Do you know of an individual or company that has made significant contributions to commercial real estate through their creative financing efforts? Have you worked with a debt and equity firm that has seamlessly navigated through a difficult transaction in the industry? Do you know of a professional with an impressive understanding of the industry that deserves to be recognized for their work in finance?
As global CRE investment flows continuously shift and consumers view uncertain times in real estate, debt and equity professionals continue to create financing opportunities, both large and small, for clients to benefit from the industry.
Throughout this cycle, a wealth of capital has been flowing into CRE. While loan originations encompass much of the financing, the middleman and middlewoman are often underappreciated, as they seamlessly arrange debt and equity for major transactions. These individuals and firms structure deals while meeting the needs of both borrowers and lenders.
While lending sources continue to proliferate, deal structures have become more complicated, with new rules, regulations, sources and partnerships generating all of the time. These professionals have acquired a deep understanding of the industry's ins and outs, allowing the ability to effortlessly navigate the often uncertain and complicated markets.
For GlobeSt. Real Estate Forum's next influencer series, we are looking to acknowledge and praise the people and firms who have helped arrange and place debt and equity offerings in commercial real estate. Not only will we recognize individual pioneers who have made a noticeable industry impact through their efforts, but we will additionally highlight entire organizations, as well as teams and groups within relevant companies that have become crucial to the industry.
Chosen influencers will be profiled in a prominent feature in the January/February issue of Real Estate Forum and online at GlobeSt.com.
The deadline for nominations is October 11th. To apply, click here.
