Walker & Dunlop Taps Fannie Mae Veteran to Head Affordable Loan Production

Walker & Dunlop hired John Ducey as affordable chief production officer, based in Bethesda, MD. He’ll lead Walker & Dunlop’s affordable housing financing efforts across all capital sources, including Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and private capital providers as the company seeks to expand its affordable lending footprint nationally.

Multifamily EVP Don King said, “John has extensive experience in the affordable housing sector, balanced between Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) equity investing and affordable lending and will be an invaluable asset as we focus on tax credit equity syndication services over time to supply owners and developers with much-needed LIHTC equity.”

Prior to joining Walker & Dunlop, Ducey served as director of multifamily LIHTC equity investments at Fannie Mae, responsible for investing LIHTC equity and managing the relationships with eight LIHTC syndicators. He previously was part of the Multifamily Affordable Housing Credit group at Fannie Mae.
