Acquire Real Estate facilitated the exchange of DoubleTree by Hilton Dallas-Fort Worth in its first fully automated secondary market crowdfunding investor exchange. The 282-room, eight-story DoubleTree is adjacent to the DFW Airport.

Acquire's Investor Exchange facilitates a blind auction process that enables a seller to identify a buyer, establish a value, generate the required documentation and consents, and—boom—exchange a property. It's kind of eBay for real estate. Though Acquire doesn’t charge investors to use the program, it does charge a fee for every investment made on the platform.
