The GSE works with its lender partners to provide debt solutions for all segments of the multifamily market, including small and large multifamily loans, seasoned pool purchases, and structured transactions.
Fannie Mae recently announced that it invested $19.8 billion in multifamily housing last year. Lenders utilizing Fannie Mae's Delegated and Underwriting and Servicing (DUS) platform were responsible for over 90 percent of the GSE's multifamily debt business in 2009.
[COLUMN_BREAK]The following 10 DUS lenders produced the highest volume by contributing at least $700 million each through the DUS platform in 2009 and are listed in descending order:
# PNC Financial Services Group Inc.
# Deutsche Bank Berkshire Mortgage
# Prudential Multifamily Mortgage, Inc.
# Wells Fargo Bank N.A.
# Walker & Dunlop, LLC
# Greystone Servicing Corporation, Inc
# Grandbridge Real Estate Capital LLC
# Arbor Commercial Funding LLC
# AmeriSphere Multifamily Finance, LLC
# CB Richard Ellis, Inc.
""The DUS lenders remain committed to providing liquidity and stability to the multifamily market during these challenging times and continue to demonstrate market leadership in producing solid results in 2009,"" said Ken Bacon, EVP of Fannie Mae's housing and community development division.
The GSE has said it expects fundamentals of the multifamily market to remain under pressure in 2010. As the U.S. economy recovers and excess housing supply begins to decline, Fannie Mae says its multifamily unit will remain focused on providing liquidity and will continue to work with its servicers to ensure properties are maintained as safe, affordable housing.
