- Transaction Execution & Closing – Support transactions through the closing process by coordinating due diligence, reviewing third-party reports, assisting with lender and investor requirements, and helping facilitate communication among borrowers, lenders, investors, legal counsel, vendors, and internal servicing and insurance teams. Review key transaction documentation and provide input on issues impacting deal execution and borrower interests.
- Research & Market Intelligence – Conduct borrower, property, market, and capital markets research using internal and third-party resources. Research may include ownership records, transaction history, demographic trends, rent and sales comparables, and broader market intelligence to support underwriting, deal strategy, and business development efforts.
