Bio
Tom Hamm serves as Senior Advisor for Sperry Van Ness, specializing in the sale of hospitality properties in the several states across the United States. Hamm has over 20 years of experience in the commercial real estate industry.
Attesting to his strong client relationships, a large percentage of his transactions have been repeat sales of the same property or multiple transactions with the same buyers or sellers. His clients have ranged from major financial institutions to individual owner operators, including Marriott, Hilton, Sheraton, Radisson, Holiday Inn, Days Inn, and AmeriSuites, as well as independent hospitality clients. Hamm has an extensive understanding of the lodging business and applies this knowledge to the marketing process. Through his proficient knowledge of buyers' needs, Hamm has been able to effectively match carefully selected buyers with a specific property. It has been this knowledge and understanding that has made his clients loyal. An example of his expertise in the hospitality market is that of the Meadowlands Hilton, just across the Hudson River from Manhattan. Having successfully sold a supposedly un-saleable hotel for Equitable, Hamm was given the assignment to sell the Hilton after another large brokerage failed to produce a satisfactory deal. Not only did his customer buy the property, but they resold it through Hamm five years later at quadruple their purchase price. Following that transaction, he sold another 400 room Hilton for the same owners.
Previously, Hamm served as Vice President of Chase Manhattan Bank, Hamm provides his clients the crucial analytical skills to the property operating statements, a key part of the selling process. He has been instrumental in arranging acquisition financing, ranging from a one million dollar SBA loan for an historic inn to a participating mortgage for a Marriott exceeding $30 million.
Hamm is an instrument rated private pilot who flies safety patrols for the Coast Guard Auxiliary and medical missions for Air LifeLine. Using this skill he is able to give customers and clients a whole new view of the hotel locations and sources of business for the hotels he sells.
