Cohen Financial has added eight new hires to its loan servicing team. The team is actively servicing commercial real estate loans for a number of new third-party clients, as well as managing a large special servicing contract that was recently awarded. This contract includes more than 100 defaulted and delinquent securitized commercial and multifamily loans located throughout the U.S.
Bringing depth and a broad range of combined experience in the CRE loan administration, asset management and special servicing arenas, the team positions Cohen Financial as a leading provider of CRE loan services. Led by executive vice presidents and partners, Tim Mazzetti and Dean Wheeler, the new hires include:
Jeff Wagner, Director of Operations
Sean Morris, Senior Asset Manager
Michael Kilderry, Asset Manager
Joshua Cato, Asset Manager
Brad Tucker, Asset Manager
Venice Robinson, Loan Administrator
Jameson Sturdevant, Credit Analyst
Kelli Shankle, Portfolio Reporting Analyst
"With the addition of these new hires, Cohen Financial now boasts one of the most tenured loan servicing and special servicing teams in the industry, positioning us to take advantage of the significant growth we envision in managing performing, sub- and non-performing CRE loans on behalf of both existing clients, as well as newly formed funds and investors who are acquiring or looking to acquire distressed assets in the next few years," said Mazzetti.
In line with the company's focus on managing defaulted loans, Cohen Financial expects to pursue the Standard & Poor's special servicer rating later this year.
Jeff Wagner joins Cohen Financial with more than 23 years of commercial real estate finance experience. He is responsible for overseeing a team of loan administrators who perform all aspects of the core loan servicing activities.
Prior to joining the company, Jeff was the director of structured finance at Fitch Ratings. Prior to Fitch, he spent more than 15 years at Midland Loan Services in various roles.
