Walker & Dunlop Makes Strategic Hires to Bolster Private Client Space
BETHESDA, Md. --(BUSINESS WIRE)
Walker & Dunlop, Inc. announced today that it has added three experienced originators to its roster: Tim Thompson and Kyle Jemtrud, both joining as managing directors, and Wilson Molitor joining as a director. Their focus will be growing market share in small to middle markets across key regions, including the Southeast, West, and Central United States, further strengthening the existing group's presence in the private client space. Thompson and Jemtrud will report to Alison Williams, executive vice president and group head of the multifamily small balance group. Molitor will report to Jemtrud.
With over 20 years of industry experience, Thompson, based in Austin, TX, is responsible for originating small balance, conventional, and affordable multifamily financing through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as well as FHA, bridge, and CMBS executions across the Southcentral and Western US. Jemtrud also brings over 20 years of experience and works out of Walker & Dunlop’s Minneapolis, MN, and Fort Lauderdale, FL offices. He will focus on originating loans for small balance and conventional multifamily properties, leveraging Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, HUD, bridge, and capital markets executions across the Midwest and Southeast U.S.
“We are excited to announce the growth of our team with the addition of these seasoned professionals,” said Williams. “Kyle, Tim, and Wilson each bring ample industry expertise and a deep commitment to their clients. As they expand their teams in the coming months, their leadership will further solidify our position in the market segment led by non-institutional investors and entrepreneurial owners, while also boosting our ability to provide customized financing solutions that address our clients' evolving needs.”
Prior to joining Walker & Dunlop, Thompson was a managing director at Greystone, where he supervised the firm’s loan origination process and successfully originated and closed over 450 transactions, including Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA, and CMBS multifamily loans.
