Because our core business has been sourcing new CMBS debt for existing commercial properties, we have developed a deep understanding of the securitization process and the intricacies involved in how servicers and special servicers manage their portfolios. We also have experience managing prepayment considerations including defeasance and yield maintenance, and the commercial real estate property value complications that have come along 10 years after financing at the peak of our last cycle. It is important to understand that not all CMBS loans are created equal and that terms, spreads, prepayment penalties, leverage, and property valuation considerations vary by provider. As such, it is important to work with a market expert that has no conflict of interest.

Some intermediaries only help borrowers source conduit loans for traditional property types, such as office buildings and apartment buildings, but not us. We help our clients get loans for all kinds of properties, including industrial properties, warehouses, parking garages, marinas, retail properties, mixed use properties, mobile home parks, nursing homes, hospitals, student housing properties and more. Plus, we can also assist clients who want to get CMBS financing for portfolios of properties. CMBS portfolio loans are growing in popularity and a great way for larger businesses to refinance multiple properties while enjoying low interest rates and liberal cash-out restrictions.

CMBS intermediaries that were built over the last two decades don’t have the same tools we have today. Welcome to the future of CMBS financing for commercial properties. A world in which we can leverage gigabit internet speeds to source quotes and set lenders against each other to secure the best terms for our clients. Sophisticated valuation tools and a rolodex of Wall Street conduit lenders give us a competitive edge over other one-source shops. Apply today to find out how much better your CMBS loan terms should be.

In today’s market, most conduit lenders, and many larger brokerage and advisor services service their own loans. Many borrowers never consider the implications of this. Every 10 basis points your CMBS lender increases your spread by equates to a 1% bump to their bottom line and off yours. That means if a broker or lender charges you a 1% fee and and earns an extra 30 bps in the spread by making a biased decision, they are potentially earning an additional 3% on your loan. The higher your rate is, the more the servicers, brokers, and lenders profit.
