Might be a hot take but I’d stay away from Cushman for anything capital markets related. About 8-10 years ago they made a major push to pick up star brokers and almost none of them are still around. I’m sure there are some teams that absolutely kill it but as a platform on the capital markets side Cushman lacks the resources that competitors have.
Edit: Just adding more info so it doesn’t seem like I’m hating on Cushman for no reason. The teams are extremely siloed which isn’t the case at other some other shops. Especially in this day and age if you’re chasing clientele that operates outside of one metro you need to be coordinated with other teams at the firm. They’re also not a DUS lender so they can’t originate any agency business which doesn’t seem like a big deal but agency drives a good bit of revenue at DUS shops through both originations and servicing. Also pretty sure they’re not licensed for securities which means they can’t advise on swaps, ctl financings, etc. That doesn’t seem like too big of a deal but it matters to your big boy clients meaningfully.
This has been my general impression. It's more of the small/wild west of brokerage, you get some really good teams, but you also get some teams where you wonder how they stay in business at all. They're also generally more focused on smaller deals ($50mm).
