Real Estate   The International Real Estate Equity Xchange (IREEX) and the American Trade Cooperative (ATC) are bringing to the American real estate marketplace an innovation, consisting of using Trade Credits, together with cash, in buying and selling transactions.   Property Owners who can take advantage of this method are:   Sellers of land with limited marketability Buyers of property wanting to reduce their cash and credit requirements to make acquisitions Sellers of property wishing to offer better terms to potential buyers without discounting Owners of property wishing to monetize and put to use dormant equity   PRIMARY BENEFIT: The system allows owners of non-productive assets, such as vacant land, to monetize the assets and convert them to Trade Credits, a form of money that can be used to transact business.    HOW ARE TRADE CREDITS ACQUIRED? A property is pledged, as security, for a line of credit in Trade Credits. Title to the property pledged does not transfer, but a Notice of Interest is used to record the encumbrance at the time the line of credit is activated. If the principal is not able to use the Trade Credits to make a desired purchase he/she can terminate the arrangement at any time and retrieve the pledged asset.       HOW DOES IT WORK? The ATC Trade Credit system operates similarly to a REIT. In a REIT assets go into a Trust which issues stock certificates; in our case pledged assets go into a Trust which, in turn, issues a Dollar-denominated Trade Credit that is used, as part of the consideration, in real estate transactions.  The portion of the consideration paid using Trade Credits ranges between 20% and 45%.     WHO WE ARE: The parent company has operated since 1974 and the current management team has over 125 years of collective experience in real estate.
