STRATEGIC DECISION TO RETAIN THE BUSINESS
Over the past several months, SitusAMC has received extensive interest in its REVS business. In late 2023, the company entered into a sale transaction with Altus Group, which ultimately did not materialize. Despite continued interest from third parties, SitusAMC has decided to retain its REVS business. 

“Due to the interest in the REVS business, we decided to explore strategic options; however, the market expressed a desire for choice in their valuation partners and we are happy to continue offering those solutions as a part of SitusAMC. Our capital commitment highlights our focus on driving superior execution and insights for our clients and the broader market.” – Michael Franco. SitusAMC Chief Executive Officer. 

“Customers are increasingly seeking diverse options for their real estate valuations, and SitusAMC’s Real Estate Valuation Services group stands out as a proven partner with deep and meaningful relationships across the industry. We are excited to support SitusAMC as they invest in the REVS business and drive continued growth, ensuring that their clients receive unparalleled service and expertise across their valuation needs.” – Agha Khan, Co-Head of Private Equity at Stone Point Capital, a longstanding investor in SitusAMC. 

FUTURE FOCUS
Backed by its deep commitment to white-glove client service, highest standards of delivery, and highly credentials and experienced professionals, SitusAMC’s REVS business is well positioned for expansion within the industry.  

To support its growth objectives, SitusAMC has committed $20MM of technology investments through 2028, with a particular emphasis on enhancing REVS’s industry-leading valuation platforms: 

Valuation Management System (VMS) – a cloud-based platform that provides workflow and data management as well as robust real-time reporting capabilities, will see further enhancements via a next-generation “VMS Next” platform release. Daily Valuation System (DVS) – the industry’s only cloud-based daily valuation platform that provides a standardized workflow and reporting process for net asset valuation reporting, will also see continued investments to enhance the recently released product functionality.

We look forward to continuing to invest and support the business as they work alongside our broader team to power opportunity across the lifecycle of our clients CRE finance activity.” – Anne Jablonski, Executive Managing Director, Head of CRE, SitusAMC.
