Carlton typically represents financial institutions and commercial loan servicers who are interested in quickly selling loan and REO assets for an assets' current market value. Overall, Carlton has completed over $80 billion of asset sales, recapitalizations, and refinancings.
Through the Carlton Exchange, Carlton connects sellers and buyers in one central marketplace, providing an instant forum for investors and sellers to do business.
Our CEX website specializes in providing concise due diligence and asset information, so that buyers can make informed decisions. The assets are offered through several different sales formats, including a negotiated sales process, a sealed bid with a date-certain bid date, or through our revolutionary CEX MLS, which is a First Come First Serve Buy Now! process."

CARLTON BUYER DATABASE
As a product of the $80 billion of completed transactions, Carlton has one of the largest and most comprehensive buyer databases in the industry today. This database is continually updated to reflect the most aggressive loan and asset buyers in the secondary market. New investors are sourced through our relationships, advertising programs, bank clients and networking with existing contacts. For all asset types, Carlton has the ability to source the most competitive buyers. For example, although there are numerous hedge funds, niche finance firms and other buyers of non-performing commercial real estate loan assets, Carlton sources local real estate players, land developers still with liquidity and firms that specifically target specific asset types (e.g. limited-stay hotels or land development or strip shopping centers) better than anyone else in the industry. Those specific groups bridge the "bid-ask" gap better than any and are usually the only ones with sufficient exit strategies to effectuate a true top-of-the-market price.
PROVEN PROCESSES
Carlton utilizes sophisticated and competitive loan auction processes that are carried out in multiple phases. All elements are fully managed and controlled by Carlton, which advises clients throughout the entire process. The competitive bid process generates multiple, non-contingent final bids from the most aggressive investors in the market for any given asset class. Through the competitive nature of these processes, loan sellers will receive the highest and best possible "market value" for their loan assets.
EXPERIENCED AND PROFESSIONAL STAFF
Carlton employs a professional and experienced staff for everything from information technology to domain expertise in the collateral being marketed to trading experience, not just as brokers but as principals. As such, Carlton brings much more to the table than just a top-tier database and proven system. Carlton's staff takes its role as a fiduciary to our clients very seriously and negotiates and acts as though the assets being sold are our own.
"TURN-KEY" OPERATION
Carlton handles pre-sale due diligence, extensive marketing, information formatting and distribution, as well assistance with closing coordination between all buyers and sellers.
