Launched in May 2021, Revere is an invitation-only online marketplace for capital markets professionals looking to buy or sell a building, finance a project and expand their network. Revere provides access to thousands of dealmakers and allows equity, debt and investment sales teams to manage their entire capital markets workflow from sourcing to close on one platform. There is no commission tied to any transaction facilitated on Revere. Members pay a flat monthly fee.
A landlord, broker or capital provider builds an individual profile, serving as their digital business card. Users can then search and discover vast amounts of first party capital markets data on people, companies and transactions. Rather than spreadsheets and lengthy reports, users can automate deal marketing and feedback aggregation through matchmaking algorithms and workflow automation.
