The Wideman Company, a family-owned commercial real estate firm with nearly 50 years of operational experience, leads a collective of real estate operators that have acquired the RealtyMogul platform. This transition brings The Wideman Company’s longstanding cultural values of Honor, Service, and Stewardship to the platform and its community of over 300,000 registered members.
Through recent one-on-one conversations with many investors, consistent feedback has emerged:
- The need for greater visibility into asset-level performance.
- More contextual explanation of asset performance.
- More frequent dialogue with asset managers and decision-makers.
- Clearer understanding of what performance data means for investments.
In direct response to this feedback, The Wideman Company is implementing meaningful enhancements across active deals and asset management processes to align with these three core values.
Why We’re Enhancing Quarterly Reporting (Starting Q1 2026)
Investor feedback highlighted key challenges with prior reporting: inconsistent timelines from some sponsors, raw data without sufficient context or explanation of variances, and limited insight into forward-looking considerations. To address these concerns directly, the first set of enhanced reports under Wideman leadership is planned for distribution in Q1 2026, covering the Q4 2025 period.
These reports will represent a significant upgrade from previous formats, integrating sponsor data with expanded commentary from the RealtyMogul Asset Management team in a clear, investor-friendly format. Each investment report is expected to feature expanded analysis addressing:
- Performance context – Explanation of results relative to original projections and current market conditions.
- Clear and concise communication – Explanation of quarterly results in a clear, understandable fashion.
- Forward-looking insights – Business plans for the remaining term of the investment with relevant property- or market-level factors that may influence future performance.
- Action items – Specific steps being taken, if needed, to address challenges.
Adding Proactive Interim Updates
Beyond quarterly reports, the RealtyMogul Asset Management team intends to produce periodic interim updates for:
- Material developments that occur between standard reporting cycles.
- Sponsor-level matters impacting multiple assets or overall sponsor performance.
- Market insights providing context for property-level decisions.
- Progress on exit timelines for investments nearing or exceeding projected hold periods.
The focus is on timely, proactive transparency—sharing information before it is requested.
Addressing Extended Hold Periods in the Existing Portfolio
Concerns about investments exceeding original projected timelines have been noted. The Wideman Company is conducting a comprehensive asset-by-asset review of the existing portfolio, evaluating market conditions, liquidity options, and the path that best serves investor interests. Updates will include clear explanations of influencing factors and potential triggers for action.
Note: Real estate investments are illiquid by nature. Exit timelines are projections, not commitments, and actual hold periods may vary significantly based on market conditions and property performance.
Opening New Channels for Direct Investor Access
Direct engagement is central to The Wideman Company’s culture. The platform plans to introduce new opportunities for interaction, including:
- Live webinars hosted by the asset manager assigned to each deal, with real-time performance walkthroughs.
- Open Q&A sessions welcoming all questions.
- Optional one-on-one calls with RealtyMogul or Wideman team members for in-depth discussions on specific investments.
This level of accessibility represents a departure from previous platform norms and reflects feedback that investors want to know the people overseeing their capital.
How Co-Investment Aligns Interests in New Deals
One of the most significant changes under Wideman leadership is The Wideman Company’s intention to co-invest personal capital in every new deal alongside platform investors. This “skin in the game” approach ensures direct alignment between the firm and its investors.
What does this mean in practice?
- The Wideman Company invests alongside platform investors in each new opportunity.
- If an investment underperforms, the firm is exposed to the same negative investment impacts as investors.
- This structure creates accountability beyond management fees.
This co-investment commitment applies to new deals originated under Wideman leadership. Existing portfolio investments originated prior to the acquisition operate under their original structures.
Looking Ahead
These enhancements reflect The Wideman Company’s commitment to “radical transparency”, communicating good news, challenges, opportunities, and everything in between. RealtyMogul has long been a pioneer in making commercial real estate investing accessible to a broad community of accredited investors. With the Wideman Company’s nearly 50 years of operational experience now guiding the platform, we are building on that strong foundation to deliver even greater visibility, accountability, and alignment.
We look forward to demonstrating these commitments through actions in the months ahead and building the next chapter of RealtyMogul together.
