Emily Racki

I have been involved in the real estate industry for over 20 years and commenced my career at L.J Hooker. After graduating from a Bachelor of Property Economics Degree in 2004, I took up a position with the NSW Department of Commerce valuing a number of government owned assets across the state of NSW.

​In 2007, I joined the Colliers Hotels & Leisure Valuation team where I had the opportunity to value a wide cross section of accommodation and leisure type properties, across Australia. In March 2009, I transferred to the Colliers South Sydney team and have been involved in a cross section of commercial, industrial and residential properties, along with the opportunity to value various types of 'Going Concern' properties including hotels, budget accommodation, student accommodation, boarding houses and car parks facilities.

In 2013, I transferred to the Sydney CBD office, where my primary focus is hotels, student accommodation, backpackers and other accommodation properties.

My industry focus has led me to work with a variety of clients in the Hotels & Student Accommodation sector, providing a variety of valuation, advisory and feasibility services. This has exposed me to a suite of unique and exciting 'going concern' properties and projects Australia wide.  

I have been fortunate enough to work across a broad variety of accommodation  assets including boarding houses (traditional and new generation), motels, hotels, resorts, purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA), co-living, car parks and major tourist attractions. 

Learning experiences in the past have included investor management, facilities management, property management and dealing with high-maintenance and  distressed properties.

Keen to assist where I can to help unlock opportunities for owners, operators and parties interested in the accommodation sector. 

Since joining Colliers I have been involved in in providing valuation and brokerage advice on a wide selection of Licensed and Leisure property both in Australia and the Asia Pacific Region.  I have been involved in valuing most of the major Australian Hotel Portfolios and a variety of significant leisure properties including Island Resorts,Golf Courses and Caravan Parks. My career highlights would have to include valuing iconic Australian Resorts such as Ayers Rock and Lizard Island plus some of the top resorts in the world in French Polynesia.
