Today, we’re shining the spotlight on Associate Director Shannon Wilson of Berkadia Mortgage Banking. Based out of sunny Miami, Florida, Wilson specializes in crafting unique, tailored solutions that align with her clients’ goals across multifamily, office, industrial, retail, and construction sectors.
“Each deal is distinct, with clients bringing their own desires and motivations to the table, making every transaction feel like a complex puzzle,” Wilson said. “I take a personal stake in each transaction, and I feel at my best when I know I’ve done what’s best for my clients.”
Wilson’s journey into commercial real estate began when she joined the Capital Markets team at CBRE which was quickly followed by her team’s strategic move to Berkadia in 2016, a decision driven by the company’s leading position in multifamily mortgage banking and its status as the overall #1 GSE lender by volume for the past two years. According to Wilson, what has kept her at Berkadia since then has been its “exceptional leadership and unparalleled access to capital markets.”
“Whenever we encounter challenges with a deal, Berkadia’s leadership consistently steps up to help work towards a solution,” Wilson added. “This proactive support, combined with our strategic Life Company correspondent relationships and partnerships with diverse lenders, solidifies Berkadia’s reputation as a premier industry player.”
Berkadia’s investment in technology has also been a “game-changer” in both keeping her engaged and her clients happy. With a deep understanding of Berkadia’s proprietary data analytics tool, Wilson can uncover data which provides her clients with a competitive edge when evaluating new opportunities. This technological advantage provided by Berkadia ensures that her clients are well positioned in the market to make informed, strategic decisions.
“Berkadia has been instrumental in my career growth by providing a supportive team environment and access to numerous mentors who have championed my professional development,” Wilson said. “As I advance in my production career, I am enthusiastic about the opportunities and growth that await me.”
