BETHESDA, Md., April 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Walker
& Dunlop, Inc. (the "Company") announced that it has hired a
new debt financing team in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. This addition to the firm's Capital Markets
group, which brokers commercial real estate loans through its vast
network of capital providers, enables Walker & Dunlop to
continue expanding its geographic footprint in the Northeast and
Mid-Atlantic regions.
The team is led by experienced professionals John Banas and Kristopher Wood, who both join Walker &
Dunlop as Senior Vice Presidents and Managing Directors. Additional
team members include Vice President Chad
Levitt, Assistant Vice Presidents Gareth Hissong, Martin
Duval, and Tom Hemcher, and
Analyst Adam Rudman. The team will
be responsible for sourcing and structuring permanent, bridge, and
construction loans for all commercial real estate asset
classes.
"We are excited to welcome this talented group of Capital
Markets professionals to Walker & Dunlop and to establish a
presence in an important market like Philadelphia," said Walker & Dunlop
Capital Markets Chief Production Officer, Bill Wein. "This team has an impressive track
record of successfully securing commercial debt and equity
financing for a wide array of property types, and I am confident
they will add considerable value across our platform."
Messrs. Banas, Wood, Levitt, Hissong, Hemcher, and Duval join
Walker & Dunlop from Colliers International, where they were
responsible for sourcing debt and equity financing for property
types including multifamily, office, industrial, retail, student
and seniors housing, and hospitality. Collectively, the team has
closed more than $3.3 billion in
transaction volume throughout their careers.
The addition of a presence in Philadelphia increases the Company's national
footprint to 29 offices across the United

brokered loan originations at a compound annual rate of 28 percent.
