BACKGROUND:

This 327-room luxury property located in downtown Washington, DC, was being marketed by a west coast brokerage based in Los Angeles.

Challenge:

This asset class receives widespread attention from large prospective buyers from across the country.  At the time, DRES was representing a boutique international hospitality group looking to make its first US purchase.

Result:

DRES advised its client that to stand out in a crowded field it needed to offer initial terms that could not be beat.  The buyer made a non-contingent offer with a significant down payment that was accepted by the seller without hesitation.  DRES’ buyer closed in the shortest period possible and the property is now the company’s US flagship.
