Finlay Management, Inc

About FINLAY

1980-1988
The original Finlay Company was established in 1980 by Christopher Finlay as a commercial real estate brokerage firm. The company quickly grew to become one of the largest in New England. In the process, supporting companies were created to address the need for professional appraisals, real estate finance, education, marketing, and both commercial and residential property management.

1988-1992
When New England fell into a major real estate depression in the late '80's, Finlay was well positioned to accept the challenges of the era. The management division became a major agent of the FDIC, the RTC, and other banks and institutions. Responsible for one of the FDIC's largest portfolios of troubled assets, Finlay Management maintained the properties, ensuring proper financial and physical management, while repositioning them for eventual disposition

1992-present
Eventually, the economy recovered, the troubled assets were sold, and in the early '90's, Finlay entered the real estate development business. Over the ensuing fifteen years, the company, with founder Chris Finlay still at the helm, developed over a dozen post office facilities and approximately 40 communities and 5000 units throughout the country.

At the same time, Finlay Management, armed with the recent FDIC experience, assumed responsibility for the management of the Finlay development portfolio. Finlay Management continues to oversee, either as a property manager or asset manager, all Finlay holdings. Today, the company also offers 3rd party fee management to other owners and financial institutions.
