OUR CORE COMPETENCE

Customized Initiative for Each Assignment

One of the benefits of our marketing program is that we design a custom marketing initiative for each assignment. We focus on client objectives with regard to timing of the transaction, sensitivity to market exposure, and achieving the highest price or the lowest cost of capital the market will bear. Our team has completed over $1.8 billion of transactions in recent years, and we have an outstanding, results-oriented transaction process and a very current, intimate knowledge of which buyers are paying premium prices.

Carefully Orchestrated Marketing Process

We utilize a very successful, well-organized marketing program that follows a pre-determined minimum time schedule to keep buyers' attention. During a short pre-marketing period, we thoroughly inspect, photograph and analyze the asset. Then we craft the best story for the investment community and prepare the highest-quality marketing materials.

We take two principal approaches to our transaction executions, subject to complete review of given asset, market conditions and more importantly client needs:

>> Open Market Exposure Approach

>> Private Placement Offering Approach

• Entity / Strategy Value Approach to income property sales *

* - Entity / Strategy Approach" to income property sales is deployed by our specialists to obtain the highest valuation on a specific asset marketed by Credit Sovereign.

Used very rarely during real estate asset sales, Entity / Strategy Value Approach is utilized extensively in corporate investment banking industry, specifically in the area of mergers and acquisitions. JP Morgan and Jacob Schiff, the pioneers of investment banking, were at the source of this approach. Entity / Strategy was later refined by Andre Meyer and Felix Rohatyn of Lazard Freres, a preeminent advisor to the corporate M&A boom of 1960?s. Entity / Strategy Value Approach was the theory behind creations of US Steel, Standard Oil, and later of ITT, American Express and Citigroup.

The approach is centered around a very profound concept that a specific asset, being a corporation, a refinery or real estate, is valued more by some investors than by others. Decisions, made in many cases by investors, are not driven by sales comparables, replacement costs or current market conditions. Investment criteria often transcends deeper and further than these factors. Entity / Strategy Value Approach identifies asset acquirer's who ask additional questions:

Will this asset improve our portfolio quality? Will it set a new precedent for our growth? Will it communicate a new and dramatic approach to our investors and creditors? Will it, in the future, be considered an exceptional asset and add to the overall value of holdings and its credit quality? Positive answers will generate the highest valuations and highest sale prices for our clients.
