About Fernandes & Company

A boutique capital markets advisory firm built on real operator experience. Not a consulting shop. Not a modeling factory. A firm that does the work differently because the founder has lived it.

Mark Fernandes, Principal of Fernandes & Company

Mark Fernandes

Principal

Mark is an experienced real estate investor and operator who currently oversees his family office with a primary focus on New Jersey real estate. He founded Fernandes & Company to bring institutional caliber analyst services and capital markets advisory to investors, developers, family offices, brokers, and operators who demand precision but don't need the overhead of a large firm.

With deep roots in the industry, Mark began his career at a young age working alongside his father and grandfather in property renovations and management. Over the years he built a strong foundation across every phase of the real estate lifecycle: underwriting, acquisitions, financing, operations, and disposition. He has personally underwritten billions in real estate assets, managed nine figure portfolios, closed over 200 buy-side and 150+ sell-side transactions.

His extensive experience structuring transactions has been a driving force behind his success across multiple partnerships. Clients rely on Mark for his ability to think creatively, model with conviction, and deliver institutional quality work product on an aggressive timeline.

Outside of work, Mark enjoys spending quality time with his wife and their 3 children. In his free time, he finds joy in camping, sailing, and spending time on the water.

How We Work

Our Values

Precision

Every number matters. Every assumption is tested. We build analysis that holds up under scrutiny because our clients are making real decisions with real capital.

Speed

Deals move fast. We deliver most work within 24 to 48 hours because we know that a model delivered next week is worth less than a model delivered tomorrow.

Honesty

We tell you what the numbers say, not what you want to hear. If a deal does not work, we will say so. If we are not the right fit for your project, we will tell you that too.

Selectivity

We take on engagements where we can add real value. Turning down work that is not the right fit means every client gets our full attention and best effort.

Conviction

We model with conviction. Our analysis reflects informed judgment, not cautious hedging. Clients come to us because we take a position and back it up.

Operator Mindset

This firm was built by someone who has bought, financed, operated, and sold real estate. That operator perspective shapes every model, memo, and recommendation we produce.

The Firm

Why Fernandes & Company Exists

Most investors, developers, and operators do not need a large advisory firm. They need one experienced analyst who understands their deal, builds the right model, and delivers it quickly.

Fernandes & Company was founded to fill that gap. Institutional quality analysis and capital markets advisory delivered by a boutique firm with real transaction experience, not a team of junior consultants or a modeling factory running templates.

We work with investors, developers, family offices, brokers, and operators nationwide across all commercial real estate asset classes. Our work has supported transactions from $500K single asset deals to nine figure portfolio strategies.

  • Analyst services, debt brokerage, and advisory under one roof
  • Principal with 200+ acquisitions and $4B+ underwritten
  • Custom analysis built on real market data and lender terms
  • 24 to 48 hour turnaround on most deliverables
  • 5.0 client rating across all engagements
  • Selective engagements for focused, high quality output
  • NDA and confidentiality agreements standard
  • Nationwide coverage across all CRE asset classes
