Real estate crowdfunding

When President Obama signed the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act into law in 2012, he ushered in a new era of investment opportunity for the general public. The enablement of crowdfunding for raising capital made it possible for businesses to solicit investors online, effectively making real estate more accessible to all. As a result, real estate crowdfunding platforms were established, and their number increased steadily over the next four years. Currently, there are more than 125 such sites in the U.S. alone.

Crowdfunding for real estate is quickly transforming the way individuals develop and invest in real estate property. The benefits of crowdfunding are that sponsors (developers) can more quickly obtain the capital they need to build their projects, and investors have access and can participate in direct ownership in real estate. But not all crowdfunding entities offer the same services.

Infobrij, a real estate crowdfunding platform, brings together developers, investors, lenders, and service providers in a collaborative online marketplace. The platform allows investors to analyze investment opportunities, evaluate their potential returns, make side-by-side comparisons of projects, assess investment risk, and formulate and submit offers – all in one place. The benefits of such an approach are many.

Everyone benefits with Infobrij

The Infobrij platform gives investors the flexibility to diversify by allowing investments across a wide variety of projects. This offers investors both a greater degree of control, and the potential to reduce financial risk.

Additionally, the platform benefits developers by helping them close the equity gap between financing that is secured through commercial lending institutions and the total amount of funding needed to complete a project from start to finish.

Finally, Infobrij provides a nationwide market where lenders can find and monitor viable projects to finance, so that lenders can easily expand their loan portfolios well beyond their backyard. This unrivaled access to new markets offers added visibility and increased competitive advantage.

We’re experts in efficiency

At Infobrij, our goal is to bridge the gap between our investors and our sponsors. More than just a tech startup, Infobrij is a team of professionals that offers decades of experience in both the development and investment sides of commercial real estate development, in conjunction with the technical expertise needed to run a real estate crowdfunding platform. CEO and founder Brian Barbuto is a successful real estate developer with decades of practical knowledge of the development process. And Infobrij president, Glen Rich, brings more than 30 years of experience in both private and public real estate investment companies.

With such a wide variety of talent and experience at our command, we are able to see each project through: from putting together the players and getting the deal signed to providing expert-level support and assistance and technology expertise throughout the process. Unlike most crowdfunding platforms, we are not content with just matching sponsors and investors and walking away. Our hands on involvement does not end until the project is complete and sponsors and investors receive their profits.
