Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Thomas
I have developed 8 years of experience in Real Estate Investment and Asset Management, specializing in assets with a strong operational component: hotels, coliving, managed residences (student, senior, tourist), and leisure.
Dual expertise as investor & operator.I have worked on the institutional side (financial structuring, due diligence, negotiation, closing) and on the hotel operator side (operational management, revenue, commercial leases, management mandates). This dual competence allows me to evaluate an operational asset from two perspectives - financial and operational - and to identify risks that neither approach alone would capture.
Scope of intervention:
->Financial structuring and investment project setup
->Buyer/seller due diligence (financial, legal, real estate, operational)
->Negotiation and support through closing
->Audit of real estate portfolios in complex situations: arrears, insolvency proceedings, tenant changes, lease restructuring
->Strategic and operational asset management
Clients:institutional investors, family offices, operators, real estate companies
Sectors:hotels, coliving, managed residences, leisure residences, operational real estate assets.
