Fred M. Luberto is the Founder of The Luberto Group and FML Hospitality Advisory, specializing in hospitality business sales, acquisitions, consulting, and commercial real estate throughout New Jersey, New York, and the greater metropolitan market.
Fred brings more than four decades of hands-on hospitality experience as an owner, operator, entrepreneur, and advisor. Unlike traditional intermediaries, Fred has personally experienced the challenges of building companies, leading teams, serving customers, managing growth, navigating market changes, and ultimately transitioning a business.
Throughout his career, Fred has been involved in restaurants, catering operations, corporate dining, private aviation catering, luxury events, and hospitality consulting. His companies have served some of the region’s most demanding clients, including major corporations, luxury brands, professional sports organizations, developers, executives, and high-net-worth individuals.
This background provides clients with a practical perspective that goes beyond financial statements. Fred understands operations, staffing, customer relationships, profitability, branding, and the emotional considerations involved when owners evaluate their future.
The Luberto Group was created to provide hospitality owners with a higher level of advisory service focused on:
• Protecting confidentiality
• Understanding true business value
• Preparing businesses for transition
• Finding qualified buyers
• Structuring successful transactions
• Preserving owner legacy
Many hospitality businesses are family-owned companies built over decades. Fred believes those businesses deserve thoughtful guidance from someone who understands the commitment, sacrifice, and pride required to build them.
For buyers and investors, The Luberto Group provides access to hospitality opportunities with a deeper understanding of operations, growth potential, and long-term value creation.
Fred's mission is simple:
To help hospitality owners make informed decisions, maximize opportunities, and successfully navigate the next chapter of their business journey.
