PITTSBURGH, PA – HFF announced today that it has been approved for a National Seniors Housing Designation effective February 1st from Freddie Mac.  HFF is now authorized to sell and service conventional loans secured by multifamily seniors housing properties nationwide.

                HFF’s Freddie Mac Program Plus® Seller/Servicer line of business is led by senior managing director Steve Henderson in the firm’s Houston office.  Mr. Henderson will team with associate director Campbell Roche who will lead the firm’s seniors housing Freddie Mac initiative.  Mr. Roche will be supported by associate director Luke Vanderpoel and director Carol Mistretta.

This designation is the latest development in HFF’s national healthcare practice, which expanded its seniors housing platform last year with the addition of seniors housing investment sales specialists Ryan Maconachy and Chad Lavender, who joined the firm’s Dallas office in March 2012.

                “We are very excited about the seniors housing designation and look forward to working with and expanding our relationship with Freddie Mac in this new capacity,” said executive managing director and managing member John Pelusi in HFF’s Pittsburgh office.

While the seniors housing designation is new to HFF, the firm has been an active Seller/Servicer with Freddie Mac since 2005, and in 2012, the firm completed more than $2.5 billion in Freddie Mac loans. 

The firm’s year-end unaudited transaction volume for all property types will likely total $41 billion on more than 1,300 transactions across the company’s capital markets platforms, which represents a 16.5 percent gain over 2011 transaction volume.
