"Erich Baum has completed a number of assignments for our company. His work product is always well done, professional, and insightful. We use HVS and Erich to confirm, challenge, and/or validate business decisions, the quintessential definition of a 'third-party business partner.' Thank you HVS and Erich for another assignment well done." – Bob Howard, Chief Investment Officer Gold Key / PHR

When working with Erich, he was flexible and understood how to select an appropriate data set and the unique qualities of the subject property. This resulted in a more thorough market study." – Corey Gluckstal, Five Point Real Estate

"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
