Northmarq Joins Dealpath Connect, Offers Billions in Additional Institutional Debt & Investment Sales Listings FinanceWire - Published on: Jun 24, 2026 @ 10:09 UTC New York, United States, June 24th, 2026, FinanceWire The partnership strengthens the network where institutional deal flow converges and follows the onboarding of CBRE, JLL, Cushman & Wakefield, Avison Young and others over the past 18 months Dealpath, the AI-powered operating system for real estate investing driving $10 trillion in transactions, today announced a strategic partnership with Northmarq, one of the largest privately held commercial real estate firms in the United States. Northmarq's listings are now live on Dealpath Connect, the only private exchange for institutional real estate listings, placing the firm's investment sales and loan sales opportunities directly into the deal pipelines of the most active institutional buyers. Northmarq manages a loan servicing portfolio of more than $78 billion and completed transactions totaling $91.3 billion from 2022 to 2025. The firm will bring a range of on- and off-market opportunities to Connect - including institutional-grade listings above $20 million - expanding the platform's footprint in the debt space, where buy-side demand for normalized, real-time deal flow is accelerating. Northmarq's decision heralds a broader shift: brokerages are moving away from relying solely on email blasts and PDF flyers toward distribution that gets the right opportunities in front of the right buyers faster. Since Dealpath Connect launched less than two years ago, five of the top brokerages in the US have joined, including JLL, CBRE, Cushman & Wakefield, Avison Young, and now Northmarq. To date, nearly 19,000 listings representing more than $930 billion in aggregate transaction value have been distributed through Dealpath Connect. "Northmarq joining Connect is another signal of a seismic shift in how deals move from the sell side to the buy side," said Mike Sroka, CEO and Co-founder of Dealpath. "The era of endless emails and flyers is ending. We're building the intelligent network where institutional deal flow converges - connecting buyers and sellers faster, with better data, than has ever been possible." Rather than landing in an inbox, listings shared through Connect flow directly into investors' deal pipelines to kickstart underwriting and streamline execution. The result is dramatically higher engagement: buy-side teams interact with nearly 60% of listings distributed through the platform - far outpacing traditional email outreach. Dealpath introduced Dealpath Connect in November 2024, partnering with leading capital markets firms to embed new listings directly into the pipelines of its buy-side clients.
