EMPOWERING YOUR ASCENT
Crestmont provides comprehensive guidance and investment structuring solutions to industry operators seeking innovative investment vehicles tailored to their strategies.
WHAT WE DO
Many real estate operators, from lenders to developers to builders, have proven their ability to generate strong returns for investors over years of execution. However, lacking scalable investment infrastructure and limited by access to capital, these operators build no equity value in their businesses.
Established in 2023, Crestmont is a investment consulting firm dedicated to assisting real estate and other alternative asset operators in establishing and structuring investment vehicles tailored to their unique investment strategies.
Through the formation of investment funds, clients are able to generate recurring cash flows and drive monetizable equity value in their businesses.
By leveraging our expertise and network (*we provide access to our established relationships of leading industry service providers including legal, marketing, administration, regulatory compliance, financial audit), we are able to drive significant efficiency and cost savings.
Crestmont clients emerge with a new, cash flowing, scalable asset management business and partners aligned and motivated to drive growth.
