Walker & Dunlop Arrives in Austin, Hires HFF/JLL Team

Walker & Dunlop is opening shop in Austin, adding a new market to its national platform. The Bethesda, MD company hired veterans Matt Pohl and Forrest Bass as directors, and Spencer Roy as vice president. The team will focus on origination and execution of multifamily property sales, with a focus on Texas and the southern U.S. The office will open at 501 Congress Ave.

Prior to joining Walker & Dunlop, Bass, Pohl and Roy were with HFF, preceding the JLL acquisition. While with the company, they were responsible for multifamily property marketing and sales throughout Texas. Together, the team closed more than $4 billion of sales transactions.

“We are thrilled to welcome Matt, Forrest, and Spencer to Walker & Dunlop,” said Walker & Dunlop’s Greg Engler.” The addition of this team to our property sales platform deepens our capabilities in the south, with a strategic presence in Central Texas, one of the most active commercial real estate markets in the country.”
