He has completed hotel valuations and appraisals on hotel real estate with an aggregate value of over $20 billion.
A New England native and state-certified general appraiser, Brian has completed hundreds of engagements, spanning appraisals of motels, inns, bed-and-breakfasts, hostels, and limited- and full-service hotels, to more complex consulting assignments on resort, destination, and convention hotels. He understands the nuances of the numerous lodging product types across markets throughout New England.

This breadth and depth of expertise results in thoughtful, credible analyses and supports accurate, actionable client guidance.
Some of Brian's significant past engagements in the New England/Northeast region include the following.
"Brian is very knowledgeable and professional. With his experience, our new hotel project in Kittery, ME is going to be the best hotel in Kittery. He is very easy to work with. He understands and works very hard for his client so the project becomes very successful." – Mr. Jay Patel, Owner, Proposed TownePlace Suites by Marriott Kittery
