Frequently asked questions
Who ran investment decisions at RealtyShares?
CEO and co-founder Nav Athwal led the firm, overseeing deal sourcing, underwriting, and platform strategy. The investment team vetted sponsor credentials and property-level risk before listing offerings. Athwal previously worked in real estate acquisitions at the Meridian Group.
How did RealtySources source proprietary deal flow?
The firm relied on a network of experienced real estate sponsors who submitted deals for platform listing. RealtyShares did not originate its own properties — it screened sponsor-managed investments across asset types. The platform model created a marketplace rather than a fund pipeline.
What happened to RealtyShares in 2020?
RealtyShares ceased originating new investments in 2020 and began winding down operations. The company had faced slower deal flow and regulatory pressure following the SEC's increased scrutiny of crowdfunding platforms. As of 2025, the firm's website no longer functions, and no new investment opportunities are available.
