The Proposition
"I was a key driver in building a real estate private equity business to $800m+ of assets under management, before exiting my ownership stake in 2025."
— Neil Sarkhel
I have spent 16 years doing this work — raising institutional capital, managing investor relationships, investing in real estate, structuring funds and running the day-to-day of a growing real estate private equity business.
I now work with a small number of operators and investors on fund launches, institutional readiness, and capital allocation — bringing the same rigour and attention to their businesses as I applied to my own.
Clients
Businesses looking to raise institutional capital for the first time, or those seeking to scale their existing investor base and formalise their operations.
Institutions, family offices and high-net-worth individuals who allocate, or wish to allocate, capital to real estate — whether into funds, operating partners, or direct assets.
Experienced managers seeking project support on fund launches, capital raises, or broader corporate finance activities who need seasoned, hands-on resource.
Services
Supporting real estate businesses in preparing for institutional capital — from structure, governance and positioning through to investor engagement and due diligence management.
Advising investors on manager selection and portfolio construction, having led 150+ investor due diligence processes and closed $600m+ of investor commitments across seven institutional raises.
Supporting fund management, portfolio construction and providing board-level or investment committee input — drawing on ten years of experience across all aspects of running a real estate investment platform.
Credentials
Get in Touch
I work with a deliberately small number of clients at any one time. If you are raising capital, building institutional infrastructure, or looking to deploy capital thoughtfully into real estate, LinkedIn is the best place to reach me.
