WD (the "Company") announced today that its multifamily investment sales platform, Walker & Dunlop Investment Sales (WDIS), recently closed its 25^th transaction of the year, bringing the Company's year-to-date sales to over $1.5 billion as of August 30, 2016. Walker & Dunlop arranged the debt placement for one third of the total sales volume.  

Greg Engler, executive vice president, stated, "Hitting $1.5 billion in sales before the start of the fourth quarter is an achievement that reflects the active transaction market today as well as the hard work of the entire WDIS team. In the past year, WDIS has expanded its client base and leveraged the Company's debt placement relationships to gain access to more deals across the country, and in turn, existing WDIS clients are now looking to Walker & Dunlop for their financing needs. I couldn't be more excited for the remainder of the year and to continue expanding the presence of WDIS throughout the country while taking advantage of the synergies between Walker & Dunlop's multifamily investment sales and debt placement platforms."
