Markets: Real Estate

Commercial and residential owners, developers, lenders, and sureties are all involved in the real estate area. Owners evaluate whether a project is feasible. The developer acquires the land, obtains approvals, secures financing and begins construction. Lenders provide the necessary funds for the projects, requiring many reports and updates. Sureties provide bonding, which is a form of insurance. Contractors must submit detailed financial data to the surety to secure a bond.
