A hotel is a good investment only once it pays its way in operation

Estate agents know the market, architects the building, law firms the law. We add the operator's view: whether a property keeps its guests, whether the kitchen carries its weight, whether staff can be found and whether it earns beyond the summer.

What investors should know about Montenegro

Four findings from official statistics and public sources that matter for every hotel investment.

From this follows a conclusion that underpins our work: Montenegro's large source markets, Serbia and Russia, stay 7.46 and 11.82 nights and are therefore structurally guests of private rentals. The hotel guest, and with him the guest from the German-speaking countries, is the market that few have pursued so far. More figures in market insights · The German-speaking market

For investors

Before the purchase, during development, in operation

Before the decision

Operational assessment

An existing property or a new-build project from the operator's point of view: location and demand, category and fabric, figures of recent years, earnings in three scenarios from summer operation to year-round operation.

More on the pre-purchase assessment
During development

Pre-opening and concept

From the room programme through gastronomy and wine concept to the opening: team, service culture, prices and sales, so that the property ranks high on reviews and earnings from the first day.

After the purchase

Repositioning

Takeover, repositioning and season extension, with figures that owners and the bank can read. Together with financing through the Development Bank, which also finances condo hotels.

For owners who want to sell

The sale-readiness analysis

Buyers from the German-speaking countries ask about figures, occupancy, category and future. Owners who answer these questions in advance sell faster and can justify their price.

You receive a confidential report and an exposé in German and English, with an earnings plan in three scenarios: summer as today, an extended season, year-round. We examine nine areas, from location to potential, remotely or with a visit on site.

Altogether this takes three to five weeks, depending mainly on how quickly your documents are available. The exposé is valid for six months from the reference date.

What we assure you

  • Our fee is not tied to the sale price. You pay a fixed price, whether, when and at whatever price the property is sold.
  • If we bring a buyer ourselves through an agency partner, we receive a share of its commission, and we tell you so in advance.
  • We use your documents exclusively for this analysis. The report belongs to you alone.
  • The exposé goes out only after your approval.

The analysis is an operational assessment and no market valuation report; it does not replace legal, tax or construction advice. We check your information for plausibility; we do not confirm its accuracy.
