Erich Baum, CRE

Consulting Experience

Working for HVS for over 25 years, Erich Baum, CRE, has performed appraisal and consulting assignments in 47 of the 50 states, as well as Mexico and the Caribbean. Because of his range of experience, Erich focuses on the most complex jobs, including litigation-related assignments and atypical consulting work, and his position as a Senior Vice President with HVS Boston makes him particularly expert in New England hotel real estate. With Steve Rushmore, Erich co-authored the 2001 edition of the Appraisal Institute’s hotel valuation textbook, and he has written articles on various issues relating to hotel appraisal and consulting. Erich is a CRE-designated (Counselor of Real Estate) state-certified appraiser and holds undergraduate and graduate degrees from Cornell and the University of San Francisco, respectively.

Testimonials

"HVS is my go-to place when thinking about a major hotel or mixed-use project. They always come ready to take a deep dive into the facts and research open issues. They quickly assess the market and the product and lay out a clear analysis that is critically important and most helpful to banks, authorities, agencies and equity partners." – Robin Brown, Spot on Ventures LLC

"Though I have worked with HVS in the past, Erich Baum was particularly outstanding on all levels. Erich was extremely quick to reply to all emails, including late evenings and early mornings; extremely knowledgeable of the market place; provided a deep-dive analysis which was extensive, informative, accurate, and easy to read for the group to whom the analysis was presented. Erich took the time to meet with me during the assignment to understand our needs. The follow-up was very quick and on point. Additionally, Erich made himself available to present his findings by conference call to the group who had many questions, to which Erich responded with extreme professionalism and in a delicate manner." – Anne-Juliette Maurice, Main Street Hospitality Group

"Erich Baum of HVS tailored a study to our specific project and delivered the critical information we needed. His knowledge and responsiveness in answering our questions was invaluable." – John Aubin, Open Square Properties

"Erich did a thorough analysis and review of the assignment, was timely with the delivery of the report, and provided a well-written, easy to follow work product, great job!" – Robert Howard, Gold Key/ PHR Hotels and Resorts
