Job description

Hotel Real Estate Appraiser Associate, Hospitality Consulting & Valuation

HVS | Orlando, FL

HVS Hospitality Consulting & Valuation is hiring a sharp, analytical junior associate to join our dynamic and collaborative team. The role is ideal for a self-starter who is efficient, highly organized, adaptable, eager to learn, and quick to refocus as priorities change. This is a hands-on analytical position for a recent graduate or early-career professional (bachelor’s degree required) who is strong with data, careful with detail, and a highly capable writer. At least six months of hotel industry-related experience is preferred. Working alongside experienced industry leaders, you’ll help clients make informed investment and business decisions across the hospitality sector. This role begins with one year of training and hands‑on experience in our Tampa/St. Petersburg, Florida, office, starting at $60,000, with a defined step-up to $71,000 after a successful first year and upon promotion, at which time the associate will relocate to Orlando, with relocation assistance provided. The $71,000 salary reflects a $10,000 promotional increase and a $1,000 cost‑of‑living adjustment (COLA) associated with the move to Orlando. The average salary approaches $100,000 after just a few years of learning this work and becoming exceptional in its delivery. We also pay 100% of employee health insurance premiums, offer a 401(k) match, and provide a comprehensive benefits package.

Why HVS?

No two days are alike. Our consultants travel and learn about hundreds of submarkets and hotels, and our team can interact with industry participants that are equally passionate about this work. Hotel market studies, feasibility studies, and appraisals (valuations) are the mainstay of our business, and we train new associates how to expertly put together highly credible analyses and written reports to back up our conclusions.

What You Will Do

• Compile, clean, and analyze comparable sales and lodging performance data, and build the exhibits that support our conclusions
• Build and maintain Excel workbooks and models, including competitive sets, occupancy and rate forecasts, supply-and-demand analyses, hotel financial statements, pro formas, and discounted rate analyses
• Draft, fact-check, and refine report sections such as market and neighborhood overviews, property descriptions, competitive positioning, and highest-and-best-use narratives
• Research markets, entitlements, regulations, demographics, and economic and lodging trends, and verify facts before they reach a client deliverable
• Turn source materials, market reports, and inspection notes into clean, usable analysis
• Support USPAP-compliant appraisals, market studies, and feasibility studies from kickoff to delivery
• Carry out fieldwork and property inspections as directed
