Sales Total
$2,583,627,000
Newmark’s Carolinas Multifamily Sales Team is led by Vice Chairmen John Heimburger, Dean Smith and Sean Wood. The group specializes in national multifamily and mixed-use transactions. In 2025, the team brought 41 deals to the closing table, valued at $2.59 billion, while handling nearly 90% of $100 million-plus multifamily transactions throughout the Carolinas.
Notable deals featured the three largest single-asset sales in North Carolina since 2022: Birkdale Village in the affluent Lake Norman submarket of the Charlotte MSA, Peace Apartments in downtown Raleigh, and Hawkins Press in Charlotte’s South End.
These are some of the reasons we selected the Newmark’s Carolinas Multifamily Sales Team as one of Connect CRE’s Atlanta & Southeast Top Broker Award winners for 2026. These awards recognize industry professionals who have demonstrated the highest standards and transaction volumes in investment sales and leasing.
