“Marcus & Millichap continues to redefine the hotel brokerage landscape,” says Williams. “Their platform is truly unlike any other in creating value for hotel owners, and Joce, Mike, Vishal, and I are excited at the prospect of helping our clients leverage this platform.”

Messinger has closed more than 25 investment real estate transactions in the southeastern U.S. and adds further depth of experience and knowledge to the team. He received a B.S. in business management with a concentration in hotels and hospitality from the College of Charleston. “Joining the Marcus & Millichap team, with their high level specialization on investment properties, finance and specifically for the hospitality asset class, will ensure our clients receive our team's exceptional brokerage services,” Messinger said.

Estes completes the team, living in and focusing on the Virginia market. Prior to joining Marcus & Millichap, Estes was the managing director for Charleston–based Beacon Hospitality. He has more than 10 years of hospitality management experience from operating a variety of full-service and select-service assets in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. He is especially well versed in evaluating the performance of brands across the Hilton, Hyatt and Starwood platforms. “I am looking forward to further strengthening long term relationships with hoteliers in the Mid-Atlantic and Carolinas and showing them first-hand why Marcus and Millichap has the strongest investment sales platform in the industry,” Estes said of his new role.

“Combining the strengths, experience and market knowledge of Josh's team with the value proposition of Marcus & Millichap's national hotel platform creates a highly compelling solution for hotel owners,” notes Ravi, regional manager for Marcus & Millichap overseeing the Carolinas market.
