CBRE Financial Analyst - Debt & Structured Finance, Multi-Family
Anyone hear willing to share insight on CBRE's Debt & Structured Finance, Multi-Family team as a financial analyst? I think it deals mainly with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Would this position allow me to move into lending or underwriting at a bank? I have been appraising for nearly five-years, and have been looking to make a career move. Glassdoor lists that their base salaries range from $30 to $90k (avg. $60k). Therefore, how difficult would it be to get salaried in the $80k-$90k range with no brokerage experience?
which office. and yes i think it most certainly would.
Yes it would allow you to pivot to a bank. However, depending on the team/location, many people chose not to leave those teams since they generally are heavy hitters in the industry with solid deal flow, comp, and work hours.
This. There are people in the DSF group at CBRE that pay their career analysts $200k+

From your knowledge, would this still be a good group to work under in 2021? I'm looking at a few openings and I'm considering pursuing it. Would like to find out more from someone who has previously worked for them.
I met with a DSF analyst with CBRE a couple months ago. I forget their exact title but I think it was something along the lines of 'Production analyst' or something similar to that.
You are correct in thinking that it mainly deals with Fannie and Freddie. Freddie has been the top lender for CBRE for 9 years in a row.
Exit ops: I am 1000% sure you could exit to lending or underwriting at a bank. The analyst I met with walked me through their day to day, and it was exactly that = underwriting. They dig pretty deep and I think some of their analyst even go on property tours.
Pay: Not exactly sure. Didn't want to be rude and ask. I would say they are compensated pretty fairly. I've met people on the DSF side that didn't want to go brokerage as they preferred the steady biweekly paycheck. As to how big that paycheck is...idk.
Anymore questions feel free to ask. Just what I have learned through networking.
Exiting to a lender would be the easiest exit opportunity short of leaving for another debt broker. Comp will totally be dependent on how much of a rainmaker the producer you're tied to is. You should definitely be looking at 6 figures all-in though, unless you're somewhere tertiary and working for someone who isn't bringing in any deals.
I know a number of people who work in the DSF groups at CBRE and agree with everything said here. Just wanted to stop by and say that you can probably go straight to a bank, if that's your end goal. 5 years in appraisal is plenty of time and should catch any commercial real estate bank head's attention.
