“Dedicated, focused, & determined are just a few characteristics to describe Helen Zaver. I had the pleasure of working with Helen when she served as an AAHOA Board of Director for 3 years. She was remarkable and outstanding in volunteering her time and efforts in helping AAHOA. I see Helen now in her Hotel Broker role with Marcus Millichap. She is always speaking with, and updating members at the hotel conferences, as well as keeping everyone informed with her pertinent emails. Helen is a strong asset to the hotel community with her connections, involvement, and knowledge. I am proud of Helen for her years of devoted and enthusiastic service to the hotel industry.”

“I can tell you about Helen Zaver - She’s a 100% professional, friendly, knowledgeable, experienced HOTEL BROKER. I think she must know every single hotel owner - how does she do it? Working hard, that’s how. Helen and I have worked together on several occasions and each time I am reinforced about her ability to market and sell a hotel. I highly recommend her if you are thinking of selling your hotel."
