Gantry Grows Production Team With Key New Hires In Arizona & California
Nation’s Largest Independent Commercial Mortgage Banking Firm Adds Craig Hoebing as Director in Phoenix and David Kendall as Associate in Newport Beach
San Francisco, Calif. (April 16, 2021) – Gantry, the largest independent commercial mortgage banking firm in the U.S., has expanded its origination and production team with the addition of two key professionals working from its Phoenix, Ariz. and Newport Beach, Calif. offices. The new hires join a production team that originated $3.0 billion of commercial mortgages nationally in 2020 and has met or exceeded that volume for the past five years.
“Even with the unprecedented disruptions of 2020, Gantry has continued to grow its dedicated team of expert commercial mortgage production talent over the past 12 months and that focus continues in 2021,” said Michael Heagerty, Principal and CFO with Gantry. “Our independent culture requires a certain depth of experience, drive and expertise to thrive, and when we identify candidates, whose talents exemplify those requirements, we have a place for them on our producer-centric team where they will be supported in growing their professional practice.”
Both new executives will focus on commercial mortgage debt origination and placement on behalf of Gantry’s extensive roster of correspondent and affiliated lenders. Craig Hoebing joins the firm’s Phoenix production team as Director, and David Kendall will join its Newport Beach production team as Associate. Both will serve clients nationally in identifying, structuring and underwriting preferred debt solutions across all asset categories, including multifamily, industrial, office, retail, self-storage and hospitality properties.
