Where is the FSBO advisory package available?

The package is available in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Northwestern Ontario, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Yukon — Bryce Witherspoon's designated AACI appraisal coverage area, since every engagement includes a personal site visit and CUSPAP-compliant appraisal.

Why is the package limited to 20 engagements per year?

Each engagement requires a physical site visit, a full CUSPAP-compliant appraisal, and professional photography, all completed personally by Bryce Witherspoon, AACI across a coverage area spanning BC to Yukon. Twenty is the realistic maximum that can be completed to a professional standard in a year.

How is the FSBO advisory package different from a standalone listing?

A standalone marketplace listing provides exposure and suits sellers whose pricing and materials are already organized. The advisory package adds a defensible AACI appraisal and professional buyer-facing materials for owners who want to be fully ready before they list.

Do I have to sell my lodge or resort without an agent?

No. The advisory package is built for owners selling independently, but Frontier Hospitality Advisor also refers sellers to vetted, hospitality-experienced agents by province for those who prefer full transaction management.

This Advisory Package

One Flat Fee

quoted, not commissioned

The fee is set on the front end and does not grow because your property is worth more. You keep the difference, which on most lodge and resort sales runs into the tens of thousands.

Why Owners Get Stuck

Selling on Your Own Usually Hits the Same Three Walls

I have watched capable owners stall out on the same problems for years. This package was built to remove all three before they cost you a buyer or a season on the market.

No Defensible Price

Pricing on feel or on what you paid leads to overpricing that sits, or underpricing that quietly hands money to the buyer.

No Professional Materials

Serious buyers expect organized financials, a clear tenure picture, and real photography. A weak package filters out your best prospects first.

No One to Ask

Tenure transfer, outfitter certificates, deal structure. The questions that come up mid-sale are not answerable with a Google search.

What's Included

Everything You Need to Sell Professionally, Done Personally by Me

Site Visit & Professional Photography

I travel to your property to complete the appraisal inspection and photograph the buildings, cabins, docks, and the setting itself. Good images decide whether a buyer clicks through or scrolls past.

AACI-Certified Appraisal

A full market value, going-concern appraisal under CUSPAP, the same report accepted by lenders, courts, and CRA. Income, sales comparison, and cost approaches applied where they fit, producing a value conclusion you can defend.

Buyer Information Package

A structured package covering operating history, tenure and licensing, infrastructure, and key value factors. It is the document you hand serious buyers. It protects your time and filters tire-kickers.

Marketplace Listing & Newsletter Feature

A professionally written listing built from the site visit, published on FrontierHospitality.ca, SEO-optimized, and featured in the monthly newsletter to 3,200+ active buyers. It stays live until the property sells.

Why This Package Is Different

"A lodge is not a house with a dock. It is a business tied to significant real estate assets and chattels."

The buyer pool is small and specialized. Financing is complex. Tenure, outfitter certificates, and guiding territories all affect transferability and value. Mispricing by even a modest percentage can cost you hundreds of thousands. Every file here is completed personally by me, not delegated, which is exactly why it works and why I can only take so many.

Pricing & Availability

A Flat Fee, a Written Quote, and a Hard Limit on Capacity

20 per year

Each engagement requires a physical site visit, a full CUSPAP appraisal, and ongoing advisory through a sale that can run six to eighteen months. Twenty is the realistic maximum I can deliver to a professional standard. This is a capacity limit, not a marketing tactic. If you are considering it, enquire early.

A standalone marketplace listing gives you exposure, and it is the right fit if your pricing, materials, and process are already organized. This package is for owners who want a defensible appraisal and professional buyer-facing materials built in from the start. It is the difference between being seen and being ready.

This package is built for owners selling independently. If you would rather hand the full process to a professional, I refer to vetted, hospitality-experienced agents by province instead. Tell me your situation and I will point you to the right path.
