Acquisitions & Dispositions

End-to-end buy-side and sell-side execution — from sourcing and underwriting through due diligence, structuring, and closing, with brokerage through We Are Miami LLC.

Festinger Advisors executes acquisitions and dispositions for owners, investors, lenders, private equity, and family offices across commercial real estate and hospitality. We run the full process — sourcing, underwriting, due diligence, structuring, and negotiation — with the discipline of a principal and the accountability of an advisor whose interests are aligned with the client's.

Robert Festinger has been directly involved in hundreds of millions of dollars in acquisitions and dispositions, including the $375 million acquisition of the Trump International Hotel at 1100 Pennsylvania Avenue and its conversion into the Waldorf Astoria Washington DC. Brokerage services are provided through We Are Miami LLC, a licensed Florida real estate brokerage.

What We Do

Deal Sourcing & Origination

We source opportunities through direct relationships and off-market channels, surfacing assets that fit the mandate before they reach a broadly marketed process.

Acquisition Underwriting

We underwrite each opportunity from the ground up — cash flow, capital needs, and downside — so a bid reflects real value rather than the seller's narrative.

Due Diligence Management

We run diligence end to end, coordinating financial, physical, and legal review to surface risk early and protect the basis before money goes hard.

Deal Structuring

We structure transactions to fit the asset and the capital — entity, financing, and terms — balancing return, risk, and the realities of getting a deal closed.

Negotiation

We lead negotiation on both sides of the table, protecting economics through letter of intent, contract, and the inevitable retrades that test a deal's terms.

Disposition Execution

We position assets for sale, manage the marketing process, and drive competitive tension to maximize price and certainty of close at exit.

Frequently Asked

Do you represent both buyers and sellers?

Yes. We execute on both sides — sourcing and acquiring assets for buyers, and positioning and selling for owners ready to exit. On any single transaction our role is defined clearly and our interests are aligned with the client we represent. Brokerage is provided through We Are Miami LLC, a licensed Florida brokerage.

What types of assets do you transact?

We transact across commercial real estate and hospitality — luxury hotels, resorts, branded residences, Class A office, retail, and mixed-use. Robert has been directly involved in hundreds of millions of dollars in deals, including the $375 million Waldorf Astoria Washington DC acquisition, giving us perspective across asset classes and complex transactions.

How is your acquisition process different?

We underwrite as principals, not as brokers chasing a fee. Every deal is built from independent analysis, rigorous diligence, and structuring that anticipates risk rather than discovering it at closing. That owner-side discipline protects the client's basis and keeps execution aligned with the return the deal was meant to produce.
