Key Offerings
- Fannie Mae DUS Loans: Arbor is a leading originator of Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (DUS) loans for multifamily properties. Market share varies but Arbor is consistently a top DUS lender. Competitors include Greystone, Walker & Dunlop, and CBRE Capital Markets. Revenue contribution is significant as agency lending represents a large portion of their business.
- Freddie Mac Loans: Arbor also originates Freddie Mac loans, including Freddie Mac Small Balance Loans. Similar to Fannie Mae, they hold a considerable market share in this sector. Competitors are comparable to those in the Fannie Mae space. Again, a crucial component to the overall revenue.
- Bridge Loans: Arbor provides short-term financing solutions, bridge loans, for commercial real estate properties. The market share in this area fluctuates more. Competitors include private credit funds, debt funds, and other REITs. A key source of revenue and growth, though more volatile.
