The Cushman & Wakefield Banking & Regulatory Solutions (BRS) is actively supporting our clients in the existing environment where working from home and travel restrictions are part of the new norm. With the passing of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, the SBA and banks across the country are injecting billions into our economy while managing the fallout in the real estate industry simultaneously. Institutions can partner with us to rapidly deploy BRS professionals to augment their SBA Lending Teams, Special Asset Departments, and Servicing Teams as we wade through these uncertain times.
With the size and scope of the CARES Act, banks have dedicated large teams of underwriters and credit officers to deploy capital, and may need to bolster their existing teams with outside resources. Cushman & Wakefield is an Active SAM-qualified vendor with over 200 credit-trained professionals working remotely, throughout the U.S., to assist in reviewing, processing, underwriting, or approving small business loan applications.
In addition, the BRS provides personnel to support standard lending operations that are now strained by the forbearance requirements of the CARES Act and massive uncertainty in the U.S. economy. Our national team provides local market resources to help our clients sustain their business initiatives, including site inspections, loan diligence, loan servicing, loan workouts and project staff augmentation.
