Krauthamer & Associates Completes Search for Walker & Dunlop
April 15, 2026 – Krauthamer & Associates (K&A) has placed Mark Washington as managing director of capital markets, multifamily investment sales, for Walker & Dunlop, Inc. “Our strategy is centered around patience and a long-term commitment to grow our multifamily investment sales platform with best-in-class talent,” said Kris Mikkelsen, executive vice president, co-head of capital markets at Walker & Dunlop. “Mark’s experience and advisory approach align perfectly with ours and we’re excited to have him lead our efforts in the Pacific Northwest. We gained significant market share nationally in 2025, and with Mark leading the charge in a new market for Walker & Dunlop, we’re confident that momentum will continue.”
Mr. Washington’s addition means Walker & Dunlop now has boots on the ground in each of the 20 most actively traded U.S. multifamily markets. The Pacific Northwest region has long been a focus for many of the firm’s largest institutional clients, several of whom have been active investors in the market for decades.
Mr. Washington is an institutional-focused broker with experience on both the advisory and principal sides. He has been involved in more than $50 billion in capital markets transactions and has closed approximately $4.5 billion in investment sales, joint venture, and development activity. He specializes in complex investment sale executions and delivering tailored advisory solutions for multifamily owners and investors.
Prior to joining Walker & Dunlop, Washington served as an executive vice president with CBRE’s capital markets team in the Pacific Northwest, where he focused on institutional multifamily investment sales. Earlier in his career, he held roles at Eastdil Secured, JLL, and TH Real Estate, advising clients on complex asset transactions and portfolio strategies.
In his new role, Mr. Washington will build and grow a dedicated Pacific Northwest team while partnering closely with the firm’s capital markets debt professionals and West Coast investment sales leaders to provide coordinated, full-service advisory platform to clients. He will partner with Nate Oleson in Northern California and Hunter Combs in Southern California to provide comprehensive coverage of institutional West Coast buyers and sellers, further strengthening Walker & Dunlop’s coast-to-coast capital markets platform.
