The SSEK San Francisco Non-Traded REIT Fraud Law Firm is Representing Investors in The SF Bay Area and the Surrounding California Regions Against Financial Advisors
For over 30 years, Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas (investorlawyers.com) has been representing Californians who have suffered losses caused by broker misconduct and negligence. This includes non-traded real estate investment trust (non-traded REIT) investors.
While this type of REIT is open to retail investors, inexperienced investors, and retirees, it doesn’t always mean that a non-traded REIT is a suitable investment for every investor. A lot has to be assessed, including the individual’s financial goals, risk tolerance level, age, the makeup of their portfolio, and more.
From our San Francisco securities law offices, our seasoned non-traded REIT loss attorneys are here to provide robust representation to clients against broker-dealers and investment advisers not just in California but throughout the US. We have the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to take on the largest firms while maximizing your chances for a full financial recovery.

Why Do Non-Traded REITs Lead To Investor Losses?
These are real estate investments, which makes them alternative investments. They are not listed on any exchanges. Non-traded REITs can be non-transparent and illiquid. Their value may be heavily impacted by what is going on in the real estate market.
There are definite draws to investing in a non-traded REIT, including that they give retail investors a chance to get involved in income-producing properties to which they wouldn’t normally have access. However, as we have already noted, not all investors should get involved in real estate investments. Unfortunately, because of the higher commissions that brokers and investment advisers stand to make from alternative investments, this can compel many of them to disregard a client’s best interests and/or turn a blind eye to red flags indicating a non-traded REIT may be fraudulent or in trouble.
