ABBOTSFORD, British Columbia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Phantom Screens, an award-winning manufacturer of high-quality retractable screens, is marking a milestone; three decades of making life better for homeowners across North America. Phantom’s retractable screens allow customers to truly enjoy all the comforts of home. Offering insect protection to solar shading to temperature control or enhanced privacy, Phantom Screens can do it all.

To celebrate, Phantom Screens has partnered with Habitat for Humanity Greater Vancouver and will be donating $75,000, which will be used towards building affordable housing at a new 39-townhome community in Coquitlam, BC.

“We are thrilled to renew this important partnership with Habitat for Humanity for the second time,” says Phantom Screens’ CEO C. Esther De Wolde. “Through this program, we are able to support Habitat’s mission through a combination of Goods In Kind (door screens on the townhomes) and cash. It’s pretty exciting to know we can help these families enjoy their homes even more, by delivering fresh air by creating a cross-breeze that negates the need for installing expensive A/C.”

A leader in the industry, Phantom Screens acknowledges that the company’s longevity and growth couldn’t have been achieved without the strong relationships we have built over the years. We want to thank our employees and Network Partners, including our distributors and installers, our vendors, and our valued customers who have stood by us. Although times have been tough over the past two years for many, we are incredibly grateful — without each of you we wouldn’t be where we are today.

Giving back is something the organization feels very passional about. To speak the truth, to serve each other, to pursue excellence, to practice stewardship — those are the things that are important to us. Phantom Screens has succeeded over the last 30 years by following a simple philosophy: making life better. Simply put, the Phantom Experience is based on putting people’s well-being first; that means treating everyone who we come in contact with, with respect. It’s a formula that’s worked well for us, because frankly we love what we make, we love who we serve, and we love to make life better – one screen at time.

Product Innovation: Drawing from decades of experience, Phantom Screens has designed its products to be a sustainable and environmentally friendly solution that are simple yet functional. Whether its our retractable screens for doors or windows, or our motorized retractable screens for patios, Phantom Screens keeps those pesky bugs, pests, harsh UV rays and debris out so you can enjoy your home, whether you’re indoors or outdoors!

Best of all, they feature user-friendly aesthetic that seamlessly disappears when no longer needed into the frames of windows, doors, and even outdoor living spaces with recessed pilar and frame options as well as a mounted options. Building on its legacy of personalized products and service, Phantom Screens continues to give architects, builders, and homeowners the flexibility to customize each window, door and opening with innovative retractable screens to achieve their project’s vision.

About Phantom Screens: In 1992, a unique brand of retracting screens was introduced to the North American marketing by Dutch immigrant, Syb Rypma. He soon formed a partnership with Abbotsford’s Rooke family in Abbotsford, BC and together they rented space in a garage. Phantom Screens was born.

Today, the award-winning company is recognized across North America, and internationally, for making homes better with market-leading retractable screen solutions for doors, windows, multi-panel systems and outdoor spaces. For 30 years, the company has placed a high value on its employees as part of a long-standing commitment to product excellence and customer satisfaction.

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.

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.

He said, “We were honored that the buyer looked to us to help them acquire a premier portfolio and put it in the hands of one of the top operators in the country.” In speaking further about CareTrust’s lending strategy, Mr. Sedgwick explained, “For us, lending is an important tool we use primarily to strengthen relationships with top operators with an eye towards future equity investments.”

The loan was funded with proceeds from CareTrust’s $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility.

TORONTO & NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Real Brokerage Inc. (“Real” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: REAX) (TSXV: REAX), an international, technology-powered real estate brokerage, today announced the launch of its new website, OneReal.com, an interactive real estate listings portal aimed at consumers.

The site features in-depth search functionality that allows users to find properties to buy, sell or rent based on the following criteria: location, price, home type, number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms and amenities. The site also enables users to search for agents by name or location.

“This is an exciting move for Real as we move toward speaking directly to consumers,” said Real Chairman and CEO Tamir Poleg. “We have long been the best brokerage for agents—offering industry-leading splits, a fully integrated platform and a collaborative culture—but OneReal.com is our initial step in bringing Real to the consumer-facing real estate space.”

By capturing the information of consumers looking for a partner in the real estate journey, OneReal.com provides an added lead generation resource for its agents looking to grow their businesses. The company’s existing website, JoinReal.com, has been revamped to speak directly to agent attraction and provides significant information about Real as a brokerage and how agents can benefit.

The investor section of the site, investors.onereal.com, has also migrated to OneReal.com. This section provides key information and reports that investors and potential investors will be interested in.
