    Motel Franchise Real Estate — Branded and Independent

    Motels are a strong entry point into hospitality. Lower price tags, smaller staffing, and steady highway traffic make them popular with owner-operators. Summit REALTORS work on branded and independent motel deals across Canada.

    What Summit does — and doesn’t

    Summit is a real estate brokerage specialising in franchise locations across Canada. We help you secure, hold, and exit the real estate underneath your franchise. We are not a franchise consultant or recruiter.

    We handle

    • Site search and site approval coordination for your franchise locations
    • Commercial lease review, negotiation, and renewal
    • Resale brokerage when it’s time to sell — confidential marketing, buyer prequalification, lease assignment
    • Coordination with the landlord, lender, lawyer, and franchisor real estate team

    We don’t handle

    • Franchise applications, brand approval, or franchisor selection criteria
    • Training, supply chain, operations, or marketing programs — those stay with the franchisor
    • Picking a brand for you — that’s a business decision we’ll respect, not influence

    Canadian motel market

    Canadian motels run from $1.5 million to $8 million. Branded flags include Super 8, Days Inn, and Travelodge. Many properties are owner-operated. Highway visibility, room count, and parking decide most of the value.

    Buying a motel

    Buyers look at occupancy, average daily rate, room count, and the lender's read on the property. CMHC financing is available for some deals. We help you assess the property and structure the offer.

    Selling a motel

    Motel sales take 6 to 12 months on average. Buyers want clear bookings data, a clean STR (Smith Travel Research) record, and a transferable franchise agreement where applicable.

    Common mistakes motel buyers make

    • Skipping environmental due diligence on older roadside properties
    • Buying a flagged motel without modelling the upcoming PIP
    • Underestimating the staffing required for 24/7 desk coverage

    • Site selection, lease review, and lease negotiation aligned to franchisor criteria
    • Resale brokerage, location takeovers, new-build site work, and sale-leaseback structuring
