Hey,
I was wondering if anyone has any experience with NorthMarq Capital. I cannot find much in terms of culture, experience, comp, exit ops, etc for an analyst or associate there. They claim to be a REIB, but it looks more like a mortgage lender?
Any information that you guys might have would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

It isn't a mortgage lender, but I don't consider it a REIB either. It's more of a conglomerate. Really, the primary strength of Northmarq is its servicing and management business. It manages the Class A office space I'm sitting in right now and has a strong portfolio of contracts.
I have no idea as to the compensation, but he reputation is very strong in the upper MW (from Minneapolis to Chicago). It's owned by the Pohlad family (owns the Minnesota Twins) and is used in conjunction with United Properties (the principal RE investment arm).
But, as you noticed, they do make RE loans and advise on sales or purchases. That service line is a disciple of the old Marquette Financial Holdings, from which the Pohlads' made their money. It's the same as Marquette Capital, the well-known MM mezz fund.
Excellent post as usual, peinvestor2254.

I'm an Investment Analyst at NorthMarq. Solid company, but not quite sure I would consider us a REIB. Don't do any actual lending, we help developers/managers/etc. raise capital/acquire a commercial mortgage/etc. Also a large revenue stream comes from the servicing portfolio.
Real Estate Investment Banking: Northmarq capital - Thoughts (Originally Posted: 09/28/2007)
What are your thoughts on real estate investment banking? Are there good banks out there that do this other then the BBs? Ever heard of Northmarq capital?
be wary of any non-wall street firms that claim to specialize in "real estate i-banking"
prospie - will you please elaborate?
northmarq serves as a perfect example, it appears. the 1st four 'featured deals' are mortgages. i stopped reading after that.

Anyone have any experience with this group? I have an upcoming interview to work as a debt analyst, curious if anyone has feedback on reputation, deal flow, culture, etc. Thanks!
Good rep. Intermediaries like HFF and the like... find debt and equity for deals.. not too sure if they are involved in selling buildings. Deal flow would be dependent on the team and area.
I would run a search on your city's biznow, or other RE sites that might have press releases, news, etc on deals they were recently involved in. Should give you a better idea of what this office focuses on and their current deal flow... probably would be good to know everything about the heads of office, because they are the ones running the show, so know their work history and the big deals they've been a part of.
Mostly reiterating what was said above. NorthMarq is a mortgage banking firm, i.e. they are brokers who help borrowers source capital. Like any brokerage, if you're working as an analyst your experience is going to be 100% dependent on your team.
Some NorthMarq teams kick ass and take names, some don't. On the whole, I think they're solid and enjoy dealing with them. Most likely, you'd be staffed in an office where you'd have a couple strong producers that you could learn a ton from, and a couple other guys who aren't as hot. Feel free to PM me if you want more info.
Thanks for the feedback. Do they not have the resources or relationships to fund larger transactions? It seems that they are frequently edged out by HFF and Eastdil in major markets. In brokerage, this shortcoming may manifest as less research/comps, dollars for marketing, etc. How does the same shortcoming play out on the debt/equity finance side?
I'm surprised they haven't merged with a / into a larger firm yet. Stand alone brokerage model is slowly dying.
