With more than 18 years of commercial real estate experience, Valenzuela specializes in the origination of conventional and workforce multifamily housing loans with deep expertise in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac programs.
Based in Phoenix, Valenzuela has played a vital role in placing over $6 billion of debt and equity through varying executions across a wide range of capital platforms and property types.

Valenzuela will partner with the Newmark Multifamily Capital Markets investment sales team of Executive Managing Directors Brad Goff, Brett Polachek, Chris Canter and Ryan Ash, and Senior Managing Director Mike Woodrick.
“Anthony’s GSE product knowledge and deep relationships with a diverse base of institutional and private clients align with Newmark’s commitment to continuously broaden the services we provide,” said Sharon Karaffa, President, Multifamily Debt & Structured Finance for Newmark.
Polachek added, “Anthony has long-standing relationships with clients who will continue to transact in our markets. He has a stellar track record in finding creative solutions and executions for his clients, and we have thoroughly enjoyed working in the market with him over the years. We are thrilled to have him join Newmark.”
Previously, Valenzuela served as a Senior Vice President in Debt & Structured Finance at CBRE. Prior to transitioning to mortgage banking, Valenzuela was a leader in the commercial valuation business, where he was recognized on a national level, earned his MAI designation, and provided expert witness testimony.
“As a top GSE lender and capital provider, I look forward to leveraging Newmark’s best-in-class platform and contributing to the growth of the company’s debt presence in Phoenix and the surrounding markets,” noted Valenzuela. “Newmark’s impressive roster of talent, both nationally and locally, is a testament to the firm’s commitment to excellence.
