Selling a hospitality asset is not like selling a house. It requires an understanding of occupancy rates, food and beverage margins, leasehold complexities, and the relentless passion it takes to run a venue. At McDonald Hospitality Brokers (MHB), we don't just understand your industry; we have lived it.
McDonald Hospitality Brokers is a premier agency specialising exclusively in the exchange of hospitality businesses and property. Based in Albury and servicing New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland, we are the bridge between dedicated vendors and astute buyers.
We operate on a simple but powerful philosophy: In order to sell your business, we need to understand it.
Unlike generalist commercial agents who view a pub or motel as just another building, we view it as a living, breathing operation. With a combined 40 years of experience as hotel and motel operators, our team knows exactly what it takes to pour a beer, turn down a room, and manage a P&L. We combine this operational DNA with over 35 years of brokerage experience, giving you a level of expertise that is unmatched in the marketplace.
If you are looking for a partner who speaks your language and defends your value with evidence-based data, welcome to MHB.
The Operator’s Advantage
The hospitality market is nuanced. Buyers are sophisticated, and they ask tough questions. You need a broker who can answer those questions with authority.
Our team, led by Managing Director Dan McDonald, brings a rare "insider" perspective to the negotiation table. Because we have been operators ourselves, we can identify the hidden value in your roster, your supply agreements, and your forward bookings. We know how to showcase your business to the marketplace in a way that ensures buyers recognize its true performance and potential.
We are:
-
Passionately Hospitality: We know the industry because we live it. We understand the long hours and the dedication required, and we respect the legacy you have built.
-
Evidence-Based: We do not rely on guesswork. Every strategy is backed by hard data and expert market insights, ensuring your valuation stands up to scrutiny.
-
Consistently Authentic: We believe in honest advice and clear direction. We tell you what you need to hear to get a result, not just what you want to hear.
