, cannot show a property, or recommend financing opportunities for a fee.  A realtor/broker can show a property and can use a wide variety of techniques to give the property appropriate exposure but typically does not have the expertise or experience with inns to manage the financial analyses, help remove the regulatory speedbumps and roadblocks, and help the inn prepare for the sale.

Bushnell and Bushnell offers the  Best of Both Worlds. ...for the same fee as other brokers.  They both have the experience of owning and managing a large, successful inn.  Marilyn is a licensed realtor associated with Prudential Carruthers Realtors with their national exposure, and Scott's engineering, financial analysis, training background, and broad-based inn experience offers you the full range of consulting help required.  Together, Scott and Marilyn are a team dedicated to offering you the personal and professional help to successfully market your inn...all for the SAME FEE as working with a realtor alone.
