Eastdil Secured Corporate Advisory

Lots of posts on ES. Specifically looking for info about their corporate advisory group. Yes, there is a post on SL for their SF office I'm looking at. 

The team’s primary areas of focus include:

Can anyone with experience with this group explain in layman's terms what the corporate advisory group does over the other service areas: equity sales, financing, loan sales, private equity? Seems more like REIB vs. single asset transactions but don't want to blindly peg it as such.

Don’t have experience with them but it’s worth mentioning that REIB at the old eastdil secured entity (prior to spin out) is now Wells Fargo REIB team.
 

Meaning I’m not sure if you’ll meet a ton of people who have worked with them because it’s my guess is that this is a new team, formed after they lost the Wells REIB team when they were sold.

Honestly that is a pretty broad list of services/transaction types, especially with sale-leasebacks/net lease/ground lease on the list.

I'd venture to guess this is more entity/corp oriented service group (i.e., providing high level service to an organization like REIT or private fund or general corporation) and less of a transaction execution group. Like they may "advise" the firm to sell something, but the actual sale assignment would then be routed to an IS team in the relevant market/product type group and this team would just work with HQ of the client.

CBRE/JLL/etc. have a lot of "corporate services" teams that do this type of structure (generally on the tenant rep side of the house), they service the corp real estate office then delegate the local leasing assignments to the market based brokers (and a big part of fee gets sent to the corp services team, some of which may get rebated to the client). This may be some similar form of this for ES, but the broad menu makes think it is at least part marketing gimmick potentially.
