| David Pierson and Varnum/Armstrong/Deeter, LLC have represented Sellers and produced Buyers for motels, hotels, and select destination restaurants and other retail properties throughout Kansas and Missouri since 1995. Our Seller Clients have included longtime owner/operators, investment partnerships, banks, and court authorized sales. Our projects have ranged from small mom and pop lake resorts to full service motor hotels with 2 restaurants and conference facilities for up to 900. The key to our ongoing success is our dedication to finding the best available Buyer for a given property. As part of one recent sale, we produced not only the Buyer, but also additional written purchase offers from prospects from Kansas, Missouri, New Hampshire, Colorado, New Jersey, Montana, Illinois, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and New York State. We have also produced property inquiries and/or showings with prospective Buyers from as far away as Guam, Israel, England, Germany, and Belgium, which we believe is a testament to the United States remaining the land of opportunity and our expertise. We only market exclusive listing motel properties and aggressively promotes our Listings throughout an investment of not only time, but financially through direct contact sales efforts, targeted direct mail, custom property and community profiles, local, regional and/or national print advertising, as well as aggressive Internet marketing resources. We believe that our showing of our listings and their communities is only one small way that we are able to best represent a given property to prospective Buyers. In addition, we work with our Buyers to secure the necessary financing and assist with various property sale and transfer issues.
