Their Challenge
As is common in the private wealth sphere, the team at Sandpiper Lodging Manager was having trouble sourcing data on investors to prospect into. Since information on family offices, investment advisors and industry professionals is often outdated and sparse, it can be difficult trying to pinpoint relevant firms to reach out to in the process of raising capital.
Michael Helgeson, Vice President of Capital Markets at Sandpiper, faced this exact challenge of being able to target the right family offices and RIAs. The Sandpiper team felt they were often wasting their time, unable to narrow down their search to investors that would actually be interested in their asset class offering. The team was spending numerous hours calling individual reps and firms to get an understanding of their investment interests, only to find that they were unwilling to entertain real estate opportunities.

In an effort to save valuable time and create a more targeted approach to family offices and RIAs, Michael and the Sandpiper team turned to FINTRX.
“[We needed] to target the right contacts, at the right firms, so we don't waste time calling on advisors and offices that don't touch the asset class we are a part of.” - Michael Helgeson, Vice President of Capital Markets at Sandpiper
The Outcome
In partnering with FINTRX to leverage the vast dataset of family offices, investment advisors and key contacts, Sandpiper was able to easily streamline their prospecting and outreach processes.
