Vantage Hospitality & Brown Nester Introduce First-of-its-Kind Ad-Vantage Club
CLEVELAND, OH - June 13, 2011 - Building upon the recent strategic affiliation between Vantage Hospitality Group and Brown Nester Hospitality Services - the first such alliance of a global hotel company and brokerage company - the two industry leaders today launched a unique and innovative program that offers special privileges and savings opportunities when buying or selling hotels through Brown Nester.
The Brown Nester Ad-Vantage Club℠ is open to all hotel owners and free to join by visiting VantageHospitality.com or BrownNester.com.
Ad-Vantage Club members will receive the first look at new property listings from Brown Nester before they are made available to the general public. To further enhance the acquisition process, Club members who buy a property through Brown Nester and convert it to a Vantage brand (Americas Best Value Inn®, Canadas Best Value Inn®, Lexington Hotel® or Lexington Inn®) will have the first six months of membership fees waived - a savings of $10,000 or more. They also receive free Property Improvement Plans prior to a contemplated purchase and free opinions of value prior to a contemplated sale.
Vantage property owners who join the Ad-Vantage Club and list their hotels through Brown Nester will have the additional benefit of being released from their brand agreements without contractual obligations, upon the sale of their hotels.
“The Brown Nester Ad-Vantage Club is a first-of-its-kind program that will allow its members to maximize their return on investment in the highly competitive real estate market. Hoteliers from any kind of property can enroll and have the opportunity to save money on their hotel transaction,” said Brown Nester president Chuck Nester.
“All people need is an e-mail address to join the Ad-Vantage Club and enjoy privileges that the hospitality industry hasn't seen before. And those owners who are exposed to the Vantage family for the first time through the Club will be impressed with all the comprehensive resources and progressive, revenue-generating programs that we have to offer,” said Roger Bloss, the Founder, President and CEO of Vantage Hospitality Group, which is the parent company of the Americas Best Value Inn, Canadas Best Value Inn, Chinas Best Value Inn®, Value Inn Worldwide®, Lexington Hotel and Lexington Inn brands.
