OPM Exchange isn't built by a tech company looking for a vertical. It's built and operated by a collective of CRE developers, attorneys, brokers, lenders, title professionals, and servicing experts who have spent decades doing this work.
Most CRE platforms are built by founders from one corner of the industry. OPM Exchange was assembled deliberately to cover every seat at the closing table.
Active operators with millions of square feet under management. People who have actually closed distressed acquisitions, conversions, and value-add bridges in this market.
Private lenders, family offices, and credit professionals who have underwritten and funded hundreds of first-lien commercial mortgages. They know what makes a deal lender-ready.
Licensed CRE brokers with active books of business across the Midwest. The people who built our broker-protected pay structure are brokers themselves.
Real estate, finance, and securities counsel. The legal framework — operating agreements, subscription docs, mortgage forms, escrow agreements — is built by people who draft them every day.
Title agents and underwriters who handle commercial closings every week. They built our closing process around what actually works at the local register of deeds.
Loan servicers and asset managers who have run portfolios through good cycles and bad. The default playbook, workout protocols, and reporting standards are theirs.
Lender funds flow through licensed third-party escrow, never through OPM Exchange. We are a marketplace, not a fund. This isolates platform risk from capital and keeps every deal cleanly structured.
We earn from sponsors at close, not from lender yield. 100% of the negotiated interest rate goes directly to the capital provider. No markup, no haircut, no surprises in the K-1.
Most platforms cut brokers out the moment a deal closes. We do the opposite. Submit a deal, lock in 24-month tagging, charge your own points, get paid at funding. The relationship is the broker's, always.
The platform is in beta with a public launch in Q3 2026. We're talking with anchor capital partners, broker shops, and sponsors right now.
