GMAC Commercial Mortgage here - which is on the auction block - has agreed to purchase one of its top competitors, CapMark Services, Atlanta.

GMACCM is paying $106 million in a deal that includes not just CapMark, but affiliates involved in debt, asset and investment advisory services.

Even though GMACCM is being peddled to potential investors by its parent General Motors, the company has said publicly that it may not sell the commercial mortgage banker if it doesn't get its price.

Recently, sources told Mortgage Servicing News that GM's investment banker, Morgan Stanley & Co., picked about three finalists from a field of 12 to continue negotiating in regard to GMACCM.

One source familiar with the deal said it is unclear whether GMACCM will be sold as one unit or broken into pieces and sold to different investors.

A spokesman for GM declined to comment on the progress of GMACCM's sale.

For now, GMACCM is taking a business-as-usual approach, which means it will continue to fund commercial real estate projects and inquire about buying out competitors.
