SCOTTSDALE, AZ-Thompson National Properties LLC has partnered with SAXA Inc. to form Thompson Southwest Ventures.

The new real estate consulting firm combines TNP’s national platform with SAXA’s regional expertise. It will focus on financial advisory services including receiverships, asset and property management, loan restructuring and acquisitions and dispositions in Arizona and Nevada.
“Our strategy is the same in all markets and that is to have qualified experienced strategic partners to take advantage of whatever the market can give us – that may be fee income, it might mean acquisitions or helping us identify investors who might need our help,” says Tony Thompson, TNP’s chairman and CEO.

Thompson tells GlobeSt.com that TNP has never had a strategic partner in the Phoenix area, but that it has been buying and selling properties there for the past decade or longer. “We like the Phoenix area, and we wanted to take a more strategic position there,” he explains, adding that the firm spent 18 months considering a number of companies and professionals as partners.
