Walker & Dunlop, Inc. announced today that it hired Trevor Blood as Vice President in its Capital Markets group, which brokers commercial real estate loans through its vast network of capital providers.

Trevor has a strong track record and experience spanning from investment sales to mortgage banking, and we anticipate that he will make a meaningful impact on our platform very quickly.”
