What Wells Fargo's CMBS lending looks like
- Loan size close to the market: a median of $19.4M against $15M market-wide.
- Rates below the market once property type is accounted for: about 11 basis points under the market median for the same property types, loan-weighted. Timing matters too: a lender that closed more loans when Treasury yields were lower will show lower rates.
- Less leverage than the market: median loan-to-value of 59.5% against 63.9%, and debt service coverage of 1.70x against 1.47x.
- Geographically concentrated: 26% of its loans were on property in CA.

Who services a Wells Fargo CMBS loan?
Not the originator, usually. Once a loan is in a trust, the master servicer named in that trust's pooling and servicing agreement collects payments and handles routine requests, and the special servicer takes over if the loan gets into trouble. Look up a loan by property or trust to see both.
