• #3 Producer for Multifamily Affordable Housing
• #3 Producer for Small Loans
• #4 Producer for Structured Transactions

“Congratulations to our amazing team and partnership with Fannie Mae for finishing #1 for the fifth consecutive year,” said Walker & Dunlop Chairman and CEO Willy Walker. “2023 was an extremely challenging market, given rising interest rates. Once again, our scaled partnership with Fannie Mae allowed us to provide our clients with capital and financing solutions throughout the year at significant scale.”

Walker continued, “It is an honor, and great credit to the Walker & Dunlop team, that we remained at the top of the league tables in 2023. With rate cuts expected in 2024, and banks and other capital sources still reluctant to lend, it is our expectation that the need for GSE capital, and Walker & Dunlop’s expertise and solutions, remains strong in the coming year.”
