Philosophy

JF Capital Advisors was founded in April 2004 by a former Bear Stearns investment banker on the principle that a small team of experienced professionals could complete transactions more efficiently and expeditiously then larger firms, as well as offer dramatically improved services to the hotel transactions community.

Our business is built on our core strengths of experience, focus, and personal relationships, which, in combination, make difficult transactions possible and help large transactions proceed smoothly.

Experience

JF Capital Advisors' principals have completed more than $12 billion of M&A and capital markets transactions in the lodging industry in both advisory and principal investor capacities. Our experience, gained through a number of difficult negotiations and transactions, gives us an advantage in shepherding transactions to the finish line.

Focus

JF Capital Advisors relentlessly pursues those aspects of a transaction that we identify as most likely to cause problems or delays. Because of our status as a small advisory and investment firm, we are able to focus all of our attention on individual client situations and spend time working through the most important issues.

Personal Relationships

The strongest relationships are built on the mutual respect created by completing transactions to the satisfaction of both sides. JF Capital Advisors prides itself on the fact that many of our clients come from what used to be the other side of the table. Similarly, many of our partners have worked with us in the past.
