Bascom Advisors specializes in interest rate risk management for commercial real estate investors. Unlike other companies that also service lenders, we never have the potential of a conflict of interest. So when needing protection on a commercial loan, borrowers can trust us to handle the hedge from start to finish. We understand the last thing all stakeholders want are any loose ends or missteps getting in the way of closing the deal, or even worse, leaving the loan vulnerable to volatility when that’s not aligned with the borrower’s strategy.

Partnering with us means you’re never alone or in the dark with your hedge. The relationship is our top priority. We’re with you every step of the way to make sure your closing is seamless and you’re as much in the know as you want to be at every point in the process. Setting you and your loan up for success is what you can count on each and every time with Bascom Advisors on your team.

    Thinking outside of the box and customizing solutions based on client business goals is our approach every time. There’s never a one-size-fits-all approach.
