Bielat Santore & Company

What Bielat Santore & Company does

Bielat Santore & Company is a privately held commercial real estate brokerage founded in 1981 and headquartered in Allenhurst, New Jersey. The firm specializes exclusively in the sale, acquisition, and financing of restaurants and hospitality properties, serving restaurant owners, operators, buyers, and investors primarily within New Jersey. Its core offering is full-service brokerage across buying, selling, and financing of restaurants and hospitality venues, supplemented by expertise in SBA programs, commercial lending, and private equity deal structuring. The firm reports having facilitated over $500 million in financing cumulatively across its 45-year operating history.

The company's differentiated assets are its proprietary Branded Selling Cycle methodology for managing restaurant transactions and a content platform targeting hospitality business owners. The platform includes the 'Restaurant Owners' Edge' podcast series (launched April 2026 with monthly episodes on financing, valuation, sale preparation, and acquisitions) and 'The Little Black Book on Small Business Financing,' a reference handbook with its 2026 edition released in mid-2026. These educational products serve both as lead-generation assets and as positioning tools in the niche.

Bielat Santore operates as a small boutique (1-10 employees) with a sales-led, relationship-driven go-to-market executed by experienced hospitality brokers (e.g., Robert Gillis with 28 years of industry experience). Revenue is generated through transaction-based commissions on restaurant and hospitality real estate deals, with no disclosed pricing schedules, recurring contracts, or financial performance metrics. Recent completed transactions include Woody's Ocean Grille in Sea Bright (sold to RBC Hospitality Group), The Ark in Point Pleasant Beach, and Victory Bar & Grill in West Berlin.
