Ones To Watch: Innovators In Commercial Real Estate: Kevin Toland, Northmarq

Industry Outlook:
One of the biggest opportunities for innovation in commercial real estate financing is greater data transparency. At Northmarq, our expertise in CRE debt and equity placement gives us insight into how reliable information improves financing outcomes for our clients. Higher data integrity standards improve the quality and certainty of financing execution. Greater transparency helps mortgage bankers deliver better results and builds trust for successful borrower-lender relationships.

Looking Ahead:
What excites me most about the future of CRE is how technology can enhance expertise and decision-making. AI can create efficiencies, but mortgage bankers who take the time to understand the minutiae of the deal will stand out. Meanwhile, Northmarq is leveraging our in-house CRM software to accelerate the flow of lender intelligence across our network. This enables us to provide borrowers with real-time market insights and informed financing guidance based on current lender priorities.
