Business Development Representative (B2B, Entry-Level) | Commercial Real Estate Finance

Company Description

AST Defeasance is the largest firm in its field nationwide, advising on several thousand commercial real estate finance transactions every year. Defeasance, our core specialty, is a sophisticated strategy commercial property owners use to pay off certain loans early by replacing the property as collateral with a portfolio of securities. Building on that expertise, we’ve expanded into rate cap advisory, commercial loan assumption and loan workouts, so we can support property owners at nearly every stage of a loan’s life. We’re a boutique team, so there are no layers of hierarchy between you and the work. We provide top-tier mentorship - so once trained, you’ll be on active deals right away and your work will be seen and used.
