The partnership will feature Bratton, who has advised buyers and sellers across all Hawaii asset classes for 40 years, as an expert voice across KeyCrew’s editorial network, deepening the company’s coverage of hotel and resort investment sales in Hawaii.

HONOLULU, Hawaii, August 17, 2026 – KeyCrew Media, the expert-first real estate media company, has selected Mark D. Bratton, CCIM, of The Bratton Team, as an expert source on hotel and resort investment sales, income-producing commercial assets, and hospitality debt and equity in the Hawaii market, based on his demonstrated experience and on-the-ground market activity. Bratton joins KeyCrew’s growing roster of expert sources across hundreds of markets worldwide.

Through the partnership, KeyCrew’s team will work with Bratton to co-produce dedicated thought leadership and market insights in Hawaii hospitality and commercial investment sales, published across KeyCrew Media’s portfolio of publications and distributed through its network of syndication partners, portals, and AI platforms.

Says Steve Marcinuk, Co-Founder and CEO of KeyCrew, “We’re delighted to be working with Mark and The Bratton Team and amplifying what The Bratton Team is actually seeing across Hawaii hotels, multifamily and retail to an open, non-paywalled audience of investors and operators is exactly what this partnership does.”

Bratton leads The Bratton Team alongside partner Mike Perkins, closing transactions across hotels, resorts, multifamily, retail, office, industrial, and development land since arriving in Hawaii in 1985. The team positions itself as a relationship partner across the full cycle of ownership – acquisition, operations, asset management, and disposition – rather than as single-asset-class specialists, serving Hawaii legacy landowning families weighing when to sell and mainland capital trying to enter a market that behaves differently from anywhere on the continent. Over the past year, it has added debt and equity placement to its investment sales practice, most recently selling a Kona hotel and placing the first mortgage with 40 lenders competing for the loan.

“Since 1985 we’ve sold hotels, shopping centers, apartments and office buildings in this market,” said Mark D. Bratton, CCIM, of The Bratton Team. “Partnering with KeyCrew Media is a chance to share what we’ve learned with the investors and owners looking at Hawaii.”

Coverage is underway. KeyCrew’s first articles with Bratton examine who is transacting on Hawaii hotels today, the outlook for the state’s hotel market in 2026, and how hospitality debt and equity is being sourced now. Ahead: multifamily and income-producing assets, and a mainland investor’s guide to Hawaii.

Bratton’s Areas of Expertise Include:

Hawaii Hotel & Resort Investment Sales – Acquisition, disposition, and repositioning of hospitality assets statewide.
Hotel Financing, Debt & Equity – Sourcing first mortgages and equity through competitive lender processes.
Multifamily & Income-Producing Assets – Cash-flowing commercial property for investors prioritizing in-place income over entitlement risk.
Retail & Shopping Center Investment – Two decades of shopping center transaction experience across Hawaii retail.
Mainland Capital Entering Hawaii – Ground lease versus fee simple, union operations, and the realities of a supply-constrained market.
