GMAC Launches 'Cool Tool' for CMBS Professionals

NEW YORK CITY-GMAC Commercial Mortgage, in partnership with Microsoft, Torto Wheaton and Visible Markets, has launched Realpoint, a web-based resource for those who follow commercial mortgage-backed securities. Realpoint provides CMBS information as well as evaluation tools and market data.

NEW YORK CITY-”It’s a cool tool with a seasoned staff of analysts,” says Charlie Dunleavy of RealPoint. “It brings the largest body of commercial mortgage information to one site and combines it with analytical tools.” 25 seasoned analysts, in fact, are behind the scenes at RealPoint who can provide more information than the website already provides. Information provided by RealPoint includes supply and demand statistics by geography and property type, inventory and absorption forecasts, market vacancy, rent and sale comparables, credit tenant research and national economic forecasts.

The site operates on a Microsoft platform. Microsoft brought RealPoint to “market” within 90 days, a record for a financial website with this much information, says Microsoft’s Bill Harnett. “We used our “net” server line–it’s really good enabling technology,” says Harnett. GMACCM’s other partner, Torto Wheaton, will provide comprehensive commercial real estate information. News will also be provided via a link with MSNBC.
