Michael Chase spotlighted in Wealth Management Real Estate feature on bank liquidity for CRE borrowers

BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS (March 31, 2022) - Michael Chase, senior vice president/managing director of Northmarq's Boston-based regional office, recently shared his expert insights in a feature story, titled "A Cushioning Effect," in the most recent edition of Wealth Management Real Estate (formally National Real Estate Investor). The focus is on banks, and how they are still likely to offer plenty of liquidity for commercial real estate borrowers, even in a changing environment.

"Heading into 2022, I do think capital from banks remains available, and they're going to be aggressive," said Chase. "There is a lot of capital available across the banking sector from community banks, middle market banks, national money center banks and even international banks.
