Wolins joins Hunt Mortgage Group as managing director and chief credit officer

Hunt Mortgage Group has hired Daniel Wolins as managing director and chief credit officer for commercial real estate. In this role - a new position at the firm - he will be charged with extending the firms reach beyond multifamily to include other property types, including retail, office, hotels and more. Wolins will operate out of Hunt's New York office and will serve clients nationwide. He will report to Rob Wrzosek, president of Hunt. "We are very excited to announce this new position and Dan's addition to the team as it represents an expansion of strategy at Hunt Mortgage Group," said Wrzosek. "Hunt - formerly Centerline - focused exclusively on the multifamily platform to date. Dan has been hired to spearhead the effort to expand our reach beyond non-multifamily to a wide variety of other commercial real estate asset classes." Hunt is a Fannie Mae DUS lender, Freddie Mac seller-servicer, FHA-approved mortgage provider, bridge and CMBS lender, as well as a source for other forms of alternative capital. "Dan is a seasoned executive who has spent his entire 20 year career in commercial real estate finance," added Wrzosek. "He has a proven track record of achievement and is knowledgeable in all commercial real estate asset classes. We look forward to tapping his knowledge and leadership. He will be instrumental in helping us extend our offering nationwide and in achieving our growth goals." Before coming to Hunt, Wolins was a partner at Olmsted Capital, a New York-based real estate private equity firm. Prior to that, he was a consultant for Barclays Capital on their CMBS team and also for Spring 11, a commercial real estate due diligence provider. Earlier in his career he was a Director for Deutsche Bank's Commercial Real Estate Group in London for two years and spent eight years in the Real Estate Finance and Securitization Group at Credit Suisse in New York. Wolins graduated from the University of Vermont with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration.
