Braco Realty Capital

What Braco Realty Capital does

Braco Realty Capital, LLC is a privately held, boutique commercial real estate investment advisory firm founded in 2007 by Brett Beerer during the Credit Crisis. The firm provides capital placement and financial advisory services to real estate owners and developers, originating out of distressed-situation work — negotiating discounted payoffs with lenders, executing partner buyouts, and sourcing discounted notes and properties — and has since evolved into a full-service capital intermediary across both debt and equity structures. It is headquartered at 7887 East Belleview Avenue, Suite #1100, in Denver, Colorado, and operates with 11-50 employees.

The firm's core products span a comprehensive debt-and-equity stack: bridge loans, permanent mortgages (insurance, bank, and CMBS/CDO), construction loans, mezzanine loans (typically 60-85% LTV, 8-11% rates), senior stretch financing, preferred equity (10-25%+ returns depending on risk profile), and JV equity for projects in the $3M-$50M+ range. Asset class coverage is broad — multifamily, hospitality, retail, office, industrial, senior housing, residential condominiums, special purpose, and land/PUD development — and the firm also arranges agency financing (FHA/HUD, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, SBA 7A/504). Capital is sourced from a diversified network of banks, insurance companies, REITs, debt funds, hedge funds, opportunity funds, private equity, family offices, and high net worth individuals.

Braco's business model is professional services — revenue is generated through advisory fees, placement fees, and success fees on completed debt and equity placements — with quote-based, project-specific pricing that is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and relationship-driven, primarily focused on the Rocky Mountain States (Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Arizona, Montana, New Mexico) with opportunistic deal flow across the broader United States and occasionally in Mexico and the Caribbean. Capital requests typically range from $2 million to $60 million, targeting the small-to-middle-market segment where boutique advisors can add value through specialized structuring and direct capital access.
