Frequently asked questions
How does Greystone Financial Group originate its real estate loans?
Greystone originates commercial real estate credit directly through its in-house team, rather than acquiring loans in the secondary market or syndicating lead positions to other lenders. The firm underwrites each asset's cash flows, property condition, and sponsor experience using its own credit committee. This direct origination model allows it to maintain granular control over credit quality and portfolio composition.
Is Greystone primarily a balance-sheet lender or an agency lender?
Greystone operates as both. It is consistently ranked among the top multifamily lenders for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which involves originating and selling agency-eligible loans while retaining a risk-sharing portion on its balance sheet. For assets that do not meet agency criteria — such as bridge loans, transitional properties, or specialized healthcare facilities — the firm provides direct balance-sheet financing.
What property types and sectors does Greystone target?
The firm concentrates on multifamily apartments and healthcare properties, including skilled nursing, assisted living, and medical office buildings. It generally avoids retail, hospitality, and office assets outside of medical use. This specialization means its credit performance is tied to housing demand and healthcare demographics rather than broad commercial real estate cycles.
Does Greystone securitize the loans it originates?
No, Greystone typically does not aggregate loans into commercial mortgage-backed securities. It holds agency loans under its risk-sharing tranche and retains the entirety of its balance-sheet bridge and healthcare loans. This retention aligns the firm's incentives with long-term loan performance and avoids the originate-to-distribute model common among Wall Street-backed lenders.
How does Greystone's servicing business complement its lending?
Greystone maintains a large servicing portfolio that generates recurring fee revenue from loans it has originated. By servicing the loans it underwrites, the firm retains a direct line of sight into borrower performance, property operations, and emerging credit issues. This vertical integration from origination through maturity creates operational efficiencies and provides early warning signals on portfolio stress.
