Calgary-Based Real Estate Team to be Led by Co-Founder Jared Chamberlain

TORONTO & NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$REAX #therealbrokerage–The Real Brokerage Inc. (“Real” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: REAX) (TSXV: REAX), an international, technology-powered real estate brokerage, today announced that the Chamberlain Group, based in Calgary, Alberta, is joining its growing network of agents.

The Chamberlain Group was founded by Jared and Rebecca Chamberlain in 2009. In 2018, the couple started an independent, boutique real estate brokerage, a move which helped shape their strategy for helping agents to grow their businesses. In 2021, the group closed $182 million in volume, and has already surpassed that number by closing $185 million in 2022 YTD.

“Running an independent brokerage took a lot of administrative energy on the backend, and it kept us from focusing on the areas of the business where we could deliver the most value,” said Jared Chamberlain. “By joining Real, we can reclaim that time and energy, shift our focus, and be more intentional about the ways in which we support our agents’ growth. Real’s integrated technology makes it easy for us to concentrate on agent success.”

The Chamberlain Group also prides itself on lead generation through search engine optimization and social media marketing. The team, made up of 17 agents, looks forward to working in collaboration with Real’s existing agent population, some of whom are known in the industry for their marketing savvy.

“We are excited to count The Chamberlain Group as one of our newest Canadian teams,” said Real Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Tamir Poleg. “Alberta continues to be a growing market for us, and we look forward to welcoming a group that’s committed to the success of its agents. We are confident that Jared and his team will serve the buyers and sellers in the province with excellence.”

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Romspen Investment Corporation, a leading non-bank provider of commercial mortgage solutions in Canada and the United States, today announced it is launching a new Canadian-dollar feeder fund for its U.S. master mortgage fund. The Romspen US Mortgage Investment Trust will provide qualified Canadian investors with access to the master fund’s portfolio of U.S. commercial mortgages. The new fund is also designed to be a qualified investment for registered plans.

“Our decision to introduce what is essentially a Canadian-dollar version of our existing U.S.-dollar feeder fund is driven by increasing demand from Canadian investors seeking the stable net returns offered by our U.S. master fund,” says Derek Jenkin, a Romspen managing partner.

Romspen’s master U.S. fund holds a diversified commercial mortgage portfolio and has a five-year history of producing steady returns for income-seeking investors. For an overview of Romspen’s U.S.-dollar feeder fund, click here.

“2022 has been defined by economic uncertainty, with more and more investors seeking ‘safe harbours’ of the kind that Romspen has historically provided to help weather these difficult times,” says Jenkin. “Romspen’s funds don’t rely on leverage to boost returns. All our mortgage loans are carefully underwritten to ensure a margin of safety, and are well diversified across regions, sub-markets and property types.”

Romspen’s mandate is to provide consistent returns while protecting investor capital. Over the past 10 years, its flagship Romspen Mortgage Investment Fund has delivered an average annualized net yield to investors of 7.6%.

Features of the new Romspen US Mortgage Investment Trust:

• Feeder fund of the master U.S. fund, which is primarily invested in short- and medium-term (typically 6 months to 2 years) first mortgage loans in the United States across various property types, including industrial, residential development, condominiums, hospitality, office and retail
• The U.S. master fund has delivered annualized net returns of 8%-10%, since its inception in August 2017 through June 2022
• Available to qualified Canadian investors
• Denominated in Canadian dollars
• Structured to qualify for most registered plans, including RRSPs and TFSAs
• Hedged to protect against CAD/USD fluctuations
• Intended to generate monthly cash distributions for investors, with a distribution reinvestment option.

The new fund will be available through select investment advisors or by contacting Romspen at 416-966-1100 or InvestorRelations@romspen.com.

Company has sold more than $150 million worth of homes in Ottawa, Toronto and Sudbury following $34 million seed funding round

OTTAWA, Ontario–(BUSINESS WIRE)–PropTech innovator Unreserved today announced that it has entered the residential real estate market in Windsor, Ontario. Unreserved addresses consumers’ biggest pain points when buying and selling a home by leveraging their proprietary technology that provides 100% transparency to buyers while maximizing the upside for sellers. Investors in the $34M seed round earlier this year – the largest in Canadian history – included CEO Ryan O’Connor, Chairman of the Board and former CEO of Royal Lepage Simon Dean, technology investor Jason Chapnik of Intercap, and numerous real estate professionals.

“Windsor is a key market for us as we expand our presence in Ontario and throughout Canada,” O’Connor says. “Local home buyers and sellers have been hurt by a lack of transparency in the residential real estate market because so many aspects of pricing and transactions are kept hidden from them. Our approach is about openness through technology that empowers everyone to have full information to make informed decisions. This is the future of the real estate industry, and we are proud to bring it to Windsor.”

The process starts with a seller requesting a home appraisal and a team of Unreserved listing experts working with them to confirm their target price and closing dates. As a full-service real-estate company, Unreserved offers construction, staging, marketing, and promotion to help attract qualified buyers with specialized photos and video walkthroughs of a given listing. Open houses and private showings are coordinated with verified buyers to ramp up interest. Home inspection reports and market comparables are provided publicly on the listing page, and, most importantly, everyone can watch a transparent bidding process unfold right in front of them. Unreserved is also offering an industry-first, 12-month warranty on homes sold on its platform.

Scottsdale-based Walton Global acquires the historic Smoke Tree Resort Property

PARADISE VALLEY, Ariz.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Walton Global, a real estate investment and land asset management company with US$3.6 billion under management, is pleased to announce its acquisition of the Smoke Tree Resort property located west of Scottsdale Road on Lincoln Drive in the Town of Paradise Valley, Arizona.

The deal closed on June 29, 2022, with ST Holdings, a subsidiary of Scottsdale-based Walton Global Holding, LLC. Walton acquired the 5-acre property for $14 million with plans to build a new boutique hotel that will serve locals and support Arizona tourism.

Walton intends to incorporate an elegance in the new design that Paradise Valley is known for and avoid controversial elements that have challenged Smoke Tree and other hotel redevelopments in the past such as roof top bars, condominiums, for-sale units, height, density and other concerns that have hampered revitalization efforts in the past.

The distinctive and strategically positioned property was subject to bankruptcy and now has fresh opportunities and a renewed sense of optimism.

“As a Paradise Valley resident for 15 years, I have driven past the Smoke Tree Resort often wondering why it sat dormant for so many years. When Walton was introduced to the opportunity to acquire the resort and learned about its financial challenges, we acted quickly, conducted our diligence and secured the property. I’m excited about our goal to revive this historic landmark into a place that Paradise Valley residents and Phoenix as a whole can point to again as a prime destination to experience that also meets the high standards of the community’s ethic,” said Walton Global executive vice president of Business Development, Matt Keister.

The Smoke Tree Resort was originally built in 1954. The resort’s Lincoln Drive facing restaurant – The Other Place – was also a Paradise Valley landmark but attempts to reopen under new management ultimately failed and the restaurant has been shuttered for over a decade.

Walton is already surrounding itself with “best in class” professionals including Allen & Philp, an architectural firm based in Scottsdale with an exceptional hotel portfolio that includes The Sanctuary, The Boulders, Fairmont Princess, and several other award-winning hotel properties.

“I believe Walton’s vision will be consistent with Paradise Valley’s wishes and sensitivities and our capital is patient. It is extremely important to us to listen to the Town of Paradise Valley Council and the community before we finalize our designs. We are looking forward to achieving a consensus that will result in an extraordinary gathering place for the residents of Paradise Valley that will also produce economic benefits for the Town and Arizona,” said Walton Global CEO Bill Doherty.

Walton intends to reach out to Paradise Valley residents to solicit input before hotel design plans are finalized.

“Feedback we receive from surrounding residents will be integrated into the future vision of the new hotel. And to ensure that transparency and communication remains open throughout the project’s evolution, we will be creating platforms such as a website and social media sites to post routine updates. We want our Town to embrace the project and to be proud of what we feel is the gateway to Paradise Valley,” Keister said.
