Testimonials

REAL CAPITAL MARKETS® has worked with thousands of brokers, principals, and lenders. Hear what our customers have to say.

“In this heated capital environment, it’s only prudent to employ RCM’s resources, especially since every buyer group is currently in play. I call it my ‘sleep at night’ marketing program, and it’s what I would use to sell my own property. I’ve employed RCM successfully over the last couple of years and highly recommend it.”

Kevin Shannon
President, West Coast Capital Markets

“Having used Real Capital Markets on several assignments, our team has been extremely impressed by the responsive service and quality of product produced by RCM, as well as the increased target market provided by RCM’s extensive database of buyers. On a recent transaction that threatened to be extremely challenging, we generated 12 offers.”

George Eckard
Executive Director Capital Markets
Cushman & Wakefield

“We have been using Real Capital Markets for about six months now. I was wooed to using RCM after I joint listed a deal with Sherman and Aust, who had been using them for some time. The immediate benefits are (1) 10-12 new investors added to each deal; (2) greater flexibility with security levels in the ‘digital war room’; (3) quicker, more flexible downloads. P.S. I am not getting ‘kickbacks’ from RCM!”

Chris Toci
Executive Director
Cushman & Wakefield

“RCM is the first internet service that we have found that enhances our sales process through targeted market coverage, rapid dissemination, and professional presentation. Our experience with web listing services was that they elicited few responses and were perceived as a last resort for properties that had already been shopped. In contrast, RCM integrates with our process, buyers respond to it, and there is no negative connotation.”

David Noonan
Senior Managing Director
Newmark Knight Frank

“On behalf of our client – our team at CBRE was using another online platform to list/market properties for sale when it was discovered that they were going out of business. We needed to identify an alternative solution to present to our client. The alternative needed to be implemented very quickly, without error, and be cost effective. RCM built us a one stop shop website, containing all property data, bidder instruction & documents, and broker contacts. The RCM Virtual Environment provides endless opportunities to cast the net. The site allows registered users to see all available properties for sale within the portfolio. We found our solution in RCM. 30 minute property set up in the RCM system and it’s live!”

John Spratley
Managing Director
CBRE

“We have worked with RCM for many years. Just recently, we were approached by the RCM team about a listing engine. We needed something that would showcase our properties to fullest ability yet allow investors to easily navigate through to view the details of the properties they had interest in. The RCM Listing Engine was the solution we were looking for offering a custom design that encompassed everything we wanted and needed in a website. This user-friendly site lets us add and update our property listings as they move along in the sales process. We have never been more pleased with RCM!”

Jon Kleinberg
Managing Director
Transwestern

“Real Capital Markets web-based platform provides an intuitive, orderly, and simple way to securely share marketing materials and documentation for our sale assets regardless of location and time. RCM helps our team to facilitate large transactions by accelerating the transaction timeline with marketing efficiency and a secure data room vault. RCM’s transparency and sophisticated reporting system has proven to be a strong asset for our team.”

Matt Midura
Senior Director National Accounts

“Very happy. Ecstatic! I think the wholesale process is enhanced by your medium. You can quote me on that and I am happy to tell my brothers within Colliers the same.”

Kevin Van Voorhis
Senior Vice President
Colliers International

“The combination of RCM’s flash presentation and web-based war room allowed us to provide our clients with exceptional service. RCM’s real-time tracking, reporting, and other tools allowed our team in San Francisco to more effectively control the flow of information and enabled us to provide real time feedback to our clients throughout the entire transaction. We were very pleased with RCM’s superior customer service and look forward to using them in our future deals.”

“Real Capital Markets has made exceptional upgrades to their landing page function.  Several choices of visually striking templates are now offered so whether I am looking for sleek, modern or classic designs, they are a click away.  The ease of use while setting up property information on the landing page is such a time saver and the end product is clean and sophisticated.  It provides a simple format for the client to navigate and that is extremely important to us.  I have been using Real Capital Markets for several years to successfully market our properties with amazing results and the Real Capital Markets support services offered throughout the process are second to none.  I have been coached through all of the different aspects of my listing preparation and all questions are answered courteously and without delay.”

Michelle Lungren

“The new RCM landing page templates are very easy to use and visually give the impression of a high-end website. They are easy to populate and I like that everything is streamlined into one main landing page, so investors can scroll through and have all the information displayed before them.  It is nice that there are several different layouts to choose from to help differentiate multiple investment listings being offered at the same time.”
