ABOUT US
Capital Markets Advisor. Strategic Intermediary.

Areas of Focus
Benjamin Balser founded Balser Strategy with a focus on serving investors, sponsors, lenders, and capital providers who operate in the most complex corners of the commercial real estate market—where conventional solutions fall short and where the right advisory relationship can determine the outcome of a transaction.
With deep experience across the full real estate capital stack—from DSCR and bridge loans to distressed debt, recapitalizations, and special situations—Benjamin brings a transaction-oriented, problem-solving approach to every engagement. The firm's network spans debt funds, private lenders, family offices, institutional investors, hard money capital, and specialty lenders across every major asset class.
Balser Strategy was designed to serve a market that most intermediaries avoid: the transactions that do not fit neatly into a lending box, the assets that are under pressure, and the capital structures that need to be rebuilt. These are also the transactions where the greatest value can be created—for borrowers, lenders, and capital providers alike.
Positioning
Balser Strategy is not a mortgage brokerage. We are a real estate capital advisory firm that also places debt. The distinction matters: we advise on structure before we source capital.
Network
Access to hundreds of capital sources—from regional banks to institutional debt funds—means we source competitive terms across every product type, including transactions that most intermediaries cannot place.
Approach
Every engagement starts with listening. We learn the full picture—the asset, the sponsor, the constraints, the timeline, and the objective—before we ever propose a solution.
Transparency
We tell clients what is realistic. We do not oversell feasibility or manufacture urgency. If a situation requires a hard conversation, we have it early—not after weeks of lost time.
