Newmark Expands Debt and Structured Finance Division by Hiring Matt Snyder

Newmark Strengthens Its Debt and Structured Finance Offering

In a notable development in the world of commercial real estate finance, Newmark has announced the hiring of Matt Snyder as its new Executive Managing Director. With extensive experience in debt origination across various property types, Snyder is set to lead the charge in enhancing Newmark's Debt and Structured Finance practice in the Central Region, particularly in the Midwest. His appointment comes as Newmark continues to grow its capabilities in the rapidly evolving capital markets landscape.

Snyder's previous role was as co-head of the Midwest and East Coast Originations teams at Mesa West Capital, where he honed his skills in structuring commercial mortgage-backed securities and collateralized loan obligations. Over his two-decade career, he has also successfully originated balance sheet loans, mezzanine financing, and construction loans across significant asset classes, including seniors housing. His deep-rooted industry knowledge and well-established relationships are expected to be invaluable for Newmark as they aim to enhance their offerings to clients across the region.

Chad Lavender, President of Capital Markets, North America, emphasized the strategic importance of Snyder's addition to the team by saying, "Newmark has strategically built a Debt & Structured Finance practice stocked with talent able to deliver optimal outcomes for our clients in an evolving capital markets landscape. Matt's deep expertise and strong relationships will be invaluable as we enhance our capabilities in the Midwest and beyond."

The growth in demand for debt and finance solutions reflects the overall evolution in investor preferences and capital market activities in the region. Jesse Van Dyke, the Market Leader for the North Central Region, echoed this sentiment, noting that the integration of top-tier professionals like Snyder will enhance Newmark's capacity to deliver exceptional results for clients and solidify its market presence.

In his new role, Snyder will collaborate closely with Vice Chairman Clint Frease, who was added to Newmark in 2024 to expand the company’s debt operations across Texas and the Central Region. The partnership is expected to leverage Snyder's extensive experience and Frease’s regional knowledge to maximize Newmark's market impact.

Snyder expressed enthusiasm about joining Newmark, stating, "I have had the opportunity to work with many outstanding Newmark professionals on debt placement over the past several years. The company's momentum and the chance to collaborate with those professionals again to expand Newmark's business in the Midwest is a compelling opportunity."
