The difference
Why our fee is half the price of your broker
A traditional placement fee prices in a team that assembles each deal by hand. Intake, spreading the numbers, packaging the offering and calling lenders are done manually, and that labor is what the 1% to 1.5% pays for.
Bridge runs that work on a platform. The same screening, underwriting and lender matching happen in hours rather than weeks, so the cost of placing the loan is a fraction of what a brokerage carries. We price the fee to what the work costs, which is why it is 0.50% and why that pricing is permanent.
If technology lowers our cost to originate a loan, we believe those savings should make their way to the hotel owner.

FAQ
Questions about the 0.50% fee
What does Bridge charge to place hotel debt?
Bridge charges a 0.50% placement fee on hotel acquisition and refinance financing with a total request of $10 million or more. There is no separate origination or underwriting fee.
What is a typical hotel loan broker fee?
Hotel loan brokers and capital advisors commonly charge 1% to 1.5% of the loan amount to arrange financing. On a $10 million loan, that is $100,000 to $150,000.
How can Bridge charge half the price of a broker?
Traditional placement is labor intensive. Our platform handles intake, underwriting and matching the deal to capital sources, so there is no manual labor cost to price into the fee.
Which hotel deals qualify for the 0.50% fee?
Hotel acquisitions and refinances with a total financing request of $10 million or more, with 60 days of deal exclusivity.
Does Bridge charge any other fees?
No. The 0.50% placement fee is the only Bridge charge. Third-party reports such as the appraisal, property condition assessment and environmental report are unchanged and paid to the firms that produce them.
Is the 0.50% fee a limited-time offer?
No. The pricing is permanent.
Does Bridge lend its own capital or only place loans?
Both. Bridge lends directly on select hotel deals and places others with banks, CMBS lenders and debt funds, so you can compare our terms with other capital sources side by side.
Can AAHOA members get the 0.50% fee?
Yes. AAHOA members receive the same pricing through AAHOA Lending.
