The provision of comprehensive real estate services has always been at the heart of Martello's business strategy and focus. In-house capabilities have grown and strengthened. Real estate assignments and activities have consequently flourished and Martello is now able to offer all its clients a total project capability covering all aspects of the real estate field:

Martello's approach to real estate is based on a true understanding of the nature of the strategies and business plans of our clients.

Every project we undertake is approached from the clients' business perspective and tailor made to ensure success within the tight time frames imperative to ensure the competitiveness of our clients. Martello understands that it is in the real estate business to serve its clients and is therefore dedicated to achieving top quality service levels and performance. Martello recognises that clients need value for money and therefore, Martello's remuneration is directed to the successful performance of its client assignments.

Martello's primary objective is to create, secure and deliver substantial value for our clients through the dedicated application and implementation of real estate, financial and restructuring skill and expertise. This is best achieved in situations where Martello subsidiaries are given the responsibility to control, manage and implement the approved business strategies of our clients.

Asset management skills are fundamental to the successful implementation of Martello's real estate and restructuring activities. Asset management is now a front-line business activity for Martello and we now have a number of projects from clients where we actively manage their assets and portfolios.

Martello Realty' primary objective is create and deliver substantial value to its clients through the dedicated application and implementation capabilities and expertise. The company realises that to be successful Martello has to be able to provide its services on a worldwide basis. Consequently, the strength and depth of our organization , our people, our experience and our networks are all fundamental foundation stones on which success for our clients is built.

One of the major problems that banks face in economic downturns is successfully dealing with problem loans and the sudden lack of potential investors in the various related property markets.

Martello believes that the extent of its worldwide network strengthens its ability to help troubled banks deal with problem loans, and to create a clear scenario through which assets can be successfully disposed of.

Martello, building on its initial momentum, has achieved success in resolving bank-lending problems and running asset management companies in Europe, the Americas, and Asia through the application of international and local real estate and corporate recovery expertise.

Martello has the teams, capabilities and experience capable of successfully resolving NPL issues both at a local, and international level. Having already been involved in some significant international NPL and work-out portfolios in many countries around the world, Martello has developed specialised services and a unique approach to this area of business. Martello has always focused on the restructuring and work out of NPL books and as a result has run asset management companies for both government and financial institutions alike.

Martello has also been responsible for setting up and implementing the control system, procedures and reporting mechanisms needed to support the work-out process. Clearly, the skills and expertise needed throughout this process are different from those readily available from within the banks' own organization. Employing outside experts is a must. Flexibility and adaptability of the staff and the organization in any work-out is of paramount importance. The installation of a clear framework of financial controls, integrated management and reporting systems will permit transparency and must be subject to regular auditing at all levels. The heart of the process is focused on value enhancing measures to facilitate future sales of the assets. The strategy adopted by Martello is to recreate or increase the underlying performance of the assets and thereby increase their inherent value and prepare them for disposal at the highest price in terms of net present value.
