Helping You Synergize Your Investments with the Modern Financial Landscape

Human beings tend to excel in many different areas, and yet there is nothing we do better than growing on a consistent basis. This progressive approach, on our part, has already got the world to hit upon some huge milestones, with technology appearing as a major member of the stated group. The reason why technology enjoys such an esteemed stature among people is, by and large, predicated upon its skill-set, which ushered us towards a reality that nobody could have ever imagined otherwise. Nevertheless, if we look up close for a second, it will become clear how the whole runner was also very much inspired from the way we applied those skills across a real world environment. The latter component was, in fact, what gave the creation a spectrum-wide presence, and consequentially, kickstarted a tech revolution. Of course, this revolution then went on to scale up the human experience through some outright unique avenues, but even after achieving such a monumental feat, technology will somehow continue to produce the right goods. The same has grown increasingly evident over the recent past, and assuming one new fintech-themed development shakes out just like we envision, it will only make that trend bigger and better moving forward.

CrowdStreet, an award-winning online real estate investing platform, has officially confirmed the intention to launch a. new broker model in the coming weeks. According to certain reports, the model will mark a major moment in CrowdStreet’s journey, considering it is expected to help the company transform from a mere online marketplace to a full-fledged financial institution. But what will the new model actually do? Well, although CrowdStreet has always focused on delivering access to a range of high quality investment opportunities and online tools needed to manage those investments, the brand-new CrowdStreet Capital LLC will try to bring a value proposition that directly benefits the investors, while simultaneously making sure that the services have a much wider reach than just institutional investors and ultra-high-net-worth individuals. Hold on, that’s not all. The stated offering is also set to be complimented by a host of related enhancements. Talk about these enhancements in a bit more detail, we begin from the prospect of Escrow Account Functionality, which will help you establish complete oversight and control over investor funds. Releasing the funds in question only upon confirmation of closing milestones, the feature will bear the responsibility to conceive greater user security throughout the operation. Next up, we have Individual Accreditation Verification. Here, the idea is to eliminate the need for investors to seek verification from a third-party. Not just that, it also extends the validity of verifications from 90 days to one year, thus saving investors a big chunk of their time. Beyond that, CrowdStreet further made a point to introduce various operational improvements. This includes additional review, vetting, and approval processes for sponsors and deals. On a practical note, though, the stated improvements translate to  new and more rigorous diligence requirements, review of offering materials, confirmation of final loan documents prior to releasing escrow, examination of all closing documents with a closing attorney, more robust security infrastructure, and the integration of a licensed Investor Relations staff.

“As an early investor in CrowdStreet, I’ve seen the company transform from a pure software and marketplace company to one that offers its own solutions, funds, and privately managed accounts. After earning FINRA’s designation in 2022 and after more than a year of implementing new operational standards, we’re excited that investors will soon experience our new-and-improved offerings as a broker-dealer,” said Dino Vendetti, a member of CrowdStreet’s Board of Directors.

Founded in 2013, CrowdStreet is today the nation’s largest online private real estate investing platform. The company’s excellence in what it does can also be validated by the fact that, since launching its marketplace in 2014, it has served more than 300,000 investors. In terms of monetary value, CrowdStreet has exceeded $4 billion worth of invested capital.
