Bridger Commercial Funding is the banking industry's gateway to the commercial real estate capital markets, providing liquidity to over 1,700 banks nationwide. As banking's premier source of secondary market origination and trading solutions, Bridger gives banks ready access to the secondary mortgage market as a balance sheet management strategy that efficiently reallocates risk.
Through the company's CMBS loan origination program, banks boost financial performance by generating substantial fee income while retaining and enhancing borrower relationships. In addition, Bridger's BankXchange® platform optimizes banks' loan portfolio risk profiles and returns by serving as a Loan Sales Advisor and facilitating purchases and sales of loan portfolios, whole loans and participations. In its nine-year history, Bridger has funded and securitized over $3.9 billion in bank-originated CMBS loans. To date, BankXchange® has traded over $270 million in seasoned commercial real estate debt.
Bridger is committed to helping banks build their borrower relationships. In contrast to other securitization programs, Bridger's program enables banks to sell loans in the secondary commercial mortgage market while preserving the primary relationship with the borrower. Bridger is not a direct lender and does not compete for its clients' borrowers. Plus, only Bridger's clients can originate the industry's most innovative fixed-rate product - The STAR Loan®.
Bridger's competitive advantage is driven by:
- Superior client service.
- A broad array of products that support banks' ability to maximize fee income and manage balance sheet exposure.
- Innovative and flexible loan structuring. (See our Loan Parameters)
- Leading edge technology that streamlines loan origination from pricing to closing, and seasoned loan trading.
- Commercial bank focus.
