Yes. The For Sale Listing Advertisement is open to licensed agents and realtors representing owners as well as FSBO sellers, at the same flat $349. Agents in the Frontier Hospitality referral network receive a 50% discount. Contact Bryce directly to discuss.

A listing in the Frontier Hospitality lodge and resort marketplace, a feature in the monthly newsletter to 3,200+ subscribers, SEO-optimized listing images, and unlimited price and content updates. You provide the listing content and photos, and enquiries go directly to you or your agent. It is advertising only: Frontier Hospitality does not contact buyers, advise on price, or take part in negotiations.

The asking price is your decision, but it should be anchored in how the market values these properties. Hospitality properties are valued primarily on the income approach — direct capitalization of stabilized net operating income (NOI) using a market-derived cap rate, cross-checked against gross income multipliers (GIM) from comparable lodge and resort transactions — not on what you paid or what you feel the property is worth. An independent appraisal by a designated appraiser provides a market value estimate supported by evidence a buyer and their lender will recognize.

A serious buyer will expect three to five years of financial statements — ideally reviewed or audited — along with operating expense breakdowns, occupancy data, and a clear picture of owner remuneration adjustments. If your financials are commingled with personal expenses or inconsistently structured, a buyer's accountant or lender will flag it. Organizing and normalizing your financial records before you list directly affects the price you achieve and the conditions a buyer attaches to an offer.

This is one of the most consequential aspects of a lodge sale. Crown leases, licences of occupation, and Park Use Permits are provincial instruments — transfer or assignment requires Crown approval, and in some cases a new application. Guide outfitter certificates and quota assignments are governed by provincial wildlife legislation and cannot simply be assumed by a buyer. These instruments need to be confirmed, documented, and their transferability verified before you list — not discovered in due diligence after you are under contract.

Not necessarily. A significant number of lodge and resort transactions occur privately, and the listing advertisement is open to owners selling independently. FSBO sales require more preparation, careful buyer qualification, and close attention to legal and tenure documentation, and you should have a lawyer involved from offer through closing. If you'd rather have the process managed for you, we can connect you with a licensed, hospitality-experienced agent.

Agents can create profiles on Frontier Hospitality Advisor at no cost. One agent per province or territory pays a flat annual fee for featured placement, which is advertising and does not depend on any referral, listing, or sale. Frontier Hospitality receives no referral fees and no share of any commission. You are free to choose any agent, whether or not they appear on the site.
