Thank you for the guidance and expertise provided by Mumford Company

Just a short note to thank you for the guidance and expertise provided by Mumford Company in the marketing and sale of our first ever REO Hotel property. Having no experience in dealing with potential hotel buyers, hotel franchisors, hotel management companies, etc., your guidance was particularly helpful. Lastly, moving our deal from a signed listing agreement to a successful closing in less than three months certainly exceeded our expectations and we greatly appreciate it. Thanks again for a great job!

Process was Smooth and Yielded a Nu…

It was a pleasure working with Mumford Company on the sale of our Country Inn & Suites Atlanta/Lithia Springs in Q1 2014. The marketing process was smooth and yielded a number of offers from qualified buyers that met our pricing guidelines and closing timeframe. We would certainly work with you and the Mumford team in the future on disposition and acquisition needs. Warm Regards,

Andy Chopra Principal and Chief Investment Officer Banyan Investment Group

Professional Manner & Very Knowledg…

"I have been in the hotel business for 25 years. I have been involved in many purchase/sale hotel transactions. Without any doubt, this sale was the most difficult that I have ever experienced. I have previously worked with many hotel brokers. I heard many good comments about your company and we decided to go with the Mumford Company. Using your company was a very good decision. I would like to provide my thoughts concerning your company. You represented the hotel’s ownership in a professional manner, were very knowledgeable, and provided many excellent suggestions. I doubt if the last offer would have a become a reality without constant assistance. Based on my experience, I would definitely recommend the Mumford Company."

He always guided me and assisted me…

Mr. David, I am Ojash Shah and I recently purchased the Comfort Inn & Suites in Warner Robins. As you know, Burton Brooks from the Mumford Company was the realtor involved in the day-to-day issues and I am so very glad that he was the person involved. Right from the first day when I spoke to him about the property and until the day of closing Burton was more than helpful. He always guided me and assisted me in all ways possible, introducing me to finance companies, working with Choice, getting all the information that I asked, insurance and the list could go on and on. Burton is a very patient person and I really appreciate it all the more because I was new to this business and if not for his patience I would not have been able to go forward. A couple of times in the process I felt that the deal was going to fall apart, but Burton was very positive that everything would be okay moving forward. I talked to him everyday and many times several times in a day, after office hours, on weekends, he was always available for me. He is now a great business associate and friend that I have made in the last three months. I definitely am of the opinion that Burton was very instrumental in making sure that the deal went through. I would definitely recommend him to any of my friends and family who would be interested in buying a hotel. Also, Steve Kirby and the Mumford Company have greatly assisted in this deal and I would sincerely like to thank all of you. Best Regards,

Quality Inn and Suites of Henderson…

"As a principal purchaser of the Quality Inn and Suites of Hendersonville, NC, I wanted to pass along a few words about the effort put forth by Ed James in making our transaction happen. Over the past four months there have been a number of issues and occasions where out deal could have derailed, but it was Ed’s commitment, professionalism and readiness to help us, without compromising his fiduciary duty to the seller that made this closing possible. Mr. Mumford, I could go on and on to pinpoint the incidences where Ed has gone above and beyond, but instead will simply offer our sincere thanks to Ed and your entire team. I hope we will be able to work with you again soon!"

-Joseph V. Green, President & CFO Winston Hotels, Inc., Raleigh, NC

I Don’t See How You Do It…

"Dear George ... I can’t believe we finally sold the Motel, all those offers, even acceptances. I don’t see how you do it. You really earned your commission on this project. We are grateful for your stamina and the hard work of your staff. ... A highlight has been working with you. You have been a big help to my family and I’ll never forget it."

-"Phil" Barger Waynesboro, VA

Beyond Normal Broker Expectations

Ed, You went beyond normal 'Broker" expectations and responsibilities with all your Best Western communications and planning for the transfer of the membership as well as working with the purchaser though the whole process. I have never seen a Broker do so many well done tasks to get a hotel sold. You are the man,

Harvey Moore Vice President-Partner Harmony Hospitality

I would not hesitate in hiring him again

"Without reservation, I would recommend the services of Ed James & Mumford Company when purchasing or selling a property. Ed has worked with me on several transactions over the years the most recent being the sale of the Hampton In in Kinston, North Carolina. From our initial contact to closing, Ed was instrumental in making the transaction go seamlessly. He is a professional that uses his knowledge about the process of listing and selling hotels to the benefit of the seller and buyer. His regular communications are on-point, clear and consise. He has once again done the job to my full satisfaction and I would not hesitate in hiring him again and/or recommending him to my business associates."

Comfort Suites in Salem

"It was not an easy decision to sell the Comfort Suites in Salem as it was one of the highest quality hotels we have built in our 35 years in the business. We felt we had to turn to someone that could help us find another operator that we felt would leave the hotel in good hands and run it as we would. Without the professionalism and the experience of the Mumford Company and more specifically, Ed James, we may still be holding the hotel today. Ed James and the Mumford Company made us feel extremely comfortable with our transaction."

-Dave Andersen, Vice President Dominion Lodging Inc.

Very Happy with the Sale …

"Mike Wyant and I want to thank you, Ed James, for all your help with the sale of the largest, and only full-service, hotel that Beal Bank has ever owned. The buyer that you brought to us was clearly the highest and best for this property, and the closing went very smoothly once we worked out all the loan terms. All of senior management here at the Bank, from Andy Beal on down, is very happy with the sale and the loan. We’ll be in touch as soon as the next hospitality challenge comes our way. Again, many thanks for all your help."

-Kent Twitchell Beal Service Corp.

New Albany Hampton Inn

"Dear Robert ... You recommended the Mumford Company two years ago, and I could not have been more pleased. As you know, the sale of the New Albany Hampton Inn was challenging. Steve Kirby and the rest of his team were very professional, gave me consistently good advice, was clearly on our side through the whole ordeal, I always felt very well represented by them and were a joy to work with from beginning to end."

A “win / win” for every deal

I have worked with David and Mumford & Co - Hotel Brokers since 1991. I have used them numerous times as both a seller and a purchaser. David’s deep knowledge of the market and timeliness in working the "deal" is without question the best I have experienced in the hotel real estate brokerage. In these challenging times, I value David’s integrity and creative ideas in getting to a "win / win" for every deal we work on. My highest recommendation!
