July 31: Checking in

TALF, LoopNet vs. CoStar, CoStar and PPR, MISMO and a vacation in Yosemite … a ton has happened in the past few weeks.
What's Going On
San Francisco to the Midwest by Boat
I celebrated my 42nd birthday with my family over the long weekend by renting a house in Discovery Bay, a community located on the Sacramento River Delta 70 miles from San Francisco. While the girls drove, my son and I went up by boat.
CMBS Leads Launch!
We plan to launch our CMBS Leads product at the end of the week. We are currently putting the finishing touches on the tool, and we are really proud of it.
CMBS Leads is an affordable, Web-based way to find and manage leads for CRE refinancing and distressed asset purchases. The application is an intuitive interface where you will:
- Find leads that are maturing, in default or in foreclosure.
- Create lead lists to manage different types of opportunities.
- Manage and report contact history at the loan level, and more.
We hope you’ll find plenty of value in the Leads product — and that the tool and data empower you to “Make your own opportunities with CMBS Leads!”
Rocking in Joshua Tree
Our family just enjoyed a great spring break. While my wife and daughter went to Disneyland, my 10-year-old son Andy and I went to Palm Springs and hung out in the desert. We started by renting a hot red Dodge Charger and going to the local Walmart for essential supplies:
1) An adapter so we could plug our iPod into the rental car (going to Joshua Tree without playing U2’s Joshua Tree just wouldn’t seem right).
2) A sling shot.
New business, new office and new product
We have had a very active few weeks around CMBS.com — just not much blog writing!
- We signed a new contract for Backshop on a to-be-named opportunity fund that needed an asset management system for distressed loans.
- We signed a four-year lease on a new office suite.
- We are getting ready to launch a new product called CMBS Leads.
