To the Board of Directors
  and Stockholders
Realty One, Inc.
Corporate Relocation Management, Inc.



We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of Realty One, Inc. and
Corporate Relocation Management, Inc. as of December 31, 1996 and the related
combined statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year
then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companies'
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of Realty One,
Inc. and Corporate Relocation Management, Inc. as of December 31, 1996 and the
combined results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then
ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                     CORPORATE RELOCATION MANAGEMENT, INC.
                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               DECEMBER 31, 1996


NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization - The combined financial statements include the accounts of Realty
One, Inc., (ROI) and Corporate Relocation Management, Inc. (CRM) (collectively
the Companies).  ROI and CRM have common stockholders.  ROI is engaged in real
estate brokerage in the Northern Ohio area and also provides management services
for commercial, residential and condominium properties.  CRM is engaged in
relocation management and marketing assistance activities including, but not
limited to, the acquisition and resale of real estate throughout the United
States.  Included in trade accounts receivable are expenses paid by CRM for the
acquisition, maintenance and sale of real estate owned by employees of CRM's
clients.  These amounts are subsequently reimbursed by their clients.  All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the
combined financial statements.

Revenue Recognition - ROI recognizes commission revenue and commission expense
related to real estate sales transactions at the time a purchase and sale
agreement is signed.  Allowances are recorded for amounts that are estimated to
be ultimately not recognized.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are recorded at cost.
Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the purchased assets.  Depreciation on leased assets is computed on the
straight-line method over the lesser of the useful life or lease term.  Costs of
maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.

Intangible Assets - Intangible assets include goodwill of $2,334,295 (net of
accumulated amortization of $801,642) and a covenant not to compete of $225,000
(net of accumulated amortization of $525,000) arising from acquisitions of
various real estate brokerages.  Goodwill and the covenant are being amortized
on the straight-line method over 40 years and 10 years, respectively.
Amortization expense totaled $151,765 for 1996.

Income Taxes - The Companies have elected to be taxed under the provisions of
Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code.  In lieu of corporate income taxes,
the stockholders of an S Corporation are taxed on their proportionate share of
the Company's taxable income.  Therefore, no provision or liability for federal
income taxes is recorded.

Customer Deposits and Custodial Funds Held in Escrow - ROI has a fiduciary
responsibility for real estate escrow and custodial funds in the amount of
$1,188,772 at December 31, 1996.  The related trust cash accounts and
corresponding custodial liability are not included in the accompanying combined
balance sheet.

401(k) Plan - The Companies offer a 401(k) Plan to employees.  Under this Plan,
employees can elect to have a portion of their wages deferred and set aside for
retirement.  The Companies match eligible employee contributions as defined in
the Plan document.  The Companies contributed $59,583 to the Plan in 1996.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

NOTE 2 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company shares similar ownership and management with several partnerships
and corporations.

Revenue earned from affiliates includes office rentals, maintenance, marketing
services and other management services.  ROI has also entered into an agreement
to lease its corporate offices from an affiliate.  In addition, ROI advances
funds to certain related entities on a short-term basis.

Rental expense under all operating leases, including amounts paid to affiliates
(Note 2) was $3,757,480 for 1996.

ROI has guaranteed the debt of entities related through common ownership.  At
December 31, 1996, the outstanding balance of the debt was $19,792,134
(including CRM line of credit).

NOTE 8 - CONTINGENCIES

ROI is uninsured for errors and omissions on real estate sales transactions
brokered by ROI or its sales agents.  ROI has recorded a liability for further
losses due to errors and omissions claims of $150,000 at December 31, 1996.
Total expenses incurred to settle errors and omissions claims were $63,460 in
1996.

ROI is a defendant in a lawsuit filed by an international franchise organization
and some of its local franchisee companies who have asserted claims against ROI
and another Ohio real estate broker.  Those claims include antitrust
allegations, unfair competition allegations, and other related claims.  The
lawsuit asserts claims for an unspecified amount of damages and equitable
relief.  ROI has denied all those claims and asserted its own counterclaims
against the plaintiffs for antitrust violations and unfair competition.  On
March 19, 1996, the district court granted ROI's motion for summary judgment on
all of the plaintiffs' claims.  Additionally, the court denied the plaintiffs'
motions for summary judgment on one of ROI's counterclaims.  The plaintiffs have
appealed the district court's ruling.  Management and legal counsel believe that
the likelihood of ROI suffering a material loss is remote.

NOTE 9 - STOCK RIGHTS

Under an employment contract between ROI and one of its stockholders, ROI has
the right to repurchase the shares of the stockholder upon his termination of
employment for any reason.  The repurchase price is based upon a formula
specified by contract.

NOTE 10 - EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

ROI maintains employment agreements with certain stockholders.  These agreements
stipulate the terms of employment and include a three year covenant not to
compete which would be effective only in a limited circumstance.

                               DECEMBER 31, 1996

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company provides closing and mortgage escrow services on residential real
estate transactions in Cleveland, Ohio and surrounding areas.

Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased
with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Custodial Funds Held in Escrow - The Company has a fiduciary responsibility for
escrow funds on residential real estate transactions that are in the closing
process in the amount of $2,473,096 at December 31, 1996.  The related trust
cash accounts and corresponding liability are not included in the accompanying
balance sheet.

Income Tax Status - The Company has elected to be treated as an S Corporation
under the Internal Revenue Code.  As a result of this election, the taxable
income or loss of the Company is included on the stockholders' individual tax
returns and a provision for income taxes is not reflected in the Company's
financial statements.

401(k) Plan - The Company offers a deferred compensation 401(k) tax savings plan
to employees.  Under this plan, employees can elect to have a portion of their
wages deferred and set aside for retirement.  All contributions to the plan are
voluntary on the part of employees.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Substantially all of the Company's revenue is derived from contracted closing
services performed for a mortgage company related through common ownership and
management.  During 1996, the Company has recorded $96,784 of management fee
expense for services provided by the related entity.  These fees resulted in an
unsecured, demand accounts payable balance at December 31, 1996 of $14,511.
This payable is non-interest bearing.

The Company is also guarantor on the affiliated mortgage company's bank debt
totaling $10,213,589 at December 31, 1996.

NOTE 3 - OPERATING LEASES

The Company leases its offices under an operating lease expiring in 2000.
Minimum future rental commitments are as follows:

                  1997                             $  65,410
                  1998                                76,954
                  1999                                78,090
                  2000                                32,876

                     Total                          $253,330

                        FIRST OHIO MORTGAGE CORPORATION
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995


NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company is engaged in the origination of single-family mortgages in
Cleveland, Ohio and surrounding areas for sale to outside investors.

Due to the nature of the assets applicable to mortgage companies, First Ohio
Mortgage Corporation feels that an unclassified balance sheet more accurately
reflects its financial position.

Significant accounting policies are as follows:

Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased
with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Recognition of Revenue - Fee income on sales of mortgage loans is recognized
when the related mortgage loans are sold.  Fee income from loan origination is
recognized on the mortgage closing date.  Interest deemed to be collectible on
mortgage loans held for sale is credited to income as accrued.  Interest expense
on related borrowings is expensed as incurred.  Due to the short length of time
most loans are held and the nature of the costs, there is not a material impact
on net income from applying the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 91, "Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs of
Originating and Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases", and,
accordingly, there is no deferral of net fees or costs.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale - Mortgage loans held for sale are valued at the
lower of cost or market, determined on an aggregate basis, based upon
commitments from investors to purchase such loans and upon prevailing market
rates.  Mortgage loans at December 31, 1996 and 1995 are due primarily from
individual homeowners in Northern Ohio.

Custodial Funds Held in Escrow - The Company has a fiduciary responsibility for
escrow funds on mortgage loans held for sale in the amount of $257,453 and
$101,926 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The related trust cash
account and corresponding custodial liability are not included in the
accompanying balance sheet.

Fixed Assets - Fixed assets are carried at cost, less depreciation computed on
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective
assets as follows:

            Furniture and fixtures              5 years
            Leasehold improvements              7 years
            Office equipment                    5 years

Loan Commitments and Forward Contracts - The Company commits to loan applicants
to lend funds within a specified period at a specified interest rate.  Forward
contracts for the sale of these loans may be used to hedge the risk of changes
in interest rates.  Unrealized gains and losses on forward contracts are not
recognized until the loan has been sold, except as the forward contract price
may affect a write-down of loan inventory to the lower of cost or market.

Income Tax Status - The Company has elected to be treated as an S Corporation
under the Internal Revenue Code.  As a result of this election, the taxable
income or loss of the Company is included on the stockholders' individual tax
returns and a provision for income taxes is not reflected in the Company's
financial statements.


                        FIRST OHIO MORTGAGE CORPORATION
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

401(k) Plan - The Company offers a deferred compensation 401(k) tax savings plan
to employees.  Under this plan, employees can elect to have a portion of their
wages deferred and set aside for retirement.  All contributions to the plan are
voluntary on the part of employees.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 - RECEIVABLE - AFFILIATE

The Company provides management services for an escrow company related through
common ownership and management.  Management fees charged during 1996 and 1995
totaled $96,784 and $111,859, respectively, and resulted in an unsecured, demand
receivable balance at December 31, 1996 and 1995 of $14,511 and $23,487,
respectively.  This receivable is non-interest bearing.

NOTE 3 - FIXED ASSETS

The detail of fixed assets is as follows:

                                                   1996            1995
            Furniture and fixtures             $  65,734       $  32,956
            Leasehold improvements                30,931          28,942
            Office equipment                     373,141         304,706

               Total cost                        469,806         366,604

            Accumulated depreciation             163,195         119,778

               Net carrying amount              $306,611        $246,826

Depreciation expense was $84,205 and $52,321 in 1996 and 1995, respectively.

NOTE 4 - PAYABLE - AFFILIATE

The Company paid rent and advertising expenses to an entity related by common
ownership as follows:

                                                   1996            1995
            Rent                                $213,900        $145,229
            Advertising                          153,739         119,771

                                                $367,639        $265,000

These charges resulted in an unsecured, demand payable balance at December 31,
1996 and 1995 of $231,817 and $161,679, respectively.  The payable is non-
interest bearing.


NOTE 5 - NOTE PAYABLE

The Company maintains a $13,000,000 line of credit with a bank that expires on
April 30, 1997.  The line of credit is collateralized by substantially all
assets of the Company and guaranteed by companies affiliated through common
ownership.  Advances on the line of credit can only be drawn with evidence of a
committed residential mortgage and each advance is limited to the committed sale
price of the related mortgage loan.  Repayment of each advance is to be made
within fourteen business days of the funding.  The line of credit cannot be used
to fund any single residential mortgage in excess of $400,000.  The interest
rate on all advances under the line of credit shall be at a rate per annum equal
to the prime rate plus one-quarter percent (8.5% at December 31, 1996).

NOTE 6 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in
the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and
to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.  The primary
financial instruments are commitments to extend credit and commitments to sell
originated mortgage loans.  These instruments involve elements of credit and
market risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the balance sheet.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as
there is no violation of any condition established in the contract between the
time a mortgage loan is approved and closed.  Commitments generally have fixed
expiration dates or other termination clauses.  For each mortgage loan held for
sale and commitment to extend credit, the Company has obtained a commitment from
an investor to acquire the mortgage loan, thereby reducing market risk and
eliminating future cash requirements.  The Company evaluates each customer's
creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained
upon extension of credit, if any, is based on management's credit evaluation of
the counterparty.  Collateral held is residential real estate.  Commitments to
extend credit totaled approximately $18,000,000 at December 31, 1996.

NOTE 7 - LEASE COMMITMENTS

The Company has several operating leases for office space and certain equipment
expiring through June 2000.  The approximate aggregate future minimum lease
payments as of December 31, 1996 are as follows:

            1997                                $134,449
            1998                                 142,341
            1999                                 128,388
            2000                                  49,315

            Total                               $454,493

The Company also rents office space and equipment on a month-to-month basis from
an entity related through common ownership (Note 4).  Rental expense incurred on
leases, including rent paid to an affiliate, totaled $319,858 and $251,372 for
1996 and 1995, respectively.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   On October 13, 1997, Insignia Financial Group, Inc. ("Insignia" or the

companies, including First Ohio Escrow Corporation, Inc., First Ohio Mortgage
Corporation and Corporate Relocation Management, Inc. (collectively "Realty
One") pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of September 18, 1997.

   The purchase price was approximately $40 million, of which $36 million was
paid in cash and the balance paid through the issuance of Insignia common stock.
The cash portion of the purchase was financed by borrowings under the Company's
syndicated Revolving Credit Facility.

   Realty One, headquartered in Cleveland, provides full service residential
brokerage services throughout northeast Ohio for more than 90 residential
builders and handles more than 20,000 transactions valued at more than $2.5
billion annually.  The Realty One affiliated companies are engaged in the
business of providing residential mortgage services, escrow services, relocation
services and other related real estate services.

30, 1997, and Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997, and the year ended December 31, 1996, give

Revolving Credit Facility, as if effected at such date, in the case of the pro
forma balance sheet, or at January 1, 1996, in the case of the pro forma

Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.  These pro forma statements may not
