What is Chatter?
So what is Chatter? We’re a blog powered by Arbor Realty Trust Inc., a multifamily lender that has helped multifamily and commercial real estate clients achieve their financing goals for over 20 years. Chatter brings together Arbor’s thought leaders along with our industry partners – such as Chandan Economics – to provide you with relevant, practical and engaging content to keep you informed on the latest trends impacting the dynamic multifamily industry.

What Happened to ALEX Chatter?
We’ve rebranded! Back in January 2016, Arbor launched Arbor Loan Express (ALEX), a pioneering multifamily loan application and processing portal geared towards investors and owners in the small multifamily (5 to 50 unit) space. ALEX Chatter was launched at the same time to provide news, research and insight supporting the investment and financing process for small multifamily market participants.
Now that ALEX has grown to support all multifamily investors – from local families to institutions – we have expanded our coverage to the greater multifamily sector with Chatter.
