Real Estate Investment Advisory Firm Announces Repositioning to a Business-to-Business Provider of Financial Services to Establish Standardized Global Rating System.

LOS ANGELES, January 9, 2015 - Real Estate Capital Management (RECM) announces new business model. Since 2002, the firm has served as a real estate investment advisor to real estate fund managers, developers and owner/operators in the Americas, Asia/Pacific and Europe regions. RECM's new business model repositions the firm as a global business-to-business provider of real estate financial services. Clients will range from banks, broker dealers, investment banks, investment advisors, institutional investors and real estate firms.

“Today's global real estate markets have experienced vast changes in an unprecedented short period of time“ states Alan Daniels, Chairman/CEO. RECM will provide new financing solutions, standardized risk management and aftermarket support needed to address the industries widespread inefficiencies. “We've identified the unique opportunity to address these inefficiencies by repositioning RECM from transaction advisor to an objective third party provider of financial services. This enables RECM to function as an aggregator and facilitator for all issuers and investors." says Daniels.

RECM’s transition from a transaction advisory firm to an objective third party facilitator places the firm in a unique and strategic position. Daniels states, “Unlike most asset classes, real estate is at a disadvantage due to lack of international standardized valuation methods and risk profile ratings. More than ever before local markets are impacted by access to global institutional investors. Without standardization, investors are at a disadvantage ultimately limiting access to capital at the local level. Disintermediation creates inefficient markets. The most qualified group to address the inefficiencies is a firm that has actually sourced, underwritten, advised and placed product and capital for both issuers and investors.”

Due to robust fees associated with the per transaction fee model, RECM will be the first international real estate advisory firm that has transitioned to an objective facilitator. RECM is committed to improving the investment and aftermarket process by establishing a standardized globally integrated investment platform. RECM will enable clients to apply strict standardization to: vetting transactions, debt-coverage-ratios, return parameters, management qualifications as well as issue investor protection and risk profile ratings. In addition, RECM will provide products that enable issuers to ensure revenues are collected and distributed accordingly.

"We are extremely excited about the repositioning and industry-wide benefits to our clients. The upcoming creative marketing campaign will highlight the core advantages and time-lines for new product releases. The campaign will be launched in Fall 2013 and will include television, online and print media initiatives." states Ken Mack-Solden, Chief Marketing Officer.

RECM's suite of products and services address the industries inefficiencies by enabling issuers and investors to structure transactions utilizing a standardized platform, thus ensuring global access to capital and liquidity. "Established and emerging markets are affected by lack of standardized valuation methods and underwriting criteria. Real estate markets will remain stagnant as the number of defaults increase from limited access to new capital and inefficient secondary markets. The real estate financing manual has to be re-written and RECM is prepared to play a significant role in authoring the new release" says Daniels.
