What a real estate investor backs

A property investor backs buildings with steady income. In Wellington that often means CBD office towers.

REITs hold big assets; syndicators pool smaller ones. Compare them to Auckland real estate investors too.

They study your leases, tenants, and building grade. A clean real estate deal room speeds up the sale.

Ellty gives each buyer one trackable link to your data room. You see who studied the leases before the first offer.

Commercial and government office

The Wellington office market leans on government tenants. Those long, stable leases draw the big REITs in.

Buyers want strong covenants and green ratings. Old and vacant towers are a hard sell right now.

Keep your lease and title docs all in one place. Use a clean virtual data room for the whole sale.

See how a data room for real estate deals works. Ellty logs exactly who opened each file and when.

Industrial and large-format retail

Industrial is the strongest NZ property class now. Goodman and PFI both lead that industrial space.

Buyers want long leases and very low vacancy rates. Bare land with no signed tenant is a risky buy.

Show your rent roll and all of your lease terms. Run clean due diligence well before the deal closes.

Weak lease records will lose property buyers fast. Ellty shows who read your rent roll and exactly when.

Property funds and syndicates

Not every property deal needs a big listed REIT. Syndicators pool money from many small investors.

PMG and Oyster open deals from small entry sums. That widens who can invest in commercial property.

Funds want clear records for every single investor. Many run much like a small private equity fund.

Read up on real estate due diligence early on first. Ellty tracks who reads each file you send.
