Company: 

George Smith Partners

$473 million

Closed a total of 40 transactions in 2022

Placed $473 million in multifamily financing

Steve Bram and his team (consisting of David Pascale, Allison Higgins and Nick Rogers) were George Smith’s top-performing group in 2022.

The most notable transaction involved $39.4 million in acquisition financing for a five-building, suburban office campus in Laguna Hills, CA. The capital came from a CMBS lender and hard money lender and the deal closed in under 35 days. The deal consisted of two simultaneous loans for the 84%-occupied property.

These are some of the reasons we selected Steve Bram for inclusion in the 2023 Connect CRE Top Mortgage Brokers and Lenders Awards. These awards recognize industry professionals who have demonstrated the highest commercial real estate finance standards.
