Institutional Seller Privacy & Security

Asset and Financial Institution Privacy

CRE Note Exchange (CRE Xchange) understands financial institutions requirements and concerns regarding property owner privacy, note/asset details privacy, buyer identity, buyer background and buyer performance and experience assessment, regarding the sales of distressed notes and assets. Such issues include:

  • Federal Patriot Act requirements pertaining the Equity Buyer.
  • Discreet transaction so only a few participants are aware of transaction details.
  • Assuring current property owners distressed status is kept as private as possible.
  • Pre-Qualifying Buyers to verify transactional experience and verification of funds.

CRE Xchange also realizes that in order to efficiently sell in a reasonable period of time, a diverse NPN portfolio encompassing assets strewn across the Nation, comprising of various commercial real estate asset classes (ie: Retail, Industrial, Multi-Unit), requires prior relationships with hundreds if not thousands of local and experienced Equity Buyers.

The challenge thus becomes to efficiently reach out to a multitude of Equity Buyers while maintaining a discreet and secure transaction to satisfy the concerns of financial institutions as outlined above. CRE Xchange has developed such a secure and efficient transactional process to accomplish both of these objectives as outlined in our Asset Trading Desk webpage. The CRE Xchange security and privacy systems, and checks and balances are listed below:
