Sell-Side Transactions

Leading Australian Hotel Advisers With Over 30 Years Experience and 700+ Projects

Dransfield provide a complete suite of transaction related services designed to maximise value and reduce transaction risk.

Experience gained from over $3 billion in transactions including selling, buying and preparing assets and portfolios for exit. Dransfield offers a unique and diverse skill set that achieves transaction outcomes above expectations.


Dransfield identify credible best uses and create structured transactions to unlock special value. By creating value we close price gaps and resolve objections using our specialist knowledge and resources. We also develop ways to mitigate perceived buyer risk reducing transaction time and risk of transaction failure.


Dransfield add value prior to market presentation to improve asset attractiveness, ease assessment and increase competitive tension. We present assets having clearly identified best uses with the flexibility to modify these for specific purpose buyers. We communicate complexity in a simple manner that helps bidders manage stakeholders and avoid objections. We often work with traditional agents allowing them to present prospects identified by their network, whilst taking custody and leading the total transaction process.
