Stewards Expands Real Assets Team with JOSS Realty Hire — Stewards Inc.

Event summary

Stewards Inc. has added Larry Botel, Jamie DeRevere, and Jake Tolkin from JOSS Realty to its real assets team.
JOSS Realty has completed 32 real estate acquisitions totaling 3.4 million square feet and $1.2 billion in value.
The team brings experience in core, core-plus, value-add, and opportunistic strategies, focusing on commercial office and multifamily assets.
Stewards views real assets as a stabilizing component of its broader financial platform, alongside private credit and technology-enabled infrastructure.

The big picture

Stewards' addition of the JOSS Realty team underscores its strategy to build a diversified financial platform. The move comes as institutional investors increasingly seek stable, income-producing real assets to complement higher-risk private credit and technology investments. With the real estate market facing volatility, Stewards' focus on experienced underwriting and active asset management could position it to capitalize on distressed or undervalued opportunities.
