Most of the capital funding for the projects comes from Mr. Chalmers, the owner of Chalmers Equity Group, personally. Mr. Chalmers is also one of the few people in LA County that is able to secure speculative bank financing for industrial and commercial development currently in the market. However, where traditional financing is not a possibility due to environmental issues or other challenges, CEG has a great network of capital partners and investors that Mr. Chalmers utilizes when the occasion requires. Due to our track record and financial strength, we virtually have unlimited capital and lending for our projects.

One of the keys to CEG’s success is the way we have treated and respected brokers over the years. We look at the brokerage community as our sales force and we value them and realize what they bring to the table. As a former broker, Mr. Chalmers realizes how difficult it can be for brokers to complete a deal and then try to collect their fees and not be recognized or appreciated for their efforts. In complicated transactions, it is often better for CEG to work directly with the client once the building to suit or deal is complete. We always pay the brokers fees that are due regardless of the broker’s participation. CEG also guarantees the broker that initially brought us the deal the listing on the finished building. Once a broker does a deal with CEG, they will always have that listing as long as they are still active in that market. When a broker brings CEG a client, we are prepared with what is needed for the meeting and always present and discuss fees for the broker up front so everyone knows what is expected. The bottom line is we know how hard the business is and when brokers deal with CEG, we want them to know that we respect and appreciate their hard work. We realize how critical our broker relationships are to our success!
