FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SkyView Advisors Launches First-Ever Deal Lead in Residency Program

SkyView Advisors today announced the launch of its Deal Lead in Residency Program, a new initiative designed to create a direct path to leading commercial real estate transactions through real-world execution.

A Note From SkyView’s CEO

A note from Jay Crotty on what we are building and why

“The commercial real estate industry does not lack talent—it lacks a clear path to execution. Most professionals spend years around transactions without ever truly leading them.

For decades, the path into this business has been unstructured. Progression is tied to time, exposure is inconsistent, and execution is learned indirectly. As a result, very few people are equipped to actually run a deal from start to finish.

What we have built is an environment where that changes. For the first time, there’s a real path to learning how to run deals – inside actual deals.

Participants are placed directly inside a centralized platform where every part of the transaction is tracked, structured, and measurable. They are not observing deals—they are operating within them. They see how data informs positioning, how process creates competition, and how execution ultimately drives outcomes.

This is how deal leaders are developed.”

– Jay Crotty, Co-Founder and CEO, SkyView Advisors

A Defined Path to Execution

The program is built around direct exposure to live transactions, working alongside senior deal leads. Participants operate within active deal flow from day one, gaining visibility into how transactions are managed, how buyers are engaged, and how processes are executed in real time.

Early stages focus on understanding how deals move—how opportunities are brought to market, how communication is handled, and how execution is coordinated across each step of the process. As participants gain context, they begin supporting key aspects of live transactions, contributing to process management and deal flow organization.

Over time, responsibility increases through involvement, not a fixed curriculum. Participants take on more ownership within the transaction as they develop a working understanding of how deals are actually run.

Operating Inside a Centralized Model

Participants operate within SkyView Advisors’ centralized, technology-driven platform, where every stage of a transaction is structured, tracked, and measured. This environment provides consistent visibility into deal activity, allowing participants to see how each step connects and how decisions impact the overall process.

The centralized model eliminates fragmentation across underwriting, marketing, and execution, creating alignment across all stages of the transaction. Participants are able to follow deals end-to-end within a single system, rather than working in isolated functions with limited context.

This structure enables a clearer understanding of how data informs positioning, how process is used to create and manage competition, and how execution ultimately drives outcomes.

A Note From SkyView’s CRO

A note from Ryan Clark on execution and outcomes

“In this business, outcomes are driven by execution—nothing else.

Two assets with similar fundamentals can trade at materially different prices. The difference is not the asset. It’s how the process is run. How the deal is positioned, how buyers are engaged, and how competition is created and managed throughout the transaction.

Most people in this industry never develop that skillset. They see deals, but they don’t control them.

What we’ve built is a system where execution is structured, repeatable, and measurable. Participants are operating inside that system from day one. They’re not guessing what drives results—they’re seeing it play out in real time across active transactions.

That level of exposure changes how you think about deals. It creates a clearer understanding of what actually moves outcomes, and how to consistently produce them.”

– Ryan Clark, Co-Founder and CRO, SkyView Advisors

Prepared for Deal Leadership

By the end of the residency, participants are expected to operate within a live transaction environment with accountability for execution. The program is designed to move beyond familiarity with deals and toward the ability to manage them within a structured process.

Participants develop a working understanding of how transactions are analyzed, positioned, and brought through a competitive process. They gain exposure to how buyer behavior is interpreted, how strategies are adjusted in real time, and how decisions at each stage influence momentum and outcome.

Through repeated involvement in active deal flow, participants begin to recognize patterns in execution—what creates leverage, what introduces risk, and what ultimately drives stronger results. This experience builds a level of judgment that cannot be developed through observation alone.

The outcome is a clear capability: the ability to step into a transaction, operate within a defined execution model, and contribute to driving the process forward with accountability and precision.
