Founder & CEO, The Acquisition Companies

Salomon Prescott is a visionary hospitality real estate strategist, investment advisor, and the Founder & CEO of The Acquisition CRE. Over a distinguished 15-year career defined by a relentless asset-first approach, Salomon has been involved in high-stakes hotel transactions ranging from $5 million to $100 million across the East Coast.

Unlike traditional brokers or passive spreadsheet analysts, Salomon approaches every property with an uncompromising “Owner’s Mindset.” He understands that a hotel is an operating business first and a piece of real estate second. By fusing front-line operational expertise from Hersha Hospitality Management (HHM) and M&R Hotel Management with advanced financial underwriting from Innvest Hotel Brokers and Express Capital NYC, he focuses heavily on protecting margins, optimizing labor, and driving GOP and RevPAR from the inside out.

As Founder and CEO of The Acquisition CRE, Salomon has synthesized this rare 360-degree perspective into a single-outlet ecosystem for hotel owners. By handling Acquisitions, Dispositions, Financing, and Institutional-grade Property & Casualty (P&C) Insurance under one unified roof, he eliminates friction, communication gaps, and misaligned incentives.

Whether leveraging government subsidy frameworks—like PILOT agreements through local IDAs to maximize Net Operating Income (NOI)—or engineering alternative revenue streams and tech-driven cost-mitigation loops, Salomon’s proprietary underwriting models consistently uncover hidden monthly cash flow and drastically move the needle on cap rates.
