On May 12th, 2011 from 10:00a.m. to 2:00 p.m. CAM’s CEO Leonard Manriquez will be conducting a training event for the orange county chapter of NAHREP. The education will be held at the National University. 3390 Harbor Boulevard Santa Ana, California 92704

If you want to learn more about commercial real estate than this is an event you should attend. This will be a no nonsense basic commercial training. It covers some of the information that is taught in our CRE 101 course.

Leonard Manriquez, Comments ” I believe that NAHREP has a unique opportunity with their network of chapters to help their residential agents learn more about commercial real estate and ultimately send them back out to the communities helping clients with commercial real estate sales.”

The Real Estate Banking Group provides a broad range of real estate financial products to well-capitalized commercial and residential real estate developers, operators, and investors, such as privately held companies, real estate funds, and public and private real estate investment trusts.
These products include senior secured and unsecured debt on a recourse and non-recourse basis, as well as mezzanine debt and structured debt products.

LeeAnn Axcel has just been appointed as the new Business Development Officer to Commercial Asset Management. She brings to CAM years of experience working within the Distressed real estate markets.  Her new position will primarily be selecting  our new broker partners and helping them get started with CAM.  The current commercial real estate markets are still suffering and doors are opening for asset management firms that specializes on the CRE markets.  What we have learned is that much of the small balance commercial markets can be serviced by the residential practioner, but find that they need the proper training. As a result, CAM is recruiting but more importantly using their skills and expertise to provide their broker partners quality education that will set them apart from the competition and help us best service our Lender clients with their distressed notes or assets. If you are interested in coming on board with us and would like to find out more about how to earn the commercial distressed assets specialist designation, Contact Ms. Axcell.                      leeann@cam4reo.com.
