CREF TRACK: CRE Mortgage Banking Operational Benchmarking
No two CRE finance firms are alike. Benchmarking can be a useful tool for understanding how your firm is performing – and areas where you might be ahead of or behind the competition. This session uses MBA’s inaugural CREF Mortgage Banking Operational Benchmarking effort as a framework for a discussion about how different firms approach the CRE finance business.
